Music

I make tasty tunes

Five or six bands. Bunch of albums. Nice noise.

THE JOHN WILKES KISSING BOOTH

1999-2004 | AGRO ROMANTIC EMO
We really wanted to sound like the Blow Monkeys, at first. You hear it in Tailgunners Ballad on the EP, but then something happened when we made Motorcade and we went 80% aggro, 20% sweetie pie tunes and the live shows got wild. We signed to Velvet Blue and didn't see a dime, then for a little while with Tankfarm records. Now we own it.

Top Songs: Gogirl killswitch, Black Market Malaysia, Most Hated Love Song, The Union Rides Again, Adio Miss November, Kiss of the Starving class, Sirens

SPRING HILL SPIDER PARTY

2011-2013 | EXPERIMENTAL / ART ROCK
This is where things got weird. No rules. Just noise and feeling. Amanda Valentine, Travis Tohill, Lil benny, Jonathon Morrel, Phil Murrel, Bobby Holland, Joshy, Me and a deep hatred for Rascal Flatts. Our first ep was called guitars are dumb and it is lost. The earlier version of this band was called Glockenspiel in the LBC with Tony Howze and Tatiana Simonian, but those versions of the songs were tooooo insane.
