MUSIC
-
Griffon - "The Weight of Water"
Griffon - "The Weight of Water" Track number: 2 Year: 2010 Album: The Weight of Water
This track is a mix of an open chorus and driving, pop-punk themed chorus. I always try to play those licks with a heavy foot!
-
Griffon - "Disconnected"
Griffon - "Disconnected" Track number: 4 Year: 2007 Album: Self-titled
"Disconnected" is an example of how I like to compose parts - though the song was written as a ballad, the layering of percussive patterns shifted it to this, my favorite song from Griffon's debut EP.
