NotePad Demo Version of - The Imperfections of Life

*This is the 'notepad' version of me coming up with ideas, writing them down or just going straight to recording them bit by bit. 
The recordings range in age and quality. Me trying to learn to sing, lines improvised to fill spaces, bad playing to que where guitar solo's will be, etc etc. All the real imperfections the album is based on. 
Im not looking to push this version out, just make it available to the people who might be interested in my 'behind the scenes' workings.

No, i dont mind people downloading/sharing links, and for updates/contact, head to the socials (at the front).
Enjoy!

The Imperfections Of Life - Notepad Version

An unfiltered journey through the eyes of our fictional main character, The Boy, exploring all the imperfections from his view of life. We join him through the magnificent and the arduous, only to become haunted by his harrowing howls of agony, forcing us to confront everything it truly means to be human.

Across a 17-track spectacular, we open the door to the cesspit that is modern life: rage, loss, reflection, and a healthy dose of distrust — all glued together with the minute remnants of the stubborn hope that led him down his chosen paths.

Bum notes, bad lyrics, terrible vocals and unpracticed parts all included. An emotional oil spill, The Imperfections of Life isn’t about escape; it’s about confrontation.
