Anthology: Demos, Alternate Takes and More

Covid was happening, we had recently moved from the bay area to LA, and I wanted to put something together. So I started reviewing hours of tapes and discs of old demos, live stuff, interviews, etc. And then I worked with my old friend Josh Scolaro (who I had made Sounds Off with 20 years before), and we put together this 50-track beast. I’m happy we did it. If you have music, you have to put it out, OR ELSE they’ll never hear it.

“When the pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, I had only been in L.A. for a few months. I couldn’t go out and play shows or look for new bandmates. And I wanted to do something, so I started putting this crazy project together.So I started going through old tapes from the last 20 years. I found loads of home demos, live stuff, interviews, and covers that I had done over the years. You either leave stuff like this unreleased, or you put it out. I want people to hear the process. I think there is a lot of that on Anthology “ – David
