I don't have the resources or know-how to make a real video, so I threw together one of those lyrics video things.
I was a bit blunt with the message, but fuck it, I do what I want.

Will check later. Unfortunately they refuse to pay me to watch youtube vids at work. And they made sure I had no speakers. Fascists.

Thanks! The video is admittedly a bit one-sided, but the disdain is quite universal.

I really like this song. Awesome math rock feel, great vocals, and a memorable chorus. How did you guys record it?

Thanks! I'm pretty proud of this tune. The whole recording process was a learning experience for me. The verses are all layered bass (a Sterling bass, go figure) all direct. I wanted a more distorted bass tone for the groove line, but it got lost and muddied up the whole track, so had to ditch that idea. For guitar, I used a '76 Gibson Marauder through an AC30 for most of it and a Diezel Schmidt for the heavier bit at the end. We recorded everything in my garage. Except the drums, those are all Superior Drummer. I wanted to use live "real" drums, but the logistics of getting that done were a nightmare. I think they came out ok, though the crashes sound like shit. I ran everything through a Mackie Blackbird into Cubase 7. Mixed with them bootleg Waves plug-ins, yeeeeuh.
