about

This is our first offering as a band. Originally we had much higher hopes for this demo; we envisioned a seamless, studio-quality mini-record/EP with tracks that bled into one another harmoniously, but such was not the outcome. We took it upon ourselves and used our less-than-credible equipment to record four songs which, despite our apparent lack of studio prowess, were worth sharing beyond our circle of close friends.

Are there things we wish we could change or add to make it better? Sure. But that's the case with most past forms of art I've ever personally worked on. At the end of the day, we're still very proud of the idea of these songs, even if the quality suggests they were recorded in a kitchen with the faucet running.

Riffs, Demo 2013, Released 23 January 2013

On these recordings, Riffs is:

Riffs Scrivs- Guitar and Vocals
J Powechay - Guitar
K Travey - Drums

Album artwork and design by Riff (thanks for the eye, Lily!)

Thanks to:
'Knights of the Squared Circle' for taking us into his studio to record "Free" (free of charge, I might add - no pun intended); our friends; our family; our fiancees and girlfriends; anyone who gave a fuck to ask for a physical copy of the demo; and anyone else we don't know who has listened or expressed interest in what we're doing.
