Based on actual events.

Travel back with us to 1962…the Place, the shores of the River Mersey. Umbrella Book is a song about a book….eh, I’m not gonna explain it to y’all. Slap on a pair of drainies and some Italian heeled boots and you’re on your way to some nostalgic…

Hey gang! It’s us again, The Proods…though there are rumblings in the band that we may be changing our name. Here’s another track by Brian…channeling his inner Ozzy once again. It was fun working on this, though I prefer the OTHER 1960’s style…

Yes…we’re TRYING to do an AC~DC thing here. The song was written by our lovable drummer Matt, but we all had fun working on it. (The Angus-style guitar lick was mine.) As always, the song is introduced to the band, kicked around and recorded…

Brian's songs are so unique, he really is on another level.... They're deep, soulful and fun to jam to. This version has the full coda.😃

-Mrs. Groovy Sunshine- Lyrics… As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room and your record player fails to chase away your gloom I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…

-We’re Full Blooded USAnaian- Lyrics… I come from a place called “Amereeca” Naw, you don’t come from “Amereeca” I come from a place called “Amereeca” Naw, you don’t come from “Amereeca” You come from Usa You come from Usa You come from…

Ok, I know that it appears that The Proods have been posting so grim music of late, but this song started out as an homage to one of the Lady-Proods, and just kinda got away from us. More stuff following….bright, chipper love songs.

We haven't been this excited about a track in a while. Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!

Summer of Fun is a new song by guest bassist, Steve. He writes about the sadness…loneliness. …I guess.

This is a Prood classic that we've dusted off.

You Are Free....a fun tune from Prood jam session

I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get. I like to imagine…

Have you ever felt like it was YOU who were the problem? If you haven't, then you're missing out on one of the purest forms of self loathing that humanity has to offer. This is dedicated to the fine soul who actually did find something lovable…

"I Won't Kiss You Goodbye" may sound like another crybaby break-up song, but we wrote it after I got fired/quit from a career I'd spent too many years at. It's fun listening to the words with that in mind.

Back again with another track, hoping to put it all out there before the end. The Lying Dog is written by our drummer Matt, who insists he didn't have any particular person in mind when he wrote it. Please to enjoy.

Another groovy tack from the Proods. Chad the Bad is the name of a terrible monster movie we shot back in ourMass Art days. It's been kicking around for too many years, so we're finally putting it out there, hoping you enjoy it more than my fellow…

This song is based on the account of a friend, who had a drunken fling with a stranger at a party and regretted it BEFORE she sobered up. The title is a reference to the 1986 movie River's Edge, and the character played by Danyi Deats. lyrics…

The Proods have too many unfinished songs in the hopper...so much going on, but this is something we worked on years ago. I remixed it and finally think it might be passable.

It's been a while... This song was recorded with another verse, it ties the song together nicely but who the heck wants to listen to a 5 minute song about depressing stuff? We're really looking forward to feedback from those of you who've like…
