What the hell?!?
New music from GJ himself?!? Leaving
Atlanta was on heavy rotation when it came out and still gets the love.
Wild Honey unearths two more tracks from the Leaving Atlanta sessions and graces the world with their presence.
The rumor goes GJ wrote 15-20 songs and only chose the best ones for Atlanta, but after hearing “Bryan” I
wonder. If you’re unfamiliar with Gentlemen Jesse, he is steeped deep in ‘70’s
American power pop, ‘60’s British Invasion and ‘50’s rock n’ roll and blends
all of them effortlessly. For a few years, this ex-Carbonas man helped ruled the
power pop world and was a major player in getting Atlanta known on the map as the
musical force that it is right now. – Ed Stuart
Only On Weekends – Another Wasted Night LP(Self
Release)
Only On Weekends
shoots straight for your pop-punk loving heart. Another Wasted Night leans to modern bands like the Menzingers
instead of The Queers driven model. The same guy who recorded a Menzingers LP
produced this LP. Only On Weekends, hailing from New Jersey, have enough hooks,
crunch and chorus to get the younger fans energized. – Ed Stuart
Young Rochelles – S/T LP(Sounds Rad)
I think it’s
safe that numerous bands in the pop-punk world worship the Ramones. I don’t
feel this statement will knock the Earth off its axis. After a few singles and
EP’s, The Young Rochelles have released their debut LP, S/T. The Young Rochelles, who share members with the New Rochelles,
are no different. They play an upbeat Ramones meets Queers meets Screeching
Weasel with some sugary ‘90’s pop-punk vocals. If you like your pop-punk to
give you cavities, Young Rochelles are your band. – Ed Stuart
Modern Needs is a project spawned by the devious mind of one Mr Vinnie Vacuum. He hires bloodthirsty mercenary musicians for his live gigs to help him bring to life the rousing lo-fi punk rave ups he creates himself in his secret laboratory. To get an
idea of the glorious noise these records emit: put on your favorite Crime record, play it at twice its speed backwards, now douse the whole thing in
gasoline and light it on fire. The sounds you hear sputtering and crackling in and out of your speakers right before you have to run out of the room is San Francisco's Modern Needs.
Interview
by J Castro
Tell me what band or
musician first inspired you to want to play an instrument and write your own
music?
VINNIE VACUUM: Music has always been in my life and I
had played in small, kinda crummy but fun bands when I was a kid, all through
my teen years. I grew up around rock music and was exposed to a lot of that at
an early age classic rock stuff and alternative and whatnot. I started playing
because I thought it was cool. It wasn’t until I really discovered punk rock
when I was in middle school that I really got inspired and found my own music
as it were. I’d been exposed to it sort of before that (Ramones, Devo, etc.)
through my parents, but I dove deep into it, getting into hardcore and all of
that when I was around 12 or 13.
You’ve been writing,
recording and performing on your releases for a couple of years now. In your opinion, what are the pros and cons
of doing this as opposed to working/collaborating with a band?
VINNIE:I don’t have to wait
around for anybody to finish a song or rehearse something (unless it’s in a
live setting) or record or get input. I can just go for it, and fully execute
my vision the way I wanna do it without being outnumbered or anything, which is
great for me because I often have trouble deciding what kind of sound I wanna
go for. Every song is different. For the creative process, I only see pros, and
I’ve learned how to record with minimal equipment and make it sound good. If it
sounds good to me, that’s all that counts, and I don’t really give much of a
shit about criticism. I’ve already done more with this project than I have with
previous ones, because I’m doing it almost completely by myself. As for playing
shows, it’s often difficult to get people to play with me since they really
don’t have any input, they’re just there to play, and I try to make it fun for
them, like with the last group of guys to play with me, it was really fun and
we had a good dynamic configuring how things would work in a live setting, and
sometimes it’s fun to absolve yourself of a lot of responsibilities and just
play for the sake of playing.
You are currently
living in the Bay Area, I know there is so much going on there musically. Are there any other current and active bands
that you’re into from there?
VINNIE: That’s interesting because most of my
friends in San Francisco are more associated with the indie rock scene, whereas
I’ve always been more drawn to the punk rock/rock n roll scene, but I still
support them because it’s a really good feeling to have friends that are being
productive in doing creative things, and that are playing in bands and
exhibiting their talent. And I like the fact that I’m kind of a misfit among
that crowd musically, because I think it adds variety. If SF were nothing but
indie rock, I would’ve stayed away from here. But on the more indie/shoegaze
end of the spectrum, I have friends in the bands Plush and Pardoner, and
they’re incredibly talented, great folks and are doing well around here. As far
as the punk scene goes, obviously Life Stinks are great, and Useless Eaters are
in SF and they were a big influence on me. Scraper is also really good.
However, I think Oakland has become more of the punk rock mecca in the Bay Area
because SF has become pretty ridiculously expensive thanks to the tech boom (and
Oakland isn’t getting any cheaper either). But Oakland/East Bay has some killer
bands like Violence Creeps and Rays. Lots of things are happening.
Like I was saying
before, you’ve been writing and recording your own music for a few years as
Modern Needs and you seem quite prolific.
I was watching the Jay Reatard documentary Better Than Something and he said he felt like there is only a
short creative window that people have in their lives and that he was trying to
record and put out as much music as he could before that window shuts. What do you think about that, do you think
there is any truth to that?
VINNIE: I can only speak for myself but I wouldn’t
say that’s true in my case. I’ve always done creative things, and that’s only
increased as I’ve gotten older. I guess there are variables to that as well
like how many creative things that you do. You can feel empty and spent of
creativity in one area but thrive in the next. I could understand what he meant
because I think there’s a certain anxiety involved with a lot of that, but I
never felt like it was a race against time.
Activation b/w Low Life 7" released June, 2015 Goodbye Boozy Records
You just released an EP
on Goodbye Boozy Records, “Activation” b/w “Low Life”, can you tell me a bit
about this record and how did you hook up with the folks at Goodbye Boozy?
VINNIE: I guess things kinda snowballed after a
blog in Canada put up one of my Bandcamp albums and word got around. Gabriele
from Goodbye Boozy messaged me asking if I had any new songs, and this was
right after I’d finished recording “Born Defective” the tape that I decided I
was gonna release myself. I told him if I had some new ones I’d send them to
him. He told me he wanted to do a 7” and I said okay because I liked some of the
records he’d put out. I’d never done any official physical releases before that
(except the tape which I was doing around that time) because for one, I didn’t
really care enough to. I can appreciate records as objects, but it made no
difference to me because it’s just sound, and in the collector heavy world of
punk/garage/whatever, I guess I wanted to subvert the idea of analog purism and
collector fetishism, but also I didn’t really know how to have someone put out
my record and didn’t feel like waiting around for someone to put a record out
for me and I didn’t wanna spend a ton of money either. But I decided to do the
tape as an evolvement of that and lots of punk bands are doing cassettes now,
so I kinda said, “fuck it” and did it. And now I have a record out and it’s
cool, but I always have a lot of ideas floating around that I feel like I have
to get out, so putting out stuff the moment it’s done online is convenient for
that. To me, a new release is a new release regardless of the medium. It’s cool
that people like what I’m doing, but I don’t care enough to get cred from the
old punk/rock n roll record collector geeks of the world even though I can
appreciate it. I’m just surprised anybody’s even interested in what I’m doing
at all.
You also record dark
ambient music under the Vinnie Vacuum name, how did you get into this type of
music? Have you heard Alex Cuervo from the Hex Dispensers other project
Espectrostatic? Great stuff, I think
you’ll dig it a lot!
VINNIE: I’ve never heard of that one, so I’ll have
to check it out. I guess it stemmed from me always liking weird/off kilter
shit. What really inspired me to start doing noise/ambient music/sound art was
my buddy Andrew, who also played bass in the live version of Modern Needs. He
did a sound collage under the name Kuririn, and I thought it was incredible
that someone could string together all these sounds and make it work
sequentially and in terms of the atmosphere. So after that, I decided I wanted
to do more abstract stuff on the side as an outlet. I started fooling around on
my synth and did a piece that I put online. Then I started doing sound collages,
which is really fun. I love making collages be they audio or visual. And then I
did a couple of drone pieces, and I’m looking forward to doing more
noise-oriented things. It’s fun to fuck around with that shit. I guess it’s
also an attempt to alienate punk rockers. Andrew and I did some pretty
self-indulgent noise experiments in my old house in Santa Cruz a few months
back, which may or may not see the light of day. I look at it as more like art
projects than anything official. In a way, you could also say Modern Needs is
more of an art project than a real band.
Born Defective Cassette released July 2015
What’s your favorite
record to listen to from start to finish?
If you can remember, tell me about the first time you heard it, where
you were and who introduced it to you?
VINNIE: There’s so many but a recent one that
comes to mind is “Esoteric Lore” by GG King. I discovered it when I was
probably 18 or so just from being a huge Carbonas fan and realizing that it was
Greg Carbona’s solo effort. I was really into it even though it sounded
drastically different from any Carbonas stuff. It’s definitely darker and
weirder and has a lot of different moods to it, but that’s why I love it. It’s
probably my favorite LP of the 2010’s so far.
If you were exiled to a
deserted island and were given (A) One food to eat for the rest of your life,
(B) One person to take with you, and (C) One artist’s discography to take with
you, what would these be?
Potatoes
Nobody
The Wipers
Where can people go or
log on to hear and buy your music?
VINNIE: Almost all of my releases can be found on
Bandcamp at modernneeds.bandcamp.com.

What lies in the near
future? Any touring or record releases
coming up?
VINNIE: I’m in a transitional period right now
having just moved to SF, so I’m kinda starting things over, trying to get
things together in my life. Hoping to get some folks together to play with me
and do some shows around the bay. No plans for touring for now but one day I
might decide to do a short one if I wanted to. I hate traveling. As for new
releases, I’m sure I’ll probably do some sort of new release in the near
future. As for the format, who knows? Maybe another tape or something, I don’t
know. Maybe I’ll get bored with Modern Needs and decide to do something else. I
have horrible anxiety so I’m not one to think about these things often because
if I do, I start to panic. My number one rule about doing this whole thing is
that I live up to absolutely no one’s expectations but my own.
Earlier this year Helsinki's Van Dammes sent us over their new EP.
Just by the name alone conjuring up images of old corn ball Jean Claude
flicks, you expect to hear music that somewhat goes along with that mental
picture. What this fiery Finnish foursome brought to my ears was
something totally unexpected though. They play loud garage punk that lays
on a bullet train of melodies! Van Dammes songs are built solid on a foundation
of guitar hooks, static fuzz, and old fashioned charm.
Interview by J Castro
Who’s in Van Dammes and what instruments does everyone play?
Markus: Van Dammes (not The Van
Dammes which apparently were a cover band from Chicago) consists of:
How did you all meet and decide to play music together?
Markus: Three of us used to play
in a same band for years, releasing three albums and playing 200 shows.
However, due to a lack of motivation with that band, this new band was formed.
Our fourth member, drummer Jussi, was a random choice since he had never even
touched drums before joining the band.
Juho: Jussi was also a very good
friend of ours already before joining the band. So when he said that he would
like to start playing drums in Van Dammes we didn't hesitate.
The VD EP released March 25, 2014
What band or musician first inspired you to want to pick up an instrument and
play in a band?
Markus: Pet Shop Boys.
Juho: Pet Shop Boys as well. Me
and Markus started our very first band together when we were like 10 years old
though we had no idea about how to play any instruments. The main thing was
just being in a band. Later on we of course had to figure out how to deal with
the instruments and get some music out of them.
You released your second EP Better Than
Sex earlier this year. Is this the sound you imagined having early on
or did the music go in a different direction once you all started playing
together?
Markus: In my opinion this is
really something what we wanted, the point is to have good songs sounding
slightly crappy.
And speaking of your sound; Bandjack.com described your sound as “ranging from
straight forward Ramones rock to super sleazy ‘80s sex rock”. I’m not
really sure what that means but do you agree with that description?
Markus: Well our very first single
Daniel was clearly inspired by the Ramones but I don't really know
what's the exact definition of the 80's sex rock is... but it sounds good so I
totally agree with that description.
Juho: Especially
"straight-forward" is a very good expression to describe the music of
Van Dammes.
Better Than Sex EP released February 26, 2015
Van Dammes are currently based in Helsinki, Finland. I notice you’ve
toured Finland quite extensively. Are people in Finland supportive of the type
of music you guys play?
Markus: At least people at the
venues we have visited have been very supportive. Generally speaking, all the
university cities are always receptive. Smaller places can be more challenging.
But I guess that's the same everywhere.
There have been a lot of bands speaking out against their audience members
using their cell phones during a performance. What are some of the
things you’ve seen people at your shows do that annoy or distract you when
you’re playing?
Markus: We are not easily
distracted.
Juho: The one specific occasion
which comes to my mind is that when we had a show exactly at the same time with
one of the quarter final matches of Fifa World Cup 2014. Some members of the
audience were simultaneously watching our live show and the match with their
phones. However, I understand this completely, and the good thing was that we
could ask the audience what was the score.
You guys have a few videos that you’ve made to accompany your songs. Tell
me about the video you made for the song “Vesna (Flash in the Night)”. Do
you guys enjoy the process of making videos?
Markus: The video for Vesna
(Flash in the Night) was shot in freezing Helsinki last January. It was a
nice and relaxed process because the directors were our friends. For our first
EP we made videos using old archive materials. That was also cool.
Juho: Shooting videos is very nice
but shooting videos outside in Finland in winter with some minus degrees is
perhaps not the nicest thing to imagine. Next time we should shoot a video in
the tropics.
You guys wrote a song about Noriaki Kasai, the award winning Japanese ski
jumper. Are you guys big fans of his and his sport?
Markus: We were all born in a town
called Lahti, which basically is the Mecca of ski jumping, so it was natural to
go to see that sports.
Juho: That's correct. We kind of
grew up under the influences of ski jumping. Mr. Noriaki Kasai is particularly
a very inspirational sportsman. He's 43 years old but still kicks the asses of
the guys who are like 25 years younger than him. Once I had an honor to meet
Mr. Kasai personally. He told me then that he will continue forever.
If you were exiled to a deserted island to live out the rest of your life there
but were allowed to take (A) One meal (B) One person and (C) One record with
you there, what would these be?
Markus: A good assortment of ice
creams, Noriaki Kasai, and Pulp's Different Class.
Juho: With the first two I agree.
I'd change Pulp for Jan Hammer's Miami Vice soundtrack collection album.
Where are the best places to go or log on to hear or buy your music?
Markus: Unfortunately the boring
places called Spotify and YouTube.
Juho: And to get things even more
boring, the recordings are also on iTunes.
Markus: I forgot that you can also
come and see us live. That you can do without logging on anywhere.
What lies in the near future for Van Dammes? Any recording or touring
news?
Markus: At the moment we are
fighting because we cannot decide whether to release an album or another EP
next. Anyway, the release of that recording will be early next year. We are
also planning to tour Europe more extensively than before.
Juho: We
are going to drink some beer and play punk rock as well.
Bruiser Queen are a fantastic two piece band based in St Louis MO which consist of Morgan Nusbaum on guitar/vocals and Jason Potter on the drums. They've been called "part Riot Grrrl and part Art Rock" which sounds pretty spot on to me. Morgan recently took some time out to gab a bit with us about their terrific LP Sweet Static, her musical influences, and waffles! Interview
by J Castro
Tell me about how you
two met and decided to play music together?
MORGAN:
We were in different bands in the same scene. Jason was in Left Arm and I was
in The 75s. I was a bassist then and just started dabbling in electric guitar.
Left Arm’s guitar player was heading off to law school and Jason asked me to
fill in for a Ramones cover set. It was a blast and we decided to keep at it.
Can you remember early
on, what band or musician first influenced you to want to pick up an instrument
and want to learn to play/write music?
MORGAN:
I would say Hole’s album Live Through
This really changed my life, but Heart’s Dreamboat Annie probably planted the seed early on.
How would you describe
Bruiser Queen’s “sound” to someone that’s never heard your music before?
MORGAN:
60’s girl group meets 90’s riot girl.
When you started playing
together, did you have a particular sound/direction in mind for Bruiser Queen
or did the music kind of take on a life and direction of its own after you started
playing together?
MORGAN:
You know what we actually did have a vibe in mind. Jason was into garage rock and
I was stuck on early post hardcore. So when we started hanging out he was
introducing me to all this amazing music and I was majorly inspired. I feel
like our sound gets better all the time as we hone in on our strength in song
writing and as my guitar playing improves.

Your new LP Sweet Static came out in October of last
year, can you tell us a bit about it?
MORGAN:
In Sweet Static we tried to show a little bit more variety of songwriting. Our
previous releases were on the bashers side. Songs like “Tiny Heart Attack”, “Girl
Like Me” and “Some Girl’s Ghost” are definitely a departure from those punk
leanings. We went into the recording process with a focus on the songs and
songwriting. I played bass, organ and even a deeply mixed acoustic guitar on
most tracks. 2012’s LP Swears was the
opposite. We went in specifically looking for a recording that sounded exactly
what we were live. With Sweet Static
we weren’t worried about trying to translate the songs live the same as the
record. I imagine future records will be tackled the same way. The process was
so rewarding and freeing to not have to worry about the live schematics of
being a two-piece.
Bruiser Queen - Sweet Static CD 2014
Can you recall the most
bizarre person or event that inspired a song of out you? Is there any topic you try and steer clear
from in your song lyrics?
MORGAN:
I write about pretty much anything. I have songs about my childhood home,
romance, bands staying at my house, ghosts, aliens, catch phrases my friends
say, age, movies, wolves, sunny days, rainy days, family, global warming,
gender stereotypes… The list goes on.
Bruiser Queen is
currently based in St Louis, MO. What’s
it like playing shows out there, is there a supportive crowd that gets what you
guys are doing musically?
MORGAN:
I would say we have a very supportive STL fan base. We keep things weird at local
shows. We’ll do crazy things like holiday themes (The 12 Bassists Of Christmas,
For All The Hunnies Valentine’s Day Show) or we’ve even done an evening with
Bruiser Queen where we do a mix of acoustic songs, new songs, old fan faves and
covers; just us for 3 sets.
You cover the Lost
Sound’s track “Black Coats White Fear”, did Alicja Trout and Jay Reatard’s
music have a big influence on Bruiser Queen?
MORGAN:
Jason was a huge fan of Jay and his death came right around the time we first
started hanging out. So we listened to tons of his stuff. I fell madly in love
with River City Tanlines, which we had the pleasure of playing with once. So
I’ll say it had a significant influence, especially on my guitar playing.
In your band’s Facebook
page, you list “Waffles” under band interests.
Tell me about the best waffle you’ve had and where did this momentous
occasion take place?
MORGAN:
Go to MELT in St. Louis and get the Knockout waffle: chocolate with chocolate
chips and chocolate syrup. Comes with whipped cream but if you wanna be a real
American throw on a scoop of chocolate ice cream. BOOM.
What lies ahead in for
the band in the near future?
MORGAN:
We are working on tons of new songs and touring the US extensively in the next
year. Keep an eye out for new singles to be released in early 2016 and tour
dates around your town!
What are the best places
to go or log on to hear or buy your music?
MORGAN:
We absolutely love Bandcamp but we have music anywhere you buy music: Spotify,
Itunes, Google Music, CD Baby, you name it. Request us at your local record
store J
Keep up with the continuing adventures of Bruiser Queen on your favorite social media outlet!
The first time I heard Lisa Doll & the Rock n Roll Romance
they were opening up for my favorite local band Scorpion Vs Tarantula here in
Phoenix, AZ. They were a long way from their hometown of Baltimore, MD and
still they kept up with the mighty SVT, which if you don’t know, is no easy
thing to do. I immediately got the impression that this was not merely the name
of a band but lead singer/songwriter/gunslinger Lisa Marie Doll’s way of life. The
infatuation and passion she has for the music is evidenced in her songwriting. Threads
of traditional rock n’ roll themes, New York brash n’ trash and power pop flash
are all woven throughout her Neon Heat EP,
which came out a couple of years ago. Bands like Lisa Doll & the Rock n
Roll Romance don’t burn out or fade away they keep rock n’ roll alive out
there, somewhere until their dying day.
Interview
by J Castro
Let’s start out by telling me
who is currently in the band and how you all met and decided to play music
together:
LISA:
It’s my music with a backing band which tends to rotate different people
depending on their availability and life happenings. Not everyone is the
touring type and don’t realize that till they go on one. I hope to one day have
a consistent line up. Andrew has been involved since day one and the only one
who has continued to stick around. He plays drums on the recordings but has
been shifted around to bass and 2nd guitar depending on what’s needed live. We
met years ago, when I answered a bands’ Craigslist ad looking for “a guitarist
that’s into bands like The Cramps and 70’s style punk.” He was playing drums
for them. The band never played live much but it gave me the confidence to
perform my own music and when it disbanded I asked Andrew to join my Rock n
Roll Romance project.
Can you remember what band or
musician first inspired you to want to pick up an instrument and learn to play
and write music?
LISA:
When I was a preteen I was exposed to Green Day, Nirvana, Hole, and The
Ramones. From there I matured to really dig Rocket From the Crypt, The Pixies,
and The Marked Men and garage rock in general. The combination of all that and
many more bands is what got me really wanting to pick up my own guitar. All
these bands are very rhythm based in their guitar playing which is what I gravitate
towards. I really suck at playing lead live. It feels like a different part of
my brain has to clink in and out to do it.
The band did a video for the
song “Don’t Wanna Break Up” that’s off of your Neon Heat 7” on Chucks Records. From the looks of it, it seems like
it was fun to do.Can you tell me
a bit about your experiences making it?
LISA:
Like most bands our budget is $0 for music videos, so DIY was it. I wanted to
do a quirky but dark video kind of like Weekend at Bernie’s style. The
idea is I can’t accept the obvious end of my relationship to the extent where
my delusion involves me puppeteering his dead body about and even invoking the
powers of dark magic and the electricity of rock n’ roll to resurrect him.
Andrew and I took turns filming and setting things up and had lots of fun with
it.
The band is currently based
in Baltimore, MD. What is it like for a band like yours playing live out there?
Is there a supportive “scene” that gets what you’re doing musically?
LISA:
Baltimore is okay. I prefer to play out of town. I feel I get a better response
and comradery from out of state peers. There is a very small Baltimore scene
for rock n’ roll and garage punk and definitely some awesome people, but they
are all in bands themselves which doesn’t leave much for a crowd.
Lisa, tell me a bit about
your comic Free Candy, and how you
got started doing tattoo art:
LISA:
My comic Free Candy is totally on the back burner right now! I really hope to
start it up and make more issues. It’s difficult because it’s
semi-autobiographical and based on my experiences, misadventures, and people
I’ve met. I need an editor and someone to help me focus on where to go next.
I’ve been through a lot of craziness and I need a cathartic way to get it all
out. The comic kind of rubs people’s noses in their shit with a comedic angle.
It covers relationships, being in a band, and the pirate-like world of
tattooing.
I
started tattooing in 2011 and basically forced my way in. I took a lot of
tattoo seminars, and started working at the bottom at shops in bad areas where
I continued to learn what to do and NOT to do from co-workers. I wanted a
traditional apprenticeship but wasn’t able to get one, but I wasn’t going to
let that stop me. If you tell me “no” I’m just going to try harder.
Do you ever get tired of the
Ramones and Nikki Corvette comparisons? I’ve been reading some of the press
you’ve gotten and it seems most of them mention one or both of those. How would
you describe your band’s sound to someone that’s never heard you before?
LISA:
Yes, actually! Those are both amazing bands to be compared to don’t get me
wrong and when the first press said it, I was extremely flattered! But they
came out years ago so now when I see that comparison, it just means someone
didn’t do their homework and just gobbled up other reviews and then barfed them
back out. I think it’s just an easy thing for them to go to without having to
really take the time to listen and form their own opinion. Early on, Razorcake
mentioned my demo harked of Marked Men as an influence and I was super stoked
because to me that meant he was really
listening, more so then I think the average person would. He was able to sniff
out a buried affection that I didn’t think was obvious at all.
We’ve come to the segment of
the interview that I like to call “four questions I stole from other interviews.”
You may elaborate on the following four questions as much or as little as you
see fit. Let’s begin:
1.What’s the first concert you
attended without your parents?
LISA: A local community center show in my hometown with local high
school bands.
2.What’s the first band T-shirt
you ever wore?
LISA: Probably Marilyn Manson or Nirvana.
3.What was the first band
picture or band poster you had pinned up on your childhood bedroom wall?
LISA: I think Nirvana as well he, he.
4. Name the first record you picked out and purchased with your own
money:
LISA: Oh geez, I have no clue what the first one was. I believe it
was Green Day’s Dookie.
Where are the best places
that people can log on or go to hear or purchase you music?
What lies ahead in the near
future for Lisa Doll and The Rock n Roll Romance?
LISA:
I have been working on new music for the last couple months. I’m really excited
about the new stuff and can’t wait to get it out there! I’m hoping to attract
some label attention. We’ll be sure to go on tour again as well!
