I never met another man I’d rather be. And even if that’s a delusion, it’s a lucky one.

See that sticker..?
Anonymous asked: Hey guys, love the new record! One of my favorite parts about it is Tymm's drum parts. What kind of snare drum did you use?
-Alex
Tymm used a 7x14 SJC steel shell snare with maple reinforcement hoops on 11 of the songs. The song “Teeth” was recorded using a 7x14 Maryland Custom Drum Maple Snare.
What a song

Fireworks // Gospel
Doing what I do for a living, I’m privileged to get to know a multitude of great people, most of which happen to be in bands, or work for bands. When a friend of mine does their job exceptionally well, whether they’re a production manager, musician, tour manager, backline tech, or audio engineer, I do my best to recognize that fact. This is simply one of those moments.
A few years ago, I was lucky enough to tour with Fireworks, from the suburbs of Detroit. We’ve been friends since, and recently, they’ve released a new record, which I finally got my hands on. (digital and vinyl) Obviously, if the album was disappointing, or even mediocre, I likely wouldn’t be blogging about it. That, however, is not the case. I loved these songs after the first listen. I’m not going to give a detailed review for a number of reasons, because that’s not my job, and it’s not what I’m good at. I only want to congratulate my friends on a job well done, and encourage those of you who haven’t heard this record to do so as soon as possible.
Good job, boys.
Anonymous asked: I am the Challenger chords please.
Way too riffy for chords and we did it at like 3 am in our practice space in one sloppy take. I don’t know if WE even remember, sorry!

We did a few shows at the house in Dearborn, this being one of my favorites. I made the flyer too and forgot how weird it was.
P.S. This was 3-4 years ago, don’t show up please!
