Demo #10 Do you Hate? - Final Update for sure and honestly this time.

November 27th - via: kickstarter.com
Well, we've reached the end of the "Kickstarter Road". I'm assuming this is the end because I'm not going to raise $6000 in 3 days. Once again, thanks to those who were willing to give their hard earned cash, this record is getting made either way,... (Read More)

Demo #9 "Blemish"

November 26th - via: kickstarter.com
Here's the second to last demo I'll be sharing, "Blemish". Tomorrow I'll share one last demo as we head into the holiday weekend. The campaign is over on Saturday. This song is me very much revisiting my old hardcore/post-hardcore roots. I cut my... (Read More)

Demo #8 "It's My Trip"

November 25th - via: kickstarter.com
I know I said the last demo was the last demo, but I've been writing some good shit. The record keeps getting angrier and snottier as I get angrier and snottier about this Kickstarter. Anyway here's demo #8. I'll probably share two more demos this... (Read More)

Final Demo (and update) - "Don't You".

November 19th - via: kickstarter.com
Thought I'd share one last demo, and probably last update. This week sometime, I'll hit the 40 song mark I was aiming for. This is song 34 or something like that. If I keep producing good shit, I'll keep going but the idea was to stop at 40. Thanks... (Read More)

Demo #6 "Sew It Shut" (Getting frustrated with this campaign...)

November 11th - via: kickstarter.com
I wrote and recorded this in half an hour last night, getting frustrated with this campaign so, here you go, angry Daniel. Fun little 2 minute screamy-hardcore song. Lyrics mean nothing except that I feel sick to my stomach all the time. Starting to... (Read More)

Demo #5 "Meat of The Youth"

November 8th - via: kickstarter.com
Here's the last demo for my week of demo sharing - "Meat of The Youth". It's the (tentative) title track of the record. It's a good summation of the record and it's overall tone. Lyrically it's inspired by the disgusting youth/beauty obsessed culture... (Read More)

Demo #4 "Wasn't Planning On Being Alive"

November 7th - via: kickstarter.com
Lyrically, so far anyway, the lyrics all deal with themes of youth, death, depression, suicide, and perspectives of both being a teenager and an adult. This song specifically is about those moments of regret we all have about our youth, stupid... (Read More)

Demo #3

November 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Here's Demo #3 for the week. Silver Noose was actually the very first song I wrote for this new record and the one that sorta kicked the whole thing off. The lyrics are basically nonsense, I was having nightmares about hanging myself in the pine tree... (Read More)

Los Angeles Monster Demo

November 5th - via: kickstarter.com
Sort of a vague song about vapid sycophants, empty husks of people that wander around LA and call themselves human beings. They aren't. Not really finalized with the lyrics or song title, just more reference so I know what song it is, these 99% of... (Read More)

I'm going to start sharing one demo a day this week in updates, so here's Demo 1 - "Everything, Nothing".

November 4th - via: kickstarter.com
Thanks so much so far to everyone who's donated. I've decided to share one demo a day and a little story about it if it's interesting. One caveat, if you know anything about demos (especially mine) they are imperfect and far from final do keep that... (Read More)

I've added more demos to Soundcloud!

November 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Hey Dudes and Dudettes, Thanks for the money we've raised so fat, but we are a LONG way off still. I've added more songs to the sound cloud and inserted a player here on the page. Maybe if you get a fuller picture of what's coming, it'll help. I'm... (Read More)
