"Deception" is the debut single from our forthcoming album (yet to be named). This song also holds the distinction of being the first-ever release by the Studio. Unleased on June 28th 2023, this tune serves as a milestone for the joint kickoffs of Audio Graffiti Studios & Society!
​
Deception was written as an Orwellian-esque warning concerning all the attacks taking place in the the US today related to cancel culture, and attempts being made to stifle the 1st and 2nd amendments. Having the 1st single release be one that's politically charged was unintentional, but as any creator knows...we don't always control how/when inspiration strikes. 

​This song also features the use of totally synthetic vocals, produced through an advanced A.I. program we've become highly proficient at driving. We're interested to see if anyone is able to tell that the vocals are not "real human" (so far our beta-listeners have all been fooled). This is bound to create a stir, especially considering the vocal tone/style is very reminiscent of a world-famous English rocker named, Oswald. The A.I. artist goes by the name of Nine Zero.

What I Need
(9/1/23)
"What I Need" is the second single from our new album, No Tomorrow. This one was unleased on September 1st, 2023.

​What I Need is a more traditional rock/metal anthem on the subject of "love gone wrong" (alternately, some have suggested there's analogous message in the song comparing a bad relationship to durg addiction). Written years ago, this one was originally developed on a standard guitar (our 1987 G&L Invader) with the use of an "edgy" bass synthesizer. Like most of the music we write nowadays, this was redone on the studio PRS 277 baritone, producing a more modern tone than the original version. This is a very angry song with which those of us who've gone through a bad relationship/breakup (or a substance abuse problem) should easily be able to relate. What I need also features sampled vocals by the artist, Nine Zero.

What I Need

"Ego Creep" is the third single from our forthcoming album, No Tomorrow. This one is set to be released on October 1st, 2023 in the spirit of Halloween.

​Ego Creep was written on the bass guitar with the use of a "sludgy" bass synth and a very dirty 6-string bass. Add in our PRS 277 baritone (tuned to a grungy B standard), and the overall tone of this song ended up very dark, heavy and ominous; hence, the lyrical content that flowed out of the universe and into our lizard brains being equally eerie. In retrospect, this tune is very Freudian in nature, ultimately about a person being haunted by their own ego (or their propensity to act in sinful ways). Nine Zero is once again the vocal performer on this track.

Ego Creep

This one is straight from the best traditional metal band of all time! They're still going strong...putting out new music while touring the world on Ed-Force One and selling out arena shows! This song - Wasted Years - has been one of my favorites since I first gravitated to the heavy metal genre. It's been covered dozens of times, so we were very careful about how we "reimagined" this version. We wanted something that hadn't been done already. Overall, we think we did a decent job updating this song with 35+ years of prog-rock evolution while pulling in a multi-genre vibe. Love Iron Maiden!!!

Wasted Years (Iron Maiden Cover)

"Like I Do" is the 5th single we released from Audio Graffiti Studios. This song was originally written as a cover song, but as it developed we heard something altogether different and took it in a completely different direction. The drum tracks are the driving force behind this song, and NineZero is once again throwing out the vocal performance.

Like I Do

Like I Do Final Master WAV

This one is straight from one of the best prog/rap rock bands of all time! Not only is this band one of our favorites, but they're a local NorCal band, and we've had the pleasure seeing them live many times over the years (most recently at AfterShock 2022). This song - Scars - has been one of our favorites since it first hit the airwaves 15 years ago. It's been covered many times, so we were very careful about how we "reimagined" this version. We wanted something that hadn't exactly been done already. Overall, we think we did a decent job recreating this song while pulling in a female lead, EMO vibe. Papa Roach rocks!!!

Scars (Papa Roach Cover - Reimagined)

When Doves Cry is the first cover song we've done for which we were also granted a license to create a full music video! We tried our best to "reimagine" this song as a contemporary/prog-pop rock tune. We dug in for the appropriate instrumentation in order to deliver the message in a new and hopefully refreshing way. Since we knew Solaria would be used for the vocal track in order to deliver the most dynamic and technical performance possible, we decided that it also made sense to tweak the lyrics in order to tell this story from a female point-of-view. In the end, we are very happy with how this turned out, and we're hopeful that Prince is not rolling over in his grave :)

When Doves Cry (Prince Cover - Reimagined)

Human Ponzis is a modern progressive rock double album that dives deep into corruption, social decay, and the struggles of the everyday person, while also offering hope, love, and redemption. Across 16 tracks, it blends sharp critiques of power and digital fakery with personal reflections on resilience, mental health, and transformation. Heavy yet melodic, it channels influences like Porcupine Tree, Tool, and Riverside, delivering both intensity and introspection. It’s an album about confronting darkness — external and internal — and emerging stronger on the other side.

Human Ponzis (Full Double Album)

Interstellar is a soaring modern progressive rock track that explores connection, devotion, and transcendence. Where many songs in Human Ponzis grapple with corruption, struggle, and broken systems, Interstellar lifts its gaze skyward — finding hope, intimacy, and belonging in a love that feels cosmic in scope.

The lyrics paint a picture of a bond so deep it transcends earthly pain and limitation. Lines like “You’re the only one who really understands me, the only one who always sees right through me” frame the song as both intimate and universal, resonating with anyone who has found a love that feels larger than life. The chorus expands this vision into the infinite: “With eyes open wide…out where dreams collide, we’re going Interstellar.”

Musically, the song blends progressive rock atmospheres with anthemic melodies. Guitars and rhythm build layers of energy, while soaring vocals carry the emotional weight upward, creating a sound that feels expansive and cinematic. The arrangement mirrors its theme — moving from grounded intimacy into wide-open sonic space, like a rocket breaking free of gravity.

At its core, Interstellar is about trust, surrender, and discovery: the idea that true connection can guide us beyond our limitations and into a new world of possibility. It’s a love song, but one framed as an odyssey, making it as much about transcendence as romance.

For fans of Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Muse, or even Pink Floyd, Interstellar delivers an emotional journey that fuses intimacy with grandeur. It’s a track that fits equally well in progressive rock playlists and modern rock collections that highlight soaring, cinematic soundscapes.

Interstellar

UnChosen is an anthem for the outsiders, the overlooked, and the broken. It tells the story of those born without privilege, weighed down by hardship, and left to struggle while others thrive. Yet within its bleak imagery is a defiant resilience — a refusal to surrender, even when fate seems cruel. The track blends grit with melody, layering lyrics of despair with a spirit of resistance. It’s both heartbreaking and empowering, resonating with anyone who has felt invisible yet determined to fight on.

Bleeding Daylight is a deeply emotional track about moving from despair into hope, from inner torment into light.

It’s both raw and uplifting — a healing anthem for those who’ve fought through their shadows.

Human Ponzis is a biting progressive rock anthem that exposes the hypocracy of greed, corruption, and deception at the heart of modern power structures. With razor-sharp riffs and scathing lyrics, it paints a portrait of leaders and institutions that feed on lies, false promises, and broken trust — only to reveal in the end that none of us are innocent, and we all play a role in this crooked system. Musically, it balances aggression with dynamics, building a soundscape that feels both urgent and epic. It’s a track for fans of Tool, Porcupine Tree, and Karnivool — a hard-hitting critique that doubles as self-reflection.

The Road is a raw, reflective track about life’s journey — mistakes made, scars collected, and lessons learned along the way.

The song blends haunting imagery with urgent emotion, portraying the struggle to escape while acknowledging the seductive pull of the very thing that’s consuming you.

An Iron Maiden Cover, Wasted Years is a reflective rock anthem about the passage of time, longing for home, and the search for meaning amid life on the road.

Sabotage is a raw, emotionally charged track about the destructive cycles of a toxic relationship. With lyrics that capture the push and pull of attraction, doubt, and pain, it reveals how love and harm can become entangled in a pattern of mutual self-destruction. The song frames this destructive dynamic as “sabotage” — a camouflage for wounds, shame, and scars that never heal. Musically, it blends intensity and vulnerability, making it both a confession and an anthem of toxic entanglement.

Sabotage

Something Inside Me is a song about inner conflict — wrestling with a force that feels both destructive and transformative.

The track balances tension and release, with verses steeped in doubt and choruses that build toward surrender. Musically, it channels a progressive rock intensity that mirrors its theme of transformation. It’s an anthem about listening to the inner voice, even when it challenges everything we’ve known.

Broken World is a defiant Christian rock ballad about resilience in the face of pain, chaos, and corruption. Its lyrics capture the weight of toxic thoughts, scars, and endless struggles, but the chorus becomes a rallying cry — refusing to beg, break, or surrender no matter how harsh the fight. Balancing grit with hope, the song portrays endurance as an act of rebellion, reminding us that even if we fall, we can rise again and refuse to let the world win.

Broken World

Wicked Ways is a confrontation with toxic influences and destructive patterns that masquerade as charm, comfort, or love. The song personifies temptation as a seductive force that drags us back into cycles of pain, betrayal, and loss. With sharp lyrics, driving riffs, and shifting dynamics, it captures the feeling of being trapped inside a maze of manipulation — fighting back even when escape feels impossible. It’s heavy, theatrical, and emotionally intense, with a soundscape that mirrors the battle between allure and destruction.

Wicked Ways

When Doves Cry (Prince Cover)

Little People gives voice to those who feel unseen, unheard, and crushed by systems of power. The song is a cry for the marginalized and forgotten — everyday people who hold up the world but vanish into its shadows. Its lyrics cut deep, portraying the futility of trying to win in a rigged system and the pain of being expendable in someone else’s pursuit of power. The chorus swells into an anthem of defiance and empathy, making it one of the most socially conscious tracks on the record. Sonically, it fuses raw emotion with a haunting melody, a protest song for the progressive rock era.

Little People

Trust is a powerful progressive rock anthem about redemption, faith, and finding strength after a life of broken promises and doubt. It moves from despair and deception into healing and conviction, portraying trust as the bridge between darkness and light. The song blends raw honesty with uplifting resolve, urging listeners to let go of fear and embrace belief, love, and unity. With its mix of vulnerability and triumph, Trust becomes both a personal confession and a universal call to hope.

Final Goodbye is a powerful reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the urgency of living without regret. With vivid imagery of fading dreams, lost love, and inevitable endings, the song reminds us that life offers no rewinds or repeats — only the present moment. Its soaring choruses urge listeners to embrace love, pursue meaning, and make every day count before the inevitable “final goodbye.” A blend of nostalgia, urgency, and hope, the track resonates as both a personal farewell and a universal anthem.
