The Tones
12-15-06 A new all played, sung and written by me. A little dancey, a little sardonic. I don't really know what it is
11-14-06 An homage to Pink Floyd. Featuring Mike Wich on Acoustic and Bass. Written and recorded by myself. Myself and Mike on all instruments.
10-25-06 Recorded live in The Tones bandroom. Written, played and sung by The Tones.
10-18-06 Spent a lot of time on this fun little pop rocker
9-30-06 A slower one, downbeat feel with actually upbeat lyrics. All played, sung, and written by myself.
9-7-06 Something completely different. It would be the hidden track on the album
9-4-06: Another pop rocky song. I still struggle with the singing and mixing the vocals but it's not too bad. Everything written, played and sung by me.
8-24-06 A fun punky little number. The Cracks from MD helped write this one and sang backing vocals - everything else is just me
8-5-06: A bouncy guitar driven pop song, funky drums keep it moving. Started out as Pulp ended up closer to late stage New Order but really just all Tones
7-28-06 Mentikoned earlier today that no one is making 3 minutes pop songs any more. Got home found no one in and decided to make one. Took 2 hours total, singing is not that good but it serves it's purpose.
7-25-06 A somewhat experimental collab with Albert Forrsall. He came up with chorus, I did all the music, story and recording/mixing.
7-15-06 Fake Love. Started again with a Gorillaz idea but went elsewhere. Everything except drums played and written and sung by me. Quite happy with this one
7-3-06 This time I attempt to sound like the Gorillaz, kinda ran out of steam on the song though
6-13-06 An original written, played and sung by myself. Wanted to do one that would build over the song - a la Snow Patrol - ended up quite different but I'm quite happy with it.
5-22-06 An acoustic(y) version of the song More that was done full band style somewhere down below
5-22-06 Another written, played sung by me. Maybe I need to do the vocals again ? Started as an homage to Ben Folds ended up nothing like that as usual
5-11-06 A Nick Abrahams song with me singing. Recorded a while back but finally mixed by me. One take vocals from me, drums from my loops and lots of Nick guitars and bass
5-13-06 Now finished. I've had trouble getting the vocals to sit right but I've had enough. All written, sung and played by me. POD, Variax, Toneport, MicroKorg
4-27-06 An experiment in lo-fi. First song I ever did on the PS04 exclusively, written and recorded in one hour while sitting in the garage with the children
