Music Archive 1: Some Dusty Songs From the Music Vault

I've been making music for a long time now and last year I released my first 'real' CD under the name, I/O\I. Outside of that, I literally have hours and boxes full of other music that I've recorded either by myself or with bands over the years that've never been released in any fashion. So I went digging and found some stuff that I can post on this ever growing media dump that is called my blog. Keep in mind that this stuff is rough and was never finished properly, and as a result will always just be 'demo' or 'B' quality recordings that will only ever be good enough to be posted in very edited snippets on this here site of mine.

All of these short samples were recorded in the spring of '96 at FTM Studios in Denver with my buddies; Shawn on drums and Gabe on bass, with me doing everything else. The whole thing was hastily put together because another friend, Scott, was doing an internship at FTM, and he needed a band to record as a practice project, so he called us and we said, "uh, Hell Yes!" And I say 'hastily' because we didn't have a singer and no one knew one, so the shy guitar player (me) got pushed into doing it. Trust me, it's for your benefit that I edited most of my singing out because your screen might break.
