Miguel did a somewhat lesser version of this 4 years ago. Yes.


Early Retirement

Another old favorite, given a much-needed overhaul.

Something awesome happened here: Matt went and took his original riff, made himself a kickin' lead, and then topped it off with a juicily thunderous bass line.  Note that Jeff was not yet a member of the band, so Matt did both Guitar AND Bass, as well as vocals.  

Miguel is very proud of this drum track, and also his backup vocals might just be the best thing ever. Because it sounds cool.


Big Rick

First Take Rosa (Formerly Audioporn and the Developing Body) essentially just covering their former selves, but WAY better.

This is a rough draft. We will fine-tune the mastering asap.

Minor Sin


THE STORY SO FAR...

A long, long time ago, at a drummer's house far far (kind of close) away, there was a little band called Satan Fish. They wrote a song called "Tokyo-A-Go-Go." It was terrible. Years later, two of those men would join forces with an awesome bassist and revive the song, minus the trite lyrics and with the addition of a few extra years worth of talent and technical know-how. 

Heart in your Windpipe

We got up in the morning, had breakfast, and spontaneously wrote and recorded this song.

Our bassist Jeff wrote the progression.

This Is The Best It'll Ever Be

(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding cover)

Finally got the goahead from Matt to put this up on the soundcloud, ENJOY!

Bienvenidos to our new bassist, Jeff. This is a hell of a beginning.




Don't You Never Stay away From Me

If you get it, you're a nerd.  It's not a bad thing.  You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.

To the Falcon

After much deliberating, we decided to let this one out.

Wont Wait

Lo-Fi, semi-acoustic set (One-Track Recording) done one Saturday afternoon in San Francisco, California.  Good to be back in action.

Proving that you CAN record a song over long distances.  

Oranges

A new and improved version of Minor Sin. 

 Not much improvement, just Jeff is playing bass now instead of Matt.  SO we recorded a new version to reflect that.  New vocal tracks, guitar, and bass.  Some extras, and a revamped version of the original drum track. 

 Enjoy!
