Earth A.D. (Misfits Cover By Circular Ruins)

As KEXP celebrates its 50th anniversary, we’re looking back at the last half-century of music. Each week in 2022, KEXP pays homage to a different year and our writers are commemorating with one song from that year that resonates with them. This week, Dusty Henry looks back at the title track Black Flag’s 1979 debut ‘Nervous Breakdown’ and the timeless feeling of rage.

I Can't Remember (Alice In Chains - Cover)

Just a little punk song I did in the middle of the night inspired by Ramones and Dead Kennedys.

Sounds Decay

This is an alternative rock song I wrote to express frustration at the current political climate. It invokes protest but I am not advocating violent protest.

Make Lightning

Acknowledgements to the stylings of East Bay Ray of Dead Kennedys.

Dead City Trauma

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)]

Wavves (a.k.a Nathan Williams) posted up on Twitter last week a cover of Misfits screecher "Hybrid Moments".

In typical lo-lo-fi fashion Nathan has scrambled the original even further with tons of reverb and even missing the last chorus (ha!).

For a guy doing his own thing and still buzzing along you have  to give full props to the boy-stoner!

Wavves - "Hybrid Moments" [Misfits 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.
