Album Facts and Info:

This Album was recorded in 1998 & 1999 in my basement with very minimal recording software and knowledge.  All I knew is that I had a few songs that I wanted to record and was very broke.  It was a fun album and the one that started it all.  Only a few people have copies. If you can find one it is one of only a few surviving.  Hang on to it!

Album Facts and Info:
After hearing Matthews DEMO "My Attempt", Matt Castelein asked Matthew if he wanted to work out a few tracks for a more fleshed out demo.  It was decided that they would work out of Matt's Grandparents home as they were snowbirds and were away in Arizona for the winter.  It was Matthews first attempt at working with a real drummer and real production.  Angel Dear #3 and Decisions were the two tracks that were chosen to be the main tracks for the session and it as completed just as the new year (2000) began.

Album Facts and Info:

"Pages Fold" and "Where The Ghosts All Go" were played on excellent rotation on idie radio for a band as 'hometown' as we were. The overall quality of this album also got this release distributed into Best Buy stores in our home market.  Additionally, the album was available on BestBuy.com, which was very exciting for such an indie band. We can be extremely proud of what we accomplished with this release.

Album Facts and Info:

most of these tracks are cleaned up (slightly) from any previous releases, aside from that the rest of them are either noted as studio tracking otherwise they are the terrible unrelated unfiltered tracks, please enjoy while I sit in the corner crying and rocking back and forth as some were never meant to see the light of day.
