This is the beginning of a new short documentary series I’ve started to collaborate on with friend and videographer Joe Karably. This first project came out amazing and I’m excited about what The Loose Ends is going to hold in store for the future. Keep on the look out for this series!
A series of stills from the doc piece my buddy Harbor and I did on Defeater. I’ve already started cutting it together, should have something concrete soon.
I’m very excited to being working with my good friend Joe Karably on this new project. He is an amazing videographer and I can’t wait to share our results with everyone.
Another review for gluehc.com. This one is the debut full length record by hardcore band Backtrack. If you like heavy music then it will please you.
Here’s one of a few updates that are a little past dude. This is another review I did for Gluehc.com. The band is called Self Defense Family, aka: End of a Year, aka: End of a Year (Self Defense Family), and this album is worth checking out.
I’ll be contributing regularly to this site, so if you’re into hardcore music you should definitely check it out.
This night was really a perk of being a journalist for me. I got to sit down and have a conversation with one of my favorite bands of the past few years. I did my best to not geek out, at least until the end of the interview. After the tape stopped we ended up talking for another 20 minutes about 90’s movies and the band Adorable. It was a lot of fun.
A Night of Music With Lauris Vidal and Friends
This is a write up I did of show we had at Brick & Mortar a few months ago featuring Lauris Vidal. It was a fun night and I had a great time covering it. This was posted on Brickandmortarbuilt.com on January 26th 2011.
If you’ve been to Brick & Mortar’s studio space, you’ll notice that one of the characteristics that makes it so special is its feeling of intimacy. It’s a small space that demands your interaction as much as your attention. Whatever is going on, you’ll have the opportunity to engage it, feel it and embrace it, metaphorically or literally. That’s why when a musician like Lauris Vidal sets up in the middle of the room to play a few songs, it feels like a hand in a glove. Vidal is no stranger to small spaces. He’s just as likely to play in someone’s living room as a he is to play on a stage, and any of those usual band-audience invisible barriers that exist even with the humblest of musicians don’t seem to bother him.
