My name is Josiah Tobin. These are my sounds. I like pretentiously concise sentences.
I play guitar in the Nanaimo-based indie rock band Perfect Sound For Now, who I also produce and program the drums for. I occasionally do recording/mixing work for independent artists, in addition to composing soundtracks for the occasional independent PC game.
Swimfail is my ’solo’ musical project; I am the only member and it conforms to whatever style of music I feel like making at the time. As such, I don’t care much for consistency of style in my music.
well, that sounds nice. actually, things look really good in happy pineapple land: we're having a kind of restart, with a new singer (who doesn't live 400 miles away), a new rehearsal room and loads of motivation. we've even started pre-production for the next record.
things in evil machine country look great as well: the first parity boot album is about to be finished, and we're playing quite a lot of shows. it's good to see things grow and develop :)
hey there, just listening to the happily destroyed ep. nice thing! you're quite productive, aren't you? i'm already looking forward to the next album :)
Hope your all keeping well. We have entered a competition on Japan's NHK television channal called Paphooo!

And thats it! The support would be really appreciated. Lots of Love Unshin XXX
