Singer/Songwriter, Russ Rogers has been actively writing, performing and recording rock/pop/soul music for the last 20 years. His guitar driven neo-soul awash in melancholic hooks, sets a dark yet hopeful tone. Current bands are A New Way to Live Forever http://soundcloud.com/anewwaytoliveforever, and DRTY LVRS http://soundcloud.com/drtylvrs. Notable tenure as Singer/Bassist and songwriter  for The Numb Ones (Cleopatra Records) has given Russ national recognition for his song craft, a trait he has since refined in earnest. Regular solo performances offer the perfect isolated venue for Russ’ overflow of creative output.

I also sing and play bass as "Chason" in DRTY LVRS, a dark wave electro band. http://drtylvrs.com - http://facebook.com/drtylvrs - http://soundcloud.com/drtylvrs

I've been doing this stuff for a long time, and tend to write a lot, so it's quite good for my psyche to have soundcloud as a vehicle for my output. Basically all of the songs I upload here were, for better or worse, written, played/programmed, recorded, and mixed by me. Drums & synths are mostly programmed, instruments are all played, and vocals are just fun :)

Hope you dig some of the tunes.

Each week we sit down with a special guest and dig in to a record that got them - metaphorically - high. Great albums, great guests, questionable commentary.

played in a couple of groups. this is almost all of the recordings i played on.
