Drunk On Leaving

Dive Bar

Between the Whiskey and the Razor Blades

For anyone chasing success—this song is your mirror.
A Billion vs One is about realizing, too late, that what truly matters might’ve been sitting right in front of you all along.

I built something to help people quit smoking after watching my own family suffer from cancer. The headlines came early. The impact was real. But with every new “win,” I drifted further from the life I actually wanted.

This isn’t just a story about what I achieved—it’s about what I lost trying to get there.

I’d trade it all for a trailer and the truth.

If you're grinding for more, ask yourself: what’s the cost of the climb?

A Billion vs One

This is one acre west’s stripped-down, Americana cover of U2’s 1987 classic “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”

100 Miles Away (Live from the Cygnet Folkfest 2025)

Play It By Ear is a song born from instinct, defiance, and the kind of raw honesty that only music can hold. Like the song says, songwriting is the only therapy I can afford... a way to process, reclaim, and transform experiences into something tangible. This track weaves together the vulnerability of creation and the resilience of self-expression, using words and sound to navigate uncertainty, disappointment, and survival. Some of the best lines I’ve ever written are here: verses that cut deep, revealing the catharsis of turning pain into art. If you’ve ever found refuge in music, if you’ve ever felt the pull to translate life into sound, this song is for you.

Point of You

Jimmy Tikkanen continues his journey beyond the hardcore scene with Skogsväg – a quiet but forceful reflection on origin, belonging, and the inner compass that pulls us back to what we once left behind.

Rooted in acoustic textures and a slow-burning drive, the track evokes the scent of pine and the chill of Luleå’s harbor winds. It’s shaped by a working-class silence, where music has never chased trends – only offered survival.

Tikkanen’s voice remains raw and unfiltered – shaped by years of punk screams in sweaty basements, now turned inward. No posing. Just an honest voice searching beyond the Bay of Bothnia’s horizon.

Skogsväg

A Man know for but not defined by his spiritual journey, Bear is deeply connected to the Universe through the endless pages of the Human Condition. Bear is a natural that understands when it is time to be fierce and how to be weak.  His Music is the gift he brings to those that need to hear it. The songs that he writes and sings are honest, they hurt and they heal. 
Add a little dash of quick wit and some well refined "Tongue-in-Cheek" banter, Bear Brewer can finally tell his side of the story...

Drawing from a wide range of influences, including everything from hardcore punk to honky-tonk, singer-songwriter Pat Hatt crafts his own brand of Americana with songs that give listeners a sense of heartfelt humility and grit.

In 2023, Hatt released “High Is Gone” and “On The Mend,” stripped down indie-folk songs showcasing his knack for intimate storytelling, coupled with an acoustic guitar and twangy croon. In April 2025, he released an alt-country/folk single, “Catch a Serpent,” which was recorded at Tiny Telephone in Oakland, California with Maryam Qudus (La Luz, Spacemoth) and mastered by Grammy-Award winning Pete Lyman (Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers). 

In July 2025, Hatt will be releasing his newest five-song EP, produced and mixed by Alex Newport (City and Colour, Death Cab For Cutie, Bloc Party) at Tiny Creatures Studio in Joshua Tree, California. With a full band behind him, he delves into the rootsy, heartland rock sounds of Petty and Springsteen while weaving in elements of his own background in punk and indie rock. 

With a new sound and fervor, this EP defines a new era for Hatt’s career.

I write raw, truth-driven lyrics about the world we're living in — no filters, no fluff. Every word you hear starts as a thought spoken into voice-to-text. I don’t make beats or sing — I focus on the message. If you’ve ever felt like something’s wrong with the system, with society, or with the stories we’ve been told… this is for you.

I write songs in a genre called “Nobody Will Listen To These Songs Anyway.”
