Hindu Kush Hindu Kush
This was one of the most amazing experiences in improvisational jamming that I (D Wood) experienced. Trevor, Jacob, and I jammed this session out in the 2003 and named it Hindu Kush for some odd reason :)

Release (Jan 2004) Release (Jan 2004)
This is a jam that was recorded in early January of 2004 in the backroom of fun. It was one of those nights that the "magic" was there. Thankfully we were able to capture this jam on the digital recorder and it is now available for you to enjoy.

I've Got a Lighter I've Got a Lighter
This song was a Kelvin fan favorite over the years and this particular recording was done in 2002 when Curt Harrington was in the band as a rhythm guitarist. A melodic song throughout with an upbeat chorus, highly influenced by Tom Petty.

NYC NYC
This was the last song written by Kelvin. It's a bittersweet song for us because it is positive evidence of the progression of songwriting up until the end and unfortunately it was the last song to come out of the band.

Slam Jam Live Slam Jam Live
This is a live recording of "Slam Jam" recorded at the Ole Fort Pub. Another song that falls into the funk category of Kelvin's catalog. It showcases Jay's poetry slammin' skills and groovy funk rhythms of the band.

This song helped define the sound of Kelvin. A mix of funky bass and rhythms and a melodic verse, topped off with a blazing 2 minute solo at the end.

Another Day With You Another Day With You
This Kelvin anthem was one of the first songs that came together and surprised us, as a band. It proved to us that we had something to offer to the world of music and was a favorite all the way to the end of the band.

It's You It's You
This is a quintessential Kelvin song that was always full of energy when it was played. This particular recording best captures that energy and was recorded with the infamous Korg D1200 digital recorder.
