This isn't really a "band" so much as it is an easier way for me to show what I have recorded to my friends without having to upload an mp3 every time, and so they don't have to wait to download them.
I'm really not a good musician, and I'm not a good singer at all. What I'm really trying to accomplish here is a decent quality recording, as audio engineering is something that I'm very into right now.
For now these will all be cover songs but who knows? Maybe some day I'll actually learn how to write a song of my own and if it's not too embarrassing, I'd throw it up here too.

Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
I have in the past in a few of my previous bands, but I do not perform now, except maybe very rarely for my girlfriend.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has been undeniably helpful for smaller acts that wish to get their music out there. Many people think that major labels are hurting because of downloading, and I'm sure it contributes in part, but I think the biggest reason for their troubles is that it is now so easy for one to find music they like on their own through the internet, so the pop that majors keep putting out there isn't the only thing people get a chance to hear. They can now hear and buy anything they want to.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not since I'm not a serious musician by any means, but if I was then I would if the time was right.
Band History:
I've been in quite a few bands in the past but I'm currently just messing around by myself.

Ben Roque of Brighter (now called The Bell Drive) and Zac continue to make music on their own, the other two bands aren't making music anymore.
