"J.R.S. Feb '25 Mix"
- This is my most recent album of new material
- "One Tasty Bite" from this tape has become a staple of my live set!
- Fun fact: I attempted to write and record a song every day of February 2025. That's why these songs exist!
Upcoming shows:
- 1/16/2026 – w/ MOTO(!!), Maneaters, and The Rocker Show @ Mat's House in Hammond, IN
- 1/21/2026 – w/ The Part Timers and Growing Boys @ The Hideout
- 3/8/2026 – "Busker's Last Stand" @ Missouri Theater (part of True/False Film Fest in Columbia, MO)

What's Next?
I thought you'd never ask... I'm working on my (self-titled?) debut album! The other ones don't count– they are "mixtapes" or whatever
The goal is to release it as an LP, in addition to the usual cassettes...
I may enlist outside help for mixing for the first time, making this my "Crooked Rain"...
Here are the songs I have written or am in the process of writing for the album:
- Johnny the Weirdo – A song about bullying. This one is recorded
- Thwart That Wart – A schoolchild's prayer for clear skin. This one's recorded too!
- Cocaine is Fine – Get it? ;) This one is about half recorded. It's a country song. I'm trying to write a mostly rock record, but this one might make the cut?
- Supermom – This is an attempt at early Weezer/The Rentals pastiche. A song about my mom– she is my superhero. I'm still finishing writing it.
Say "Hello"!
