Totally Fine, by Pup
Power chords and lots of energy. I decided to try moving around more in front of the camera for this one, to see if it better expresses what I’m like on stage. It feels awkward, but I have a sense I need to do more of that.

Coolidge, by Descendents
My first punk song! Counterfit covered this one when we first moved to California and played it live a few times. I learned about it them when they were on the soundtrack for a Thrasher skate video. They are considered the first pop-punk band and influenced all the punk that came after them, especially in the 90’s.

Dis’chords, by Lagwagon
I have spent a lot of time studying this band. They were one of my favorites in high school. This record in particular, because it’s basically Metallica but in major scales, which was a perfect fit for who I was back then. Hyper and generally happy, unlike the anger found in metal.
