"Music packed with pop punk energy" Play (Anchorage Daily News)

Hanging by a Moment/Wake Up O Sleeper

The Past:

Andy Ball has [literally] been making noise around the Alaskan music scene for almost a decade going back to 1999 with the band he co-founded, Shurmen Steadfast. In a 4 year span, his music career went from three chord pop punk phenomenon to a 5 chord pop punk phenomenon. Here are the stats from 1999-2003.

3 EP's
2 Full Length CD's
5,000+ Record Sales
2 tours
7 States Rocked
1 Broken Guitar
40+ Songs Written
1 Record Deal

The Present:

Currently Andy is in his South Anchorage Home Studio calling upon the wonders of his IMac G5 to create the next step in his rock and roll legacy with two projects slated for release in 2007. First off the production line will be a 5 song EP with three acoustic tracks, and the first two singles from the upcoming solo debut Album this fall. Also in the works is the mentioned full length album rumored to showcase over 17 songs Andy has written since his last release with Shurmen Steadfast.

The Future:

The remainder of 2007 is stacking up to be a busy, and rewarding year for Andy as he is looking forward to release 2 albums and adding band members to once again rock the state with a rad live show.

Be sure to get your hands on both the EP and Full Length album's, even if you have to burn a copy from your neighbor. In the upcoming weeks, check back here for more information on release dates, free downloads etc.

Phaedra
By (H+) M.S.G. (the Amara Sessions)

Your smile still finds us smiling back at you
With eggshells behind
We find ourselves meeting your eyes in time
To catch the tears there
Were you staring at the sun,
Remembering?

Pulling yourself behind a wall of words
To feel protected
Like in a room of moans where no one goes
Queen of what you know
Your friends begin to question
The places you go

Do you feel the pain when you know you can’t win,
But still have to try?
Playing games that seem inconsequential
Later biting you
Needing to sacrifice
Lamb turned hero

Better than all the others in your wake
Put them in their place
They would dare to match what they think you have
And prove themselves wrong
You seem to be this race’s golden one
They won’t soon forget

Was your first choice the wrong one to be made?
His first choice worried
And maybe she knew better than he did
When he made his choice
Each one still passed the other
With no questions

One went ahead where the other faltered
Seeing how you glowed
Everyone guessed together you were whole
A better ending
Than what happened for you both in the end
A nightmare for some

We could not believe our eyes
The way you shone
Leading us to places we could never go
Our hero again
Your stars a map in the night
A path for us

And took us places they feared our footsteps
Our calls were echoes
When the fighting stole our breath
None left behind
We had you, and they knew their lives would end
Their words would be choked
Um...Samantha[eltt]

Hey you, Happy Birthday, birthday boy. I dig the vibe on "I Think We're Alone Now" it's kind of a soft punk vibe, it's cute. As for 25, that's not old at all lol...that's like saying 21 is old (that's how old I am) haha ;P...what kind of strings do you use?
sayyes.

Gemini
By (H+) M.S.G. (from the Archives)

We were being and knowing
That two were one, and we were three
In twelve sided cosmos, drifting by
I wasn’t seeing I was feeling
And wasn’t being, doing, two were one
And when I looked to it
Nothing but the corner of my eye
Then we were three, and being
Being and doing
I hadn’t known that two were one
We were that same one, and being
When I know, I feel
I see that two were one
We were three and being
Drifted through twelve sides
And we were being
Knowing that two were one
And falling there on clouds like stars
We were three and known
We were one, I don’t know
I was being, doing, but I knew
That two were one
And clouds flow down
Drifting, we know, and see
Doing, and knowing we were three
And knowing two were one
That two were one.
