Another gem from the 3 song sampler Fishwhistle released after a vocalist and direction change to a heavier funk infused feel...Rage and 311 were on the menu at the time

01 Top Of My Own

Last unreleased gem from Fishwhistle after changing vocalists and direction to a heavier funk based direction...this one more moody...very emotional..poured all we were into this one at the time...A little A.I.C. ish in the beginning to me...loved playing this song live

Down On You  - Fishwhistle

By far...our signature card from the heavier version of fishwhistle...out encore from every show..if you knew or saw this version of Fishwhistle..you knew this song...we got a little love on the airwaves with this one...quick simple heavy in your face to the point...enjoy

Faceless - Fishwhistle

Was an absolute pleasure to be apart of this band...even for the short period of time...the talent, writing,energy,brotherhood was all there...no idea how i still sell transmission parts today after being in bands such as this...the industry is so clueless...in my humble opinion

Miles Away - Disonic

Been posting a few songs lately of bands i was very proud to have been apart of...Out of several of them, Denial Machine was a band that deserved a shot in that ring...i do not own this material...just playing it as a tribute to remind people that there are bands out there that still kick ass...you just have to look a little harder for them...

Walking Away - Denial Machine

"Mayhem"...yes...before tommy Lee had it tattooed on his stomach...another one we were very proud of but never made it to the airwaves - 

MAYHEM - Fishwhistle

For anyone that knew mark.Vic, myself and the history of Fishwhistle... you knew Jerry McClanahan...It was a love hate relationship to end all love hate relationships...but man could that fucker sing...When he sang, there was a realness that emerged that you simply couldn't deny...pain...heartache....life....R.I.P. Jerry... This is an acoustic spin off from fishwhistle that we called COPE - The song "I dont understand" had the major parts written and i was proud to help arrange and add a few touches to an already great song. Mikey B produced it and played leads..and none other than billy K left a bar at the wee hours to come knock out the drums...thanks fellas for this has been heard by so few...hope you like it...cuz there's some serious soutshside input on this one....For you Julia Zavala

I DONT UNDERSTAND - COPE

See right thru me is a flat out masterpiece...it was our best work of all around songmanship at the time...it was the peak of our writing abilities...we pushed every boundary with this song...different styles...lyrical content...etc...very proud of this one...it deserves to be heard and not sitting in some envelope growing mold...i hope you like it cuz we loved writing and playing it...enjoy

SEE RIGHT THRU ME - FISHWHISTLE

As if i wasnt busy enough..i figured i would use the free 2 hours a week i have available to start pursuing a hopeful oneday life change into voice over work...Here is an example from a few years back of a "BANDFOMERCIAL" for Disonic that i was playing bass for at the time... i wrote the script, directed and performed the V.O.

 I have been following an amazing mentor...Susan Berkley (voice of at&t and citibank) and with her guidance am hopeful this will become something i can EVENTUALLY do full time...i welcome and critiques (or compliments)...good or bad...as we are always on a path of learning and growing. If you own or know a business that utilizes voice over talent and think i could be a match for yours or their product/needs....i'd appreciate any push..
