Why I Use An iPod in 2024

12/20/2024

To this day, few things bring me to a more relaxed state than spending time sitting and listening to music, and making that music my singular point of focus for however much time I have. When I was a kid, it was with the cassettes I made by recording my favorite songs off the radio. As I got older, I got into the CDs my parents had, like Michael Jackson's 'Thriller.' I would throw my headphones on and immerse myself in a different world for the length of the album.
​
The advent of file-sharing services like Limewire and Kazaa meant that an 11-year-old kid with no money had access to more music than ever before. My brother and I became MP3 hoarders and discovered a ton of music during this time. I would burn bootleg copies of my favorite albums onto CDs and would even print out the album art to put in jewel cases to pretend like I had the real thing. Eventually, my parents bought me an MP3 player that could fit hundreds of CDs onto it. I started accumulating more music than I could even listen to, but I was in heaven.

New Music!  Daughter Chaos - "Immortality & The Worm"

Today, my band Daughter Chaos is premiering a new track called "Immortality & The Worm" from our upcoming album Noble Rot. I wrote this song years ago but rediscovered it in 2020, and it fit perfectly with the material we were working on. It has a Eucharist-esque vibe with a chorus that’s a nod to In Flames, all filtered through my own writing style. Our former drummer Yanni Sofianos brought in some great rhythmic ideas, and Sara’s vocals really completed the picture.
Structurally, it’s straightforward—a verse, pre-chorus, chorus, and bridge kind of song—but the main melody is what makes it memorable. It’ll stick with you. The solo is more of a texture, creating a mysterious feel in the bridge before looping back to the chorus. I’m excited for you to check out this playthrough video and can’t wait for you to hear Noble Rot later this year!  Please, let us know what you think in the comments section.

Single Review: Linkin Park - “The Emptiness Machine”

JAMES MINCHIN III
Once I saw the announcement that Linkin Park had recruited a new singer and drummer, a lot of thoughts came to mind, especially about the new singer.
The first question I had was, "How do you fill shoes as big as Chester Bennington's?" How can anyone be expected to take on that role and step into the legacy Linkin Park created with Chester? I wrote down my thoughts as I tuned into their live concert stream, and after a while, the answer came to me: you don’t.

Why I Listen to Vinyl in 2024

8/30/2024

0 Comments

 
I've been an active Spotify user since around 2011. Having seemingly endless access to music felt like a net positive. For the price of a single CD each month, I could explore what felt like all the music in the world. I discovered new artists and rekindled my love for some forgotten favorites.
Being able to access any song at any time was especially great when I was teaching guitar on the road. But over time, something changed in my listening habits. I found myself often playing music while doing something else. It made sense at first—you get older, take on more responsibilities, and don’t always have time to sit and enjoy music alone. This was my justification for a while.

NEW MUSIC! Daughter Chaos - "Noble Rot"

7/1/2024

0 Comments

 
Today is a very exciting day for my band Daughter Chaos. After years of hard work, we have officially released the first single off of our forthcoming album “Noble Rot.” The first single is the title track “Noble Rot” which can be purchased here.
“Noble Rot” is a chunky, mid-tempo tune with a blistering solo (if I do say so myself). My comrade Sara Abrams lays down the foundation with a mighty bass tone that I had the pleasure of stacking my rhythm guitars on top of. This song was designed to sound like a gut punch at every turn and I think we accomplished that.
Mixed and mastered by the great Mark Lewis, we have a record with a sizzling top end and a meaty low end ready for your ears. Stay tuned as we will soon be announcing the official release date for the album, as well as other great content leading up to the release.
The music video was shot in the depths of a dungeon in Brooklyn, NY and I think it captured the vibe perfectly. In addition to the space, we had the tremendous efforts of our friends over at Ritual Filmz who made this video come to life and we can’t thank them enough. They went above and beyond to ensure that we ended up with a video that captured the energy of the song.
The processes for creating this album as well as the forthcoming album from my other band Framework have been harrowing to say the least. However, the most important thing is that there is new music to hear and there will be more to follow. This is only the beginning and I invite you to stay connected so you don’t miss out on what’s to come.
