These songs are the first ones I've ever written. They were done on a Zoom MRS8. They are by no means finished, just bare bones that need to be expanded on. I'm still learning the digital recording thing and it's a pain in the neck to program drums, so alot of the beats unfortunately just continually loop. It's hard to be creative without a drummer in the room with you to play off of. My friend Craig Nunemacher of BLS/Crowbar said he'll lay down some drums but I need to finish the songs first. Another friend Kyle Thomas (singer for Exhorder, Trouble, Alabama Thunderpussy, Floodgate, Pitts vs. Preps, Jones' Lounge and sang "Constitution Down" on the Roadrunner United CD for Joey Jordison from Slipknot) has committed to writing lyrics/singing on them also. As I said before, they still need alot of work and some real drums and bass recorded, but this is a good idea of the basic sound. I really like to get feedback, whether its positive or negative on what you like/dislike. Just trying to get better, so feel free to email me.
