A solo punk band with songs ranging from politics to social issues to evolutionary biology.
Lacking any real musical talent, I decided to use Punk-o-Matic to create some generic punk backgrounds to the various songs I had written. Recorded at low quality through a computer microphone, the songs are not musical masterpieces but the lyrics are still strong. Give it a listen, you might enjoy it.

Lyrics
The food on your plate Where did it originate? Three species hence Nutrients commenced With energy from our sun The cycle has begun Photosynthesized In order to utilize The raw energy That reaches you and me At the top trophic level So far removed At the top trophic level Eating 1% of our food At the top trophic level Wasted meat on our breath At the top trophic level Starving to death Thanks to entropy There’s low efficiency And it takes ten pounds of plants To feed one pound of ants And ten pounds of them For a pound of human Yet since we don’t eat bugs Further under we’re dug We’re much higher still Watch the energy spill At the top trophic level So far removed At the top trophic level Eating 1% of our food At the top trophic level Wasted meat on our breath At the top trophic level Starving to death For each acre of land That could feed a human If only crops are planted There exists an advantage Over raising livestock So let us take stock Stop squandering food As far too many lose Give up your meat And take to the streets At the top trophic level So far removed At the top trophic level Eating 1% of our food At the top trophic level Wasted meat on our breath At the top trophic level Starving to death At the top trophic level We need not stay At the top trophic level End this price we pay At the top trophic level Subsistence for all At the top trophic level Your humanity calls!
