Modern Guilt

So over the course of last winter thru spring and into summer I got together with an old friend and a few new ones. We started working on what eventually became this EP.

It feels good to finally get new music out there. Its been just shy of 4 years since The Fortune Healers recorded the "Hey Providence" EP. Though we had written and been playing new material since then. None of it was actually recorded and released. The Fortune Healers also as of now are broken up. I am sure it will possibly continue on one day but whether I will be drumming in it I cannont say.

In the wake of the break up of one band comes new life from another. It's having its stress as you learn to work with new people but overall I feel really passionate about this current project. Its sort of coming together well in sound without much effort and I think we are making some really great songs. Finally I am getting to play a style of music I have always wanted to since I was 16 when I discovered what "emotional music" was and picked up some drum sticks.

If you dig mid 90s emo as well as 2000s era Vagrant Records mixed with early day Death Cab For Cutie and a tab bit of 90s alternative such as Nada Surf and Superdrag, you may just dig this. its up for FREE on our Band Camp page.

After recording 1 shitty demo in a hardcore band with some friends in 2004 and a handful of demos that were never released in various projects, I am finally in a functioning band that has a legitimate CD released! It would be my first not only written and recorded BUT mastered and packaged release on a record label! Its such a small thing that is going to go completely unnoticed but its still a pretty cool to me. You never know what can happen. Everyone starts small and this is just the beginning. Init Records is a great place for a start, TJ has known Steve for a while and I personally own releases from Init. When I was 16 buying Spirit of Versailles 7 inches I would have never thought that 10 years later I would be in a band that would have a release on that same label.

July marks a year that I have been doing The Fortune Healers. I've enjoying my time in this band writing rock n roll songs with my friends. Doing even the small things that we do. Pretty much anything that happens is an accomplishment. We've been lucky enough to be playing locally 1 to 2 times a month and its good to finally be able to play for/with friends considering a lot of friends have yet to even see me play drums or hear what I've been doing. Last week we made friends with a NYC band called Tidal Arms who are cool ass dudes and dug us real hard which is awesome as hell. We hope to get to NYC to play with them in the future. People seem to be digging it when they can catch a show so it makes me happy to know people are liking what I'm doing and to see how much I kill it behind a drum kit (beeep beeep).

The ball has started rolling and who knows what can happen. I'm excited to start writing more music for a full length, which will also be a first and we also plan to release a 7" sometime soon. I cannot wait to track for that. Its going to feature a song we play out but have yet to record thats one of my favorites thus far.

Until then you can grab our EP HERE in the INIT Records webstore for only $3!
