Hmmm… Gotta ask why they don’t have their own website, rather than using Myspace, etc.. It’s a good step for a young band to take, getting their own site gives them a more established and professional look
Listening to “Speed” right now, from the Myspace – the keyboard and guitar complement each other nicely for the first minute. He’s definitely got an intensity going that makes his work as good as its title. I’m getting a suspicion that I’d probably want to hear more in terms of dynamics, but he is a self-described one man jam band, and this is good.
Now I’m listening to “Less than Nothing” – a lot of good musical ideas, and the jazzy feel doesn’t seem contrived. Put his site on stumbleupon; hope you’ll keep us updated as his work progresses.
