american f00d is a musical experiement.
This project began as a way to use music as a vehicle for social commentary. What’s being said in the lyrics guides how the music should sound & feel. I found it interesting how that changed the role of musical genre from a band identity to a stylistic choice.
This band, which is just me and a laptop, writes music in any genre featuring guitars & drums. However, to keep things organized, music will be released in the form of three song EPs, each with a distinct personality that drives both what’s being said and what genre of music is best for saying it. The band itself won’t have a genre, but every EP will.
Three Previews
Cant Sleep Crew
This song will be on the indie EP, Silent Artillery Of Time. It is a slow, dreamy song that floats between behaving like insomnia and describing insomnia, and my lifelong hope to one day turn my mind off and go to sleep at a normal time every night.
Cane Spiders
This song will be on the rock EP, Internet On The TV. It is one of the best things I’ve ever written. It has 3 guitar solos, 7 singing voices, and two drummers for the last 1/3 of the song. It tells a story about trying to overcome the ways we communicate to find understanding with people who think & speak differently from us.
Never Forget pt Deux
This song will be on the political punk EP, Street Fight. It is an angry rocker that captures so much of what I felt on Jan 6th. It doesn’t pull any punches, yet does so with a smirk, as though I never doubted they’d all pay for what they did.
