Soapbox Theory is a creation that began in 2006. After graduating from college just this past year, I'm now spending most of my time in between other work continuously recording and doing my best to get my name out there, and what you're hearing now is some of the results of my work. All the mixing/production work is done using my laptop and I play all the instruments myself as well. As someone that has essentially been influenced by music since birth, and has become a huge fan of music in general, there's no way that I can really say who influences me. As such, my styles, much like my musical taste are quite varied and I try to just create something that is truly and uniquely, my very own.
Just shooting you over a reminder about the Horner park concert (2741 w montrose) series this friday june 10th. Ill be hitting the stage with Colin Gilmore and Mike Mangione at 7:00 pm. After party at the Lizard Lounge!
We have finally released our debut full length SHAPES! It is available online at Waterloo Records for only $6. 99 or on iTunes. Thanks for all of the support and we hope you enjoy!
Thanks for the kind comment. Sorry for the delay, but I've been putting the final touches on the debut record. It's up now on itunes and amazon (amiestreet, rhapsody, etc.) There are 2 sides: Sink and Fall. "Sink" is more pop and electronic; "Fall" is more punk and country. We appreciate all your support. Have a happy MWU year
Happy New Year !
