Track 1 on the album "337" by BattleCat.  

Scene:  Vikings on the verge of battle, struggling to overcome the constant attacks on their villages and homes, set sail on an epic voyage to fight the outcast, the necromancer who controls an army of dead and lives beyond the edge of the known world.  They stand together as one against the oncoming army of evil, ready to die for their freedom.

NIDINGR

Track 2 of the album, "337" by BattleCat.

This song is our tribute to the show, Stranger Things.  Our late drummer, Lee, loved this show as much as the rest of us, and it's in his memory that we worked to record and finish this for him.  Lee, give 'em hell in the Upside Down!  We miss you.

UPSIDE DOWN

Track 3 of our album, "337".

This song was inspired by the musical, Annie, but it relates to the three of us.  Greg, Lee, and myself all suffer from different forms of depression, and we always thought of this band project as our therapy.  Tomorrow is a song of hope, of looking forward to the promise of a better tomorrow.

TOMORROW, THE SUN

This is an instrumental song we recorded live with Lee before he passed away.  Listen to that animal on the drums, there's never going to be another like him!

STRANGEST THINGS (LIVE)

Track 4 of our album 337 is special, because we were able to use Lee's original drums for the recording.

Spirits Misaligned W.Lee

This is track 5 on the album, 337.  We collectively wrote this song with different lyrics, but so many things have happened since Trump was elected that we've revised the song six times.  The current version is non-specific to last the test of times, barring a nuclear holocaust.  This was one of Lee's favorite things to play.  We also used to play the song differently every time, different solos, different breakdowns, different tempos, so expect us to have some fun with this song.  In fact, there will be several alternate versions of this song posted eventually.  So pay attention!  :)

And for those who did vote for Trump, we love you too.  Even if you're wrong.  :D

This song was influenced by two bands in particular.  Van Halen, of course, and the Landmines.  We love you Nate and Jared.

What He Said

The Hand

This song was inspired by my son.  I had just written the riff, and when I finished recording a quick video of it so I wouldn't forget it, he yelled out, "No!  Monster!"  behind me.  Apparently he and my other son were playing some kind of chase game, and my oldest was the monster.  It was so cute, I wrote the lyrics around the ending of my video, and based the song off his cries.  When I asked him to re-record it for the official song, he got upset (he's 4, he does not need a reason to get upset), and said, "You're making me an-g-aree".   And thus, history was made again.  xx

No! Monster

This is a song about being independent, not reliant on what society deems necessary to survive, proving to the world that you can and will be fine, and your world will be the way you want it to be, not bound within the lines society has drawn for you, but on your own path, in your own world, your universe of which you are the grand architect.

No One Else

This song was one of the last ones Lee and I wrote before his untimely passing.  Lee and I played this over and over again, and by the end of the song he was jumping up and down and yelping and we had the absolute best time.  I miss you, brother.

Devil's In

We're a band from Atlanta, GA.  We are primarily time-traveling retro art deco distopian polka artists from the year 2019, but none of us play brass or accordion, so we ended up resorting to doing the rock band thing just to get by.  It's hard to rock as hard as we do when all you want to do is dawn Lederhosen and slap your knees and make gutteral whooping sounds all day whilst drinking the finest Hefeweizen and dipping pretzels in bier cheese soup.  God, it's exhausting.  Plus, the lack of soup is disappointing on a monumental scale.
