Released in 2013, this was a pretty fun tape to make. It's a collection of mostly instrumentals to provide background music for my first completed computer game, Stone Wings. The game is playable, but I wouldn't recommend it. However, I think the soundtrack is worth hearing. I used a yamaha 4-track to, for the first time, record my drums with 3 microphones. The guitars and bass were recorded into my computer, through a boss gt-50 pedal. There are also some keyboards and flute things. The tape was dubbed at home, onto some tapes I think I found somewhere. They sound fine. The O-Cards were printed with my Brother lazer jet, in the cheapest (punkest) way possible.

With the sadness of Punishing the Faithful behind me, I moved back to Saint Augustine and played the most prestigious show of my career, 2012's plan-it-x fest. In my own life, for the first time, I was able to make the money I needed to buy better gear. I was feeling very positive about the world, and my life in it. With my first drum kit in tow, I recorded this tape, meant to save the world with radical punk idealism. Written and recorded in 2012, this tape was released in 2013 on my friend Chris Eugene's tape label, Ghost Friend Records. I don't know if it's still a thing or not.

Released in 2012, I recorded these songs in my parents' basement in Jacksonville, IL. It's my first solo black metal album. Not all the lyrics are about metal things, like they probably should have been. Instead most were about punk things, and doing the punk thing. I hope it sounds nasty and punk enough for you.

After a while, living on the bottom didn't just make me angry. It made me sad. So Punishing the Faithful is more sad and serious, at odds with the society who I felt rejected me. Was it too much to want a room with a complete floor and an air conditioner? In desperation, I moved back into my parents' house and recorded this album. I used a lot of midi drums, since I wasn't allowed to have real drums at my parents' house. Living in Illinois, I had hopes of reconnecting with my old 'fans' by further exploring my emo roots. So if you like Emo, this is the tape for you.

Super Famicom split with Noah Eagle

In the summer of 2011, Noah and I had been housemates for a year. He's one of my best pals, and I've always intended to support his musical endeavors. I don't know whose idea it was to do a split, but I was down. In fact, I needed to be doing more splits. At the time I was doing a lot of loud singing and loud screaming, and felt like I had a strong voice. Half my tracks on this are serious, and done with acoustic guitar. The others are weird and heavy, including a powerviolence song about my friend Garrett Oliver getting his drivers license. Justine did the cover art.

The Bottom by Super Famicom

This is Super Famicom's punk album, and I was sick of everyone's crap. I 2011, I'd been living on the bottom for a good four years. I wrote some songs that I thought were funny, at the expense of a world I didn't like. It seemed like a lot of punks liked this album, and thought it was cool. It felt pretty neat while it lasted. You may have noticed how this album has two covers, one is on the far right of the above image. I don't know why I haven't used two covers for an album in the future, since I thought it was pretty cool, to do one just as a Fuck You to whomever isn't punk enough for me.

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.

Whatever by The GAZE

In 2010, the Winslows stopped playing together, and I pondered the idea of starting another pop punk band. I had song ideas that were riff-oriented, and wouldn't work with other groups I was playing in. Jaclyn moved to town from chicago and came by, at the advice of her boyfriend Josh. She'd heard I was the guy to talk to if she wanted to play in a local band. So we jammed, and she played really fast, and it was awesome. We got Garrett to play bass. I wanted to write songs that were really dark, while also being poppy. For months, I wore gym shorts, and the Gaze practiced like every day. I thought we were going to get huge, but eventually Jaclyn moved back to Chicago and I got busy with other stuff. These songs were recorded and mixed on Wilson's laptop, with cubase. I always wanted to try to do a better mix, with more familiar software, or at least get it less 'loud'. We also always played the songs more fast than good. I guess there's something admirable about that.
