One guy sitting alone and lonely in Third Bedroom Studios, waiting for inspiration and praying for a good take.

This is a place to put some original music I've been working on.
I'm working on arrangements, recording techniques, demos, and that's what you're hearing here.
The tunes need work, and as I revise parts (like, hit pitch with the vocals), I'll repost the songs.

No Alternative (US)

Old School San Francisco Punk Rock

One of the least known of the hardcore punk outfits tearing up the late-70s San Francisco music scene, No Alternative garnered a rabidly loyal local following during the band's too-brief history.

No Alternative's relative obscurity wasn't due to any lack of chops; if anything, the band's fast-and-furious aural assault and socially conscious lyrics sho...

Imagine the marijuana-damaged guitars of Queens of the Stone Age topped by the precision vocal harmonies of King's X and you'll be within spitt...
