Hell No!

I play the Trombone in the ska/punk band Reel Big Fish. After years of making records and tours, I started to notice that my taste in music was headed in a different direction than my comrades. After watching various engineers and producers at work on our records I decided that I was ready to try it myself. Right about then The second installment of the war in Iraq was starting to pick up (I was doing a lot of protesting) and I saw an opportunity to combine my anarchist views with my musical desires... Let me just say that 2001 till now has been quite a learning experience.
