February, March, April, May, all have completed album in a month projects. Here comes the first song from June. I broke my album-in-a-month challenge rule that says once you get a take you don't redo it. I did all of the rhythm guitars twice…

Driving South on a two lane interstate in Pennsylvania at 1:00am can be hazardous to your health. Just saying. The leads on this one used an actual amplifier instead of a headphone amp. My crybaby pedal needs to be cleaned, as you can hear.

This song is a bit of a mess, but I think I kinda like it. I have an unwritten rule during recording projects like this that I won't copy and paste sections of guitar tracks. If a song has two verses I will record the guitar parts for the verse…

May 2020 is the fourth straight month I've done an album in a month challenge (RPM Rules) and while I still have one more song in the pipeline, this one makes 10. Four months in a row... over 40 songs... probably a grand total of three riffs…

My song writing happy place is sort of slow to mid tempo dumb rockers. Something like 75-90 beats per minute. Every once in a while I feel the need to shake things up and write something super hyper active. This is an example of that. I also…

If ever there was a song that begged to close an album, it was this turkey. A couple of things here. First, I don't really know what I was going for. Quiet, slow, boring? Probably not boring, but there you go. The cool thing happens in…

I came dangerously close to calling this ABACAB, and also to having the song form be ABACAB. Bullet dodged? I was noodling out the bass line and drum parts on my iPad and I had three sections. I couldn't decide which one had the better hook…
