Covers

Recorded in 2005 (long before Django Unchained was released)

Django (Originally By Luis Bacalov)

Obscured by Clouds [Pink Floyd Cover]

My best friend gave me money to buy a Bowie album and I promised him a Bowie cover so here it is

Golden Years [David Bowie Cover]

This is one of my favourite punk songs and I just did an abridged version for the Make Lighting EP.

Blitzkrieg Bop [Ramones Cover (Shortened)]

This is a cover of my favorite Misfits song.

Return of the Fly [Misfits Cover]

This is my attempt at covering a Nirvana song. It's got flaws here and there as I had to edit it intensely to get it to sound how I wanted.

Pennyroyal Tea [Nirvana Cover]

Andrew aka Toxodon. Lonely Host began when I joined a band named Nemesis circa late 1999. I began as vocalist/guitarist with Jordan on bass and Jeff on guitar. We mostly played songs by Rage Against the Machine at first. We all went to a local Moneen show one night and immediately began writing new songs influenced by them. We decided the new band's name would be Lonely Host (credit goes to Jeff for the name). By this time we had acquired a drum set and Jeff began his tenure as a successful drummer while Jordan took up DJ'ing under the moniker of LocoMotive. I remained lone guitarist, vocalist and lyricist. Starting in 2001 began experimenting with home recording and FL Studio. Eventually I was programming rudimentary drums, synth and overdubbing bass. This transformation was not reflective of any disdain for my bandmates but rather a product of my isolation at home. Jeff and Jordan have many different influences, some overlapping with mine (especially RATM, Tool and Floyd) while my main influences include Tool, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Oasis, Stone Roses, RATM, Deftones, Primus, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Nine Inch Nails, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, John Carpenter and Ennio Morricone. Shortly after my 40th birthday in 2024, I decided to open a new chapter for Lonely Host continuing on very much as I was back in 2006. I can't recommend Audacity and FL Studio enough. And I still use the multi-effects pedal, wah-wah pedal and guitars and bass that I used back then. UPDATE: I have acquired a BOSS GT-1 effects board and am now using  that for my recordings going forward of both guitar and bass. I am still trying to find a working solution for recording vocals because using a webcam's mic is just wrong lol.
