Liveblogging the Snow Sessions

Mark got stuck in Baltimore because of the epic snowstorm that hit the East Coast. Bad for him, but good for you all. Justin and Mark are going to do some recording. Prepare to be liveblogged…

Cross the Line (New Demo Version!)

As alluded to about eleven months ago, other members of the band have begun to work on the GarageBand files for our demos. J.Ro revisited our first song, “Cross the Line”, and added his own takes on lead guitar, organ, computer effects, etc.

The Evolution of pre-Nomenclature Home Recording Part One: Euriska
