The songs here were recorded with my band from the mid-90s (yours truly, guitar and lead vocals; John Yates, bass and vocals; Greg Skaff, guitar; Brian Doherty, drums and vocals). We played out as The Results. The 12-song CD we made, Darlings of Oblivion, I put out under my then stage name, William Bern.
I have a whole new set of originals that I do these days. The recordings will be out very soon!
