Year of the Skwirl
SKWIRL. I write and play to express what I feel; my thoughts and insights on life...
I've been gone from the music for too long.. I'm coming back in '08

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've done the rock and metal band thing, but find that in a group some people become unreliable. I also did the rap thing for a while, it didn't work out with God. Now I just capture my inspirations on tape and put it here.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I love to play live, and I do perform live on special occassions; but not too often, since I recently moved and no longer have a live crew to play with.
Your musical influences
My lyrical influences are mostly just life's situations, things I've seen and been through, I take the feelings from that and make my music. Musically, my influences have to be CCR, Lennon, Counting Crows, POD, and alot of originality.
What equipment do you use?
Tascam Portastudio 424MKIII, with Maxwell XLII tapes (for tracking). Shure SM58 mics, Ibanez guitars & a Boss SP-303 sampler. Most of what you hear on this site is all analog, but I have recently upgraded to digital.
Anything else?
If you happen to download anything, email me and tell me what you think.
