Tchildrin EP

The nu metal band Tchildrin was probably the first fake band I had an idea for, with a strong character for a vocalist roughly based on my teenage self. In fact the chorus for The Forever Anthem was written when I was 14 years old, but I never shared it with anyone until I was touring in my early 30s. It was a great idea of mine (if I don't say so myself) to have my bandmates chant the chorus with me every day in the van, to keep our spirits up and have extra fun for free.

When I visited Washington in 2022, I thought I'd record a lot of songs but that didn't happen. However in Olympia, the most obvious thing to do was record a song with the talented Pat Labahn. We recorded the forever anthem demo, with lead guitars and auxiliary percussion by Pat. He spent forever getting those parts so perfect. As for myself, I figured I'd rerecord all my parts at home to fit with the rest of the Tchildrin songs.

In the spring of 2023 I wrote and recorded the rest of the songs, for a split with Jeff Varner's Brundle Fly project. Like many splits, the other half didn't come together so I released this as its own EP. Jeremy Swindle played the guitar solo on Hammerface. Yes, I probably could've done my own solo but I thought it'd be more fun to have a friend in on it who has been living for rock and metal solos instead. There's no cassette for this release, but maybe some of the songs will go on a weird, limited compilation as something to sell on special ocassions.

In 2016 I was asked to play drums in a doom metal project with my friends Tommy and Jeremy. In 2017 we played a few shows and I did some vocals. In 2018, we got our friend Liv to do vocals, and we recorded this tape in my basement. It got a lot of good reviews, comparing us to great bands like Cirith Ungol, Candlemass, and Mercyful Fate. Since then, we've gotten our friend Anna to replace Liv on vocals, and once the world normalizes a bit more, we're going to get our next tape recorded.
