Guitars, games, dogs, metal, and Seinfeld (not in that order). Learning Sciences doc, college professor, anti-racist, and fat. Be good to each other.

One of the loudest bands I’ve ever seen

I see what you did there

Started in OH, then to StL (which I’m just on the IL side of), then Chicago, then back to StL.

Few non-metal songs give me the, what I call, “stink face”…but this one does. When that bass hits

The mighty Johann forever changed how i listened to vocals in heavy music. His (and Blatherskite) influence on the Indy scene is evident. RIP Johann. #Cancersucks

I think Diane Ravitch had written about this in one of her books.

Very proud of how this one turned out. Without Prying Eyes is now on all streaming platforms. Enjoy and share!

Isolation Drills @isolationdrills.bsky.social · Jan 27

Without Prying Eyes developed via an editing exercise to create a song that relies on drones produced lap steel, shruti box, sitar, prayer bowls, and taishogoto. With strong Shoegaze roots, each drone builds on the previous until the song explodes in true Post-Rock fashion. #post-rock #shoegaze

Listen to this. You’ll enjoy it.

Me and Dino have been hard at work making music with The Secrecy and Isolation Drills. Last week, The Secrecy released, "Theresa." Today, Isolation Drills releases, "Without Prying Eyes." This song was a lot of fun and very challenging to put together. I really hope you enjoy it and pass it along:
