Joyce Manor
I’ve been friends with Barry from Joyce Manor for quite awhile. When I was doing This Song Is A Mess But So Am I we used to play some shows together with an old band of his called The English Work Standard. Pop punk is something that has always held a place in my heart. The new Joyce Manor record is an amazing record of 9 songs in 13 minutes. When I was talking to Barry about it, he told...
The greatest poem of all time....
Everyday I come home from work and attempt to finish new songs for the next Former Ghosts album but feel as if I am getting nowhere. Inspiration works in very horrible ways sometimes. This poem by Raymond Carver called “Your Dog Dies” is quite possibly the greatest thing ever written about inspiration and maybe even the feeling of exploitation behind it…

So I am picking up the third Former Ghosts album again and continuing to work on it. The only confirmed songs for it so far are Glass House featuring Carla Bozulich and 90245 featuring Annie Lewandowski. I am super proud to say that it will be released once again by the amazing people at Upset The Rhythm. I recently finished doing a remix for TEARIST of a new track of theirs called Wiped Out....
Anonymous asked: What are your thoughts on 'neofolk' groups like Death In June, Der Blutharsch, Sol Invictus, Current 93, etc? Like Former Ghost, early Death In June was heavily influence by Joy Division. How about a Death In June inspired Former Ghost song or album? I know you would love dancing to the Di6's synth-tastic tune "The Calling."

Anonymous asked: You seem to be all about connecting with people and ignoring any sort of wall that might exist between you and the people that like your music. But is it weird to you when people tell you how much your music means to them? Do you ever think, "How can this mean something to you?" Is it a weird feeling knowing that your music may make someone cry, or feel some emotion or remind them of...
Anonymous asked: hi freddy, just wanted to make sure who the women is in the image used on the last lot of tour tshirts. thanks
I have been spending too much time lately thinking about Batman and how depressing his Sisyphusesque situation is and also how much of a psycho he is. Those who know me know I have been obsessed with the notion of self sabotage for quite some time.
Ok, so that aside, there are some very exciting things coming up.
