Bio:

Still trying to release the EP Being Human, I've finally found a distibutor. Seacoast Records will be helping me to get my EP out and ready to buy. Centering more towards online and radio as it is an EP and not a fullength album yet.

I'm taking a new approach at the recording side of things. Instead of going in, laying down some songs acoustic, and having the guys come in individually and lay tracks down, I realized pretty quickly I need to be doing this with everyone at the same time. As planned, it works FAR better and you get a more live sound, which is what I've always really wanted to have. I alwasy seemed to forget about that because I primarily never played with a band when I recorded. A bad habit for me I hope I've quit.

Bill Furlong and I have been working on ideas for how this thing should look. I'm hoping to have three good themes we can use as a main cover. I want something different for each the EP, Full CD, and what you see if you order it online.

I don't expect anyone cares a whole ton about this side of things, but sometimes I read little insight pieces like this about something I liked and I figured if I was lucky enough for some people to like the CD, maybe they'd like seeing this too.
