ABOUT

Making a minimalist rock/punk band. Heavy heavy interest in finding a e-drummer. Something new and experimental.

I would primarily describe myself as a music technologist who can play bass and guitar passably. I might not know the most exotic chords and scales, but I can damn sure make noodling on anything sound and or feel good.

Influences

That noise a toaster oven makes when its done, getting covered by rust trying to fix a car that you should have sold ages ago, working at sh*tty jobs that don't pay enough. That feeling when you step on a sharp piece of wire in the middle of the night with the lights off. The smell of bandages. The endless struggle to create something by pushing through an invisible wall that nobody else sees.
and I guess Rancid, Avenged Sevenfold, Aphex Twin, QOTSA, and the white strpies.
