Wasted
Wasted, my second song for FAWM, follows along with my theme I’m working on and is an attempt to nail down both the lyrical style and the studio structure so that writing the next 12 songs will just flow. I … Continue reading
Just Three Minutes
This song is sort of a departure from the genre and feel I’ve been going for, but it’s fun enough that I’m not worrying about being 100% period accurate.

By the time I left the church they were able to play anything I threw at them… as long as it sounded like punk. Continue reading
