 THE PSYCHEDELIC FUZZ - LIVE ON WKDU (2006) [2023 REMASTER]


When I started at Drexel University in 2005, I wasn't too excited about being a student but I knew the main reason I wanted to go to the school was to work at 91.7 WKDU, the only free-format, non-commercial radio station in Philadelphia. This was at a critical point in Philly radio as well since our only designated rock station, WMMR, went off the air that year and if you wanted to hear weird or obscure or ambient or loud or obnoxious music, then we were the one-stop shop for anyone in about a 50-mile radius. I met Erica Corbo about as soon as I started the training process there and we became fast friends. Over the next few years, we were roommates and regularly contributed to each other's musical projects. I recorded the full-length album for her experimental, psych-folk jam band The Psychedelic Fuzz and then, a few months later, I produced a live session for them on WKDU (And, as the chief engineer, I briefly had the ability to do things like that.) The band, consisting of Dave (bass, mandolin), Tim (guitar), Ray (drums) and Erica (keys, vocals) was really terrific. They had complex songs and great musicianship. I had this session sitting on a hard drive for the past 17 years or so and I feel good now that I've cleaned up the audio a bit. I wish that the bass would punch through past the kick a bit more but I'm still happy with how it turned out. Erica calls out all of the track titles during the session except for track 2. I felt like the name was something like "Existence's Birth" so that's how I labeled it. Enjoy!

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...
