Twin Peaks - Pit of Doom [Demos and Unreleased Tracks] (2023)

 Twin Peaks - Pit of Doom [Demos and Unreleased Tracks] (2023)


Twin Peaks is the name I've performed under for the last 20 years. I know that other bands have come up since with moderate levels of success but I, distinctly, am Twin Peaks. These songs were all recorded between 2006 and 2012 although I recently added the vocals to the song "Hip Star" which was supposed to be a track on what would have been a Twin Peaks chiptune record. But then, instead, I just decided to do a whole separate 8-Bit band called Burlington Hate Factory. Tracks 2 and 8 were demos for the album "Dang High Volt (2006) but most of the songs (Tracks 1, 4-7 and 9-11) were demos for what would become the album "It's My Party and I'll Die if I Want To" (2009) that my friend Evan dug out of the digital dumpster. That album was actually recorded 4 times before we got it right (And Steve, the producer, wants to record it again). I used to make "demos" for my albums that were actually me playing all of the instruments and doing some light mixing as opposed to the 20 other easier ways to make a demo. Then I'd show them to Tom Raggio, Justin Credibly Old, Steve Guzzardo and whoever else was going to be working on the music. 

The last track, "This One" was written and recorded in one day in 2012. Newlywed and completely broke, I was writing essays and songs for people on this task-based website and this girl wanted me to write and record a song for her European boyfriend across the sea. I told her that a female singer-songwriter would be a more logical choice but I think she dug my low rates and lack of self-respect. So she gave me some history about their time together and I ran with it. She wanted Disney-style pop and I gave her what sounds like an acoustic Rise Against track but she still kind of liked it. It's not bad.
I've touched up these songs as much as I could but they still sound like demos. I'm happy with it though and I'm glad it's out. Music is not butts. So it should not be just sitting around.

(Note: Reggaeton music is butts)

KFA - Absolution (2025)

Imagen
 KFA - Absolution (2025) It's with great pride that today we release the third KFA album "Absolution". Once again, this Doom-inspired HxCx crossover record features me (Jello) on vocals and Megaton on all instruments and programming. Marking an evolution in sound over the past three years, this album differentiates itself both sonically and thematically. The sound of the record is still very Doom and with a lot of early 90's hardcore influence, but the discerning listener will appreciate the influence of Ministry, acid rock and even some NWOBHM on the overall sound picture with confident use of tasteful keyboards, vintage guitar and bass tones and some complex song structures. There's a lot to enjoy. Lyrically, I really dug deep, delving into diverse themes such as Thomas Jefferson, quantum physics, spirituality, work culture and nuisance tourists, all delivered with a greater influence from horror punk vocalists. I genuinely love this record. For me at least, it...

Downhill Frenzy - ...Relax, It's Just a Demo (2001)

 Downhill Frenzy - ...Relax, It's Just a Demo (2001)  When I started high school in 2001, there was a short list of bands known to be made up of members of our school, Central High in Philadelphia. The guy I knew from this band (I'm pretty sure) was named Adam and I know he was one of the horn players. I'm sure he's the one who gave me this demo. I can't be certain if I ever saw them play but I know that around the time of this release they had started playing a couple of high-profile ska shows. The one that comes to mind is King Django. I do love this 6-song demo though. It clearly sounds 80% like Less Than Jake but it's got really great energy and the band is pretty tight. I always wanted to see if they released anything else and how I could get it. If anybody knows anything about this band, please tell me in the comments. The copy I have became pretty damaged, and I had to repair the audio and then I did a little bit of mastering and created an album cover. I...

TWIN PEAKS - "Sings in Old Entish" (2026)

 TWIN PEAKS - "Sings in Old Entish" (2026) So..... Aside from some remastered material (lots more to come!) and a B-Sides album, my main musical project Twin Peaks has not released an album of new music since 2013. So, it has been a very long time. This album itself features songs written as early as 2008 and the recording began in 2023. I played most of the instruments and sang and Tom Raggio played drums. Steve Guzzardo Recorded and mixed the drums and I recorded, produced and mastered the rest of the album. Mainly, the past 13 years have involved just being very busy at work but I've also worked on a number of other musical projects. In any case "Twin Peaks Sings in Old Entish" is finally here! Simply put, this is the best Twin Peaks album. I think the recording sounds really good. I think our performances are on point and every song is a banger. To be nearly 40 and putting out something like this feels pretty good. Thematically, it talks about the difficulti...
