    Later, soon actually, I hope to add some mp3 sound clips of our songs. I don't have much space here at Geocities, so I may put one whole song or short clips of a couple songs or something. Some of this site may leak over into Nathan's site. He has plenty of room over there. Or maybe I'll just apply for another webpage and move it all there. Who knows. Anyway, here are some nifty info tidbits about us:

    Jarod currently attends WVU-P.Craig is now in the armed forces. We have four songs, "Bag", "Me vs. Mom", "Trip", and one other which is presently untitled. We are also working on "Up In Arms" by my favorite band, Foo Fighters and "Too Many Puppies" by Primus.

    Nathan is now attending Shepard College. Now, who knows what will happen to the band? Who cares? We're just doing this for fun. We don't expect a career out of it or anything. But, we will always have the tapes we've made. We'll probably just wind up jamming during breaks once we all go our separate ways. Kinda sad, huh? Oh well, like I said, we're doing this for fun.

    Anyway, here is a list of equipment we use. I don't know what good it will do you, but maybe we could impress some people. Who knows? Anyway, here goes:

  • Jarod uses an Ibanez RX-20 with Dean Markley Blue Steel strings, a Peavey Transtube 100W amp head with a 4x12 Peavey cabinet. He also uses an Alvarez 12-string with unknown strings because they were on there when he got it. He also uses a Shure Beta Green series microphone

  • Nathan uses a Fender Squire bass which he has dubbed "Sarah", and an unknown brand amp that we got for free. He also uses a Popular Mechanics microphone that we got at Wal-Mart for ten bucks and KY Jelly.

  • Craig used my and Nathan's drumsets combined in the pictures. Which was basically a Ludwig set I bought off of his brother and a CB floor tom from Nathan's set. The cymbals were a Zildjian Z-custom, crash-ride, and some other kind of Zildjian I can't remember, Sabian thin crash and ride, Paiste hi-hats, and Nathan's really thin hi-hat that came with his drumset with the top hat turned upside-down to sound like a china-type. It really worked too! The sticks were Easton Aheads size 2B, big mistakes, we should have used my personal favs, Vic Firth AMCs with wood tip. I hate it when the plastic tip flies off in the middle of a hardcore practice and puts your eye out. There was also a Tama Iron Cobra double bass pedal and Remo Pinstripe heads. Craig normally uses a Ludwig double bass set with Zildjian cymbals and Remo pinstripe heads, but he is not about to drag that thing home just to jam with us when we basically have the same stuff here. I have no idea what sticks he uses, so don't ask.

    • Well, that's about it. Don't look for us on tour this summer, we won't be there. More than likely we'll all have a job and practice in our spare time. Nathan is a great bassist that comes up with pretty interesting riffs that fit the moods of the songs quite well. Craig is also a killer drummer. I appreciate his playing with us very much. The purpose of these two outstanding musicians is to cover up my little guitar and singing ability. Originally I was a drummer, a huge Nirvana fan learneing the techniques of Dave Grohl and being giddy as a little school girl when I finally mastered "Scentless Apprentice", but then I picked up on playing guitar from other people in various bands I've been in. Then I jammed with Craig and Nathan one day and it was beautiful. I think our separate styles meld well together. Me from the grunge era, Nathan's love of classic rock, and Craig the metal-head all contribute our own styles to come up with a sound that we all enjoy. Thanks to the other members of my band and thank you to anyone who ever hears our music and enjoys it. So far I know of two people, and they both liked it, so maybe we're on to something. Okay. I've said enough. Thank you for your time. --
