After the Goomies run, Corey put out 2 albums under the name "Tiny Teeth", a name which was taken from a Goomies song "small, tiny teeth."  The band sounded and resembled the Goomies music, but Corey later dropped the name/project after a few other bands around the country were popping up  trying to play under the same name.  So he came up with Awfulmoth and the rest is history.

2009-2012 Corey played Drums in a punk band from Lemon Grove, CA, Rock Paper Tiger.

Corey continued to write music, and recorded his music under a solo project name 'Awfulmoth' which began its modest, home-recordings in 2011, but didn't release a song, or put anything out for the public until March 2014.  

Around the same time he released his first album for Awfulmoth, Corey helped form a Blues-surf-rock band, Flakes in 2014 with  vet-Goomies member, Zach Brewer. They started by recording a demo, playing shows as a duo, later adding a Bassist in 2016 (Chico Flores), and a 2nd guitar player in 2017, Sergio Flores (Rock Paper Tiger).
