• My Back Available on Digital Formats for the First Time!

    12/25/2023

    Look at this oldie we knocked out the box!
    20 Year Anniversary (or more?) of the song "My Back." There were a few different OG versions either on Bootleg CDs or even a Skate Video back in the day, and it was always a fan favorite at live shows. Anyway, I thought why not release a new version but with an ode to the old and finally get it on some streaming services (Coming Soon!) and Bandcamp. Enjoy, friends.

    Written and Recorded by Derill Pounds. Beat by Bufus Wood. Cuts by Jay Be ILL. Mixed and Mastered by Matthew Sawicki at Suburban Pro Studios.

  • Song Names For Hire!

    9/8/2022

    I have a couple songs coming out soon and wanted to touch on some serious business, the names of the songs. 


    Anyway, I was going to be all edgy and name them Song 1 of 2 and Song 2 of 2 and just call it "Two Songs in a Row," then I remembered we had a random vote on here a couple years ago with song names my daughter came up with and never shared the results 😂


    The results:


    Cat Portal - 22


    Syrup Face - 16


    Buddha Gold - 12


    Apple Poop - 11


    Butterfly Bush - 8


    Fairy News, Cup Hook, Pony Song - 5 ea.


    Unless some entity wants to release it for me, you can expect some variation of these names on this two song EP by Halloween 2022. Beats by Moodie Black and Mixed/Mastered by Matthew Sawicki.
