When Death Should Find Us

The self-titled, debut EP from EdTang & The Chops, is a blistering introduction from a band that has something to prove. Five gripping and unapologetic tracks that will leave your heart pacing and wanting more.

Willy Loman

Brothers In The Way Back

Love comes in all forms. Life is too short for anything else.

Magic Tricks and Rolling Stone

Orlando Bloom

This song pays homage to what it means to be in a band. The bond formed by playing on stage, completely present and alive in the moment, and the ability to share that feeling of euphoria with others is incomparable. It's a nod to the collective dream of making a living through artistic expression and a mutual refusal to waive the white flag of surrender in the face of overwhelming odds.

The Chops

We ran away at 16 never looking back.  
The road taught us all we needed to know.  
But now we've grown up and got old,
And the memories we made turned asphalt to gold.

Kerouac's Curse

This is a deeply personal song for me as it deals with the passing of my uncle, Robert Gaffney, at an early age. He was an extremely positive influence on me growing up, introducing me to countless different types of music, movies, and books that would have taken a lifetime to discover on my own. He was a poet and an intellectual and his interests quickly became my interests. He was sick for a long time, on and off, sometimes better, sometimes worse, but when he passed at 42 it still felt intensely sudden. I was unable to make it home for the funeral, and as a result I missed the sense of closure such a ceremony attempts to provide. I've had this song with me for a long, long time and it feels good to finally get the chance to release it. Though we lost him early, the love that he left behind will live on forever. Thank you for listening. This one's for Bob...

'Goodbye, Zen5, Sushi Dinner' is the sophomore release from singer/songwriter EdTang. An introspective look into the line that separates the dates of a headstone... this is an album about hope, longing, and the waning twilight of youth. 

"Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny..." -Paulo Coelho, 'The Alchemist' 

This is an album about that struggle.
