Really want to be in I am right where I want to be!
Excited about I’m excited about our (84 Days) debut album (released on November 7). I’ve been wanting to make an album like this forever.
My current music collection has a lot of Late ‘70s rock and punk. The Clash, David Bowie, Cheap Trick, Boston, and also some newer bands like Home Front.
And a little bit of (Genre): Lord Huron, The Handsome Family, and even a Juice WRLD track.
Preferred format I mostly just stream music nowadays—it’s convenient. I’m not into music that’s difficult to access. I’ll take the easiest format and turn it up.
5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:
1
Machine Gun Etiquette, The Damned
From the moment I heard the bass intro to “Love Song” I thought this was the best and most well-rounded punk rock album I ever listened to. It’s got power and energy from every instrument, great choruses and vocals. Captain Sensible plays the best guitar solos all over the album. It’s the whole experience.
2
The Black Album, The Damned
Another well-rounded album by The Damned. They could play fast, slow, melodic, raunchy…they could do it all. On this album they added Paul Gray on bass who is a major influence on my playing and one of my favorite bass players ever.
3
Suffer, Bad Religion
This album sounds so powerful and cohesive. It’s so melodic. It’s full of harmonies and so much power. This album changed the whole sound of punk rock from the day it came out even till now.
4
No Control, Bad Religion
This is like Suffer 2.0. Somehow, they made this one sound even more cohesive, melodic, and powerful than Suffer. The two are neck and neck as two of the still current best punk albums ever. The Clash’s first album comes to mind as one of the best also, but they aren’t on this list.
5
Heaven and Hell, Black Sabbath
Sabbath are just one of the best rock bands ever. Even when I got into punk, I still kept blasting Sabbath. Iommi is the absolute riff master, nobody can touch him. Geezer is so amazing, every best bass lick I’ve ever done is some version of what I thought Geezer was doing. Bill Ward was doing his version of Bonham, so good. Ozzy isn’t on this record. Even factoring everything Ozzy meant to the world of Rock, nobody can touch Dio vocally. Dio is the absolute best and this album is amazing.
