Picture for song 'Agreeable Incoherence' by artist 'Sore Thumb'

Agreeable Incoherence Agreeable Incoherence

MY favorite beat ever, and my favoite lyrics ever. This is pretty much my best song now. I intend to do a better recording/mix eventually, but this version will work for now.

Hip Hop General

Picture for song 'Thumbs Up, Hands Down' by artist 'Sore Thumb'

Thumbs Up, Hands Down Thumbs Up, Hands Down

My first song. It is about thumbs. Clever in parts, predictable rhyme scheme, beat not too original, but still an all-around fun tune.

Hip Hop General

Alpha Male Alpha Male

A song about dominant personalities. One of my favorite beats, and some of my best lyrics.

Alternative Hip Hop

Picture for song 'EN-THOOO-ZEE-AAAA-ZUM' by artist 'Sore Thumb'

EN-THOOO-ZEE-AAAA-ZUM EN-THOOO-ZEE-AAAA-ZUM

One of my first beats, and borrows heavily from Fruity Loops 4's default instrument library. It is about making good music that you can personally get into. It is kind of a criticism of the Christian music industry.

Christian Rap

Picture for song 'Cyborgs Battling in Space' by artist 'Sore Thumb'

Cyborgs Battling in Space Cyborgs Battling in Space

Catchy bassline and some humorous rhymes about cyborgs.

Hip Hop General

I, Sore Thumb, am now what you listen to. You should probably list me among your favorite bands on myspace, and also make one of my songs play automatically and bother people who visit.
Band/artist history
1986: I was born. Early 1990's: Got my first DC Talk album, and was thus introduced to hip-hop music 1997: Began playing trumpet 2002: Heard John Reuben's "Hindsight" album began to recognize hip-hop as a viable art form. Performed original material onstage for the first time at a kiddie Christmas pageant 2003: Performed "Jesus Freak" with "The Nude Kitties" at Power in the Park. Took on the name "Sore Thumb" 2004: Played "Power in the Park" again, this time I played trumpet with "Hero Inside." Aquired the bare minimum equipment needed to record my own songs. Began work on my first album. 2005: Got onstage at a John Reuben concert, and performed the first verse of "Thumbs Up, Hands Down" 2006: Completed "A Declaration of Thumb War" album. Played two shows so far this year.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I am available to play live at any location on the globe as long as I can responsibly spare the time. All I ask is as much money as it takes to transport me there from Litchfield Minnesota (Or Roseville Minnesota in the event of I'm at school at the time.)
Your musical influences
Oddly enough, Steve Taylor, a new-wave artist who gradually moved on to more tolerable forms of rock in the early nineties is my biggest influence. He was a Christian, yet he produced compelling material. John Reuben is also a huge influence, partially because me and him are practically chummy. Gorillaz also influence me a lot, because seriously they are the coolest virtual band except for The Electric Mayhem, and my guilty pleasure is the Transplants. Not for the gangster cliches and the cussing though.
What equipment do you use?
Fruity Loops 4, Blue Snowball USB microphone.
Anything else?
To those of you who are not Christians: I am a Christian, and sometimes I sing about Christian things. This is something that you may have to deal with. I assure you, though, I am not like the Christian rockers/rappers that you have heard before who are not very good (because I am good) To those of you who are Christians: Sometimes I rap about stupid things that do not have a point. This is something that you may need to deal with.
