the jam band i was in from 2004-2006. i was the drummer. the guys in the band were all around 25 and i was 17 when i joined... playing shows in bars. this was the demo we put together in 2005 in west seattle (see picture). drums were recorded first - and i was never happy with my performance (or the sound of my shitty drumset) but it's cool to look back on... very talented musicians i had the honor of playing with :)

72 hour hold - devil in sheeps clothes

this was the fan favorite at parties and bars... and one of my favorites to play drums on. the sounds of people talking throughout the slow parts of the song came from a party we played in 2005 when i was 18.  the guitarist and i were having an argument with my sister. she claimed that the beatles were nothing more than a glorified boy band. rich, sean, and i became very angry. i can hear that banter in the song. haha

72 hour hold - whiskey water

sean weaver wrote this song about prez george bush in 2005 during a time when he and i were playing solo. if i remember correctly - he played bass on this song as well. so it's sean on guitar, bass, and vocals - and myself on drums. my favorite recording of the 72 hour hold era as i always appreciated sean's voice/writing/talent more than our lead singers.
