Lately I've been doing consults with developing artists who need guidance on:
- strategy & building a release plan
- figuring out their story
- brand / social feedback
It's dope. I get to help come up with strategy that makes sense for *each* band, not some generic best practice sorta advice bs.

If you don't have the answers, that's okay!
You're the expert on your art;
I'm the expert on the rest of that stuff. π

how is no one screaming from the rooftops that PETEY USA is one of the best songwriters out right now??
his new one βAnything In Betweenβ proves heβs much more than a scroll-stopping sketch comicββheβs a generational voice, somewhere between The Mountain Goats, Weezer, and TWY.

Sometime months after the first No Earbuds Fest, a friend told me they got stopped by a group of younger punks while wearing the official fest tee.
βYou were there?! Are they doing it again?,β they asked.
Well, this is for them and anyone whose ever had a big idea and just f*cking went for it...
