Guess the earthquake was super local to me

It felt more mild to me then previous ones, but I do think they all have a "boom" quality.

Yes. Official sources are always slow to report this stuff. I wonder if the epicenter is in Jersey again.

I'm a cool guy. My Dillinger Four hoodie is covered in baby drool. I need to vacuum my house before band practice tomorrow.

It's somehow worse now because they'd pitch Frankenstein as a monthly subscription service

Though I almost never play bowling alleys anymore. I played in an art gallery that used to be a bank last year. Didn't get to play in the vault, though.

Dirt Handsome Vol. 1, by Bobby Edge 5 track album

My buddy Bobby Edge has a new ep of Beach Boys inspired pop punk. I sing harmonies and gang vocals on track 2 which is about the convenience store Wawa.

Reasons to Leave, by Eli Whitney & The Sound Machine 13 track album

Before Cold Wrecks we all played in a ska punk band called Eli Whitney & The Sound Machine (horrible name but that's part of the genre) and I'm proud of this album. The producer went on to play in NOFX and work for Travis Barker.

Sadly, Yes, by Craig Shay 5 track album

I put a lot of work into this solo EP when I didn't know my bands would be as active. I'd always rather play in a band than solo. Hanging out with buds is a big part of it to me. I made hot sauce as merch but sold very little.

Bad Luck, by Answering Machine 10 track album

I earnestly don't know if Answering Machine will play again but we're all still friends and I'm really proud of this record. You can buy it from Wiretap Records or just take one from my house. The vinyl is pink. It's like Stevie Nicks in Alkaline Trio.

The Wave, by James Dean & The Village Green 10 track album

I played in a band called Answering Machine that was kind of an intersection of pop punk and rock n roll. We're in different places geographically. I play on JD's record, I'd say it's for fans of Tom Petty and power pop in general. Solid songs.

The Duke Of Surl Designing high end recording studios by day... ...Recording in low end basements by night.

The Duke of Surl is an upstate rock n roll band with big 70s guitar solos and a Farfisa organ. I play on Boreno Live and recorded for a song for the next LP to tape in a basement.

FFO Sabbath and heavy tube amps

Can't Remember Your Name, by We're In Our 30s track by We're In Our 30s

I have a joke two piece band called We're In Our 30s and aside from writing songs about not being able to remember names or doing chores when you're sick the point of this band is for me and Elio to hang out

I was going for a Banner Pilot thing here

Cold Wrecks Cold Wrecks deliver catharsis with a delirious grin, with frantic songs about growing, coping, freaking out, and learning. The band is the result of far-too-long-lasting friendships, and their top priority is to just, like, make sure everyone is having a nice/safe/affirming/fun time, you know?

My main band is Cold Wrecks, most of us have been playing together since high school, we put out 2 singles this year and we just sent LP3 off for mastering. We're like The Weakerthans meets The Lawrence Arms.

Maybe I'll stop releasing music more broadly but I'll keep sharing new material with my friend Andy

when Nickelodeon bought the building next door and expanded the studio in Burbank, they placed quotes from former creators around the campus.

This one from my all time favorite Nick show The Adventures of Pete and Pete is like the blueprint I strive for in my own writing.

I'm getting highly offended by posts celebrating the 30th anniversary of movies that came out in the 90s, which was only 10 years ago.
