The Rest

Mindless

Collection of songs written in the early oughts. Cut my recording teeth on this album. 

A Prayer For Dante

Underground

Part of a theme album named The Argument. In this song, programming references drive the story as philosophy and code join. Driving beat with hints of Tool, Radiohead, and Smashing Pumpkins.

You'll never be able to sever the lever that feeds the machine.
You'll never recover the time to discover the true lover of your life.
This system was put into place to spit in your face 'cause you're such a disgrace.
It's all a distraction to stop the reaction.
Slave to the wage.
Slave to the wage.

So now that you know about how they won't let you grow, you can be free.
First, save all your money.
Then, burn all your money together in harmony.
Yes, it grows on trees that sway with a windy breeze.
Get down on your knees.
It's all a distraction to stop a reaction.

This is a collection of recordings I've played drums on.  Bob, Evil People, and Bottlefight are three bands I played in, spanning from 1993-2005(ish).  More recently, I’ve reunited with old bandmate, Dan Wentworth to record some of his stuff. I also collaborated with my brother , Chris O’Brien on one of his songs (check his SoundCloud for a few bangers). 
I briefly reformed an old band, Hundred Pound Hanger, and wrote some songs. There are some demo recordings that may find their way here someday.  
I recently played drums for the Barnett Collective in the Phoenix, AZ area. Peter (Barnett) moved to the St. Louis area and is still making music. Look him up. 
I am now playing in Punk Daddy in Phoenix. We have started playing live like there’s no tomorrow. Sometimes, two shows in one night isn’t weird for us. We’re a pop-punk/alt rock trio having a good time for the old dudes. 
Recording credits shared with Kris Strom (guitars/vocals), Dan Wentworth (guitar/vocals), Steve Cummings (guitar/vocals), Gabe Mousseau (bass), Aaron Barnes (bass), Larry Catterton (bass) and Ryan Colturi (vocals). Also Chris O’Brien (guitars, bass, vocals).
