You can check out my old band, I played Bass and was only 17 at the time of recording. I wrote a lot of the riffs & Shawn wrote about the same, if not more than I. We were together, playing live, for a little over two years as a whole....kinda messed up high-school for Brian and I, we were the only ones still in school during our recording.
I just found the recording after almost 14 years of being lost(I have moved a lot and lost contact with the other members), Brian, our drummer, was the only one I was able to get in contact with, thanks to the internet, that still has videos and copies of our CD. He's the only one of us still playing original music and doing quite well, he was..is an excellent drummer. This is the only time I ever got to actually record in somewhat of a studio...something that seemed like it would be my life turned into a one-time event...life's full of surprises.
We started to have internal problems in the band and lack of time for things, the bottom fell from under us before we even finished recording, Kurt, our original singer, left us hanging(personal problems) mid-way though recording, so we had Shawn replace Kurts vocals completely. We didn't get all the tracks we had intended, but we got 9 out of 15 or 16.
These songs were recorded in early-'95, we didn't stay together long after production was finished on the CD for quite a few reasons(too much to type right now) and I never really got into anything too serious since. I kinda lost my desire to pursue a full-time original band after I moved(a few weeks after recording). Since then..I've only done some minor gigs with some friends playing covers and a bit of home-recordings on some originals(Maybe I'll upload those someday). Lately, I don't even play much anymore, just focus on my job, girlfriend, and my gaming-hobby, although since finding these again, it kind of makes me wish I did things differently with my life...
I only uploaded a few of the songs out of the 10 on the CD, I'll add the rest when I get more time.
...This is the first thing I ever uploaded to YouTube, the quality is a little less than the CD-standard, but I guess that's normal with YouTube huh? Ignore the picture, I just put the first thing up that was in my pics. folder. I will make them slideshows with pics. of us when I get the time, I just don't have any uploaded on my PC yet.
