In 2014, Dildozer made a full-length with some new songs and some old songs, and a new bass player/backup vocalist. Our album cover wasn't loved by all, and that's okay. I always thought punk music was supposed to annoy everyone who doesn't 'get it'. We were before the phase when punk bands were instead trying to write songs in display of their niceness and general caring about pretty much anything. Who has time for that? I suspect Dildozer might have been kicked out of Punk if we'd stuck around. But what do you call this music if it's not punk? It's opinionated. It's catchy. It's mean. It was recorded in the non-climate controlled storage unit where we practiced all year round, in hot hot saint augustine. Dawson played my squier J-Bass, which wasn't set-up for standard tuning, so I autotuned it. On Youtube, you'll hear my newer mix of these tracks, but on the tape and on bandcamp you'll hear the nasty nasty original mix. These tapes were professionally duplicated, imprinted, j-carded, and cased. I would highly recommend buying a box to fill your closet instead of mine.

In 2013 I was still setting up punk shows, and needed a punk band to play those shows. So I started Dildozer with Westley and Treymon. The idea was to, while acknowledging the rules of political correctness, proceed to make the meanest, nastiest, snottiest pop punk music. I wanted to make music like Carcass, but pop punk. The thing about political correctness is that, the rules of being correct are always changing. So I doubt all of these songs are very p.c. anymore. By the time you read this, it might in fact be very wrong to shame people for breaking their phones or using good hygene. Oh well. These tapes were duplicated and imprinted professionally, and packaged in sleeves I printed at home.

Stiff Bindles Demo

This is a weird cd I played on. Stiff Bindles was my favorite local band, and their members were my best friends. In 2010, they went on tour with The GAZE. For a while, I was borrowing a broken four track recorder from my friend Nick. It was the kind that let you record on four separate tracks at the same time, which was a huge plus. However, I only had two functioning microphones. So we recorded this with two mics. The band wasn't getting along with their bass player, so I played bass on it. I don't remember what bass it was, but I know it sounded pretty bad. It was really cool that they let me do the art, though. Later they made a tape that sounds better than this, and the only art on it was their band logo, and I still get ideas for album arts they could have had if only they'd asked me.
