Don't Dig Me Up Don't Dig Me Up
my 2011 Halloween tune. This song is very close to being literally true.
Writing's on the Wall Writing's on the Wall
It started as Halloween-type tune, but transmogrified into this...
Bloody Pit of Horror Bloody Pit of Horror
My 16th and final album track - all 16 movies watched, and a song recorded for each!
John Peel's Ghost John Peel's Ghost
a song inspired by discussions in the NMR about Britain's late beloved DJ...

Definitely one of the newest, and quite possibly the freshest, most unique bands that Calgary Alberta has seen in quite some time..."A Cry of Hounds" is ready to infect your ears, your mind, your heart.
This band has successfully captured the sounds of some great 60's garage punk with these songs. Based on 16 b-grade horror flicks with such titles as "Beast of Yucca Flats", "Teenage Zombies" and "Creature From the Haunted Sea", this music will bring a smile to your face and get your whole body grooving to the music! All 16 tunes are now captured on one glorious garage punk rave-up album called GARAGE MONSTERS.Have you performed in front of an audience?fresh off their first successful gig in Calgary...the band is now ready to spread the B-grade gospel of garage punk...look out! Here we come!
Your musical influences
any b-grade horror movie gets an A+ from us. So do the wonderfully undead sounds of the 60s garage bands: The Sonics, the Standells, The Seeds, Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Count Five, Blues Magoos, the Amboy Dukes...even more recent inspirations like Alice Cooper, the Cramps, the B-52s, and some wonderfully retro bands like Jet and the Hives. A-OOOOOOHH!What equipment do you use?
60s keys, drums with skulls on 'em...loud squawky guitars and thundering basses. We got it all, Monster style.Anything else?
Captain Curtis the Undead Pirate - Keyboard, vox
Mary Queen of Vampires - Bass, vox
Skully - Drums, vox
Screamin' J - Guitar, vox

Bonus points for implying relationships as a thinly disguised veil for zombiism. You got a real nice drum sound going there too.
As usual, I'm in favour of more sonic walls of feedback.
Jeff, listening to Writing's on the Wall. This is a really cool song. Well written and played beautifully. Really tuff stuff, bro.
Hey, sorry for the delay.. haven't been around these parts much this year yet.. but thank you thank you for the kind words .. and while I'm here I have to give props to the zombie action as well.. someday hope to be cool enough to properly integrate zombies as a subject to sing about!!! Sure I'll hear you around! Cheers man!
Oh this is a blast!! killer guitars and your singing has gotten so good man!!Really rocked my socks off!!!
A lot of fun. A raw lo-fi ball of energy of a song. It practically blew the woofers out of my speakers. :)
