Driving Sawkill
Walking Bombs
driving sawkill wrestling with lost memories thrilled to be sensing the dead earth thawing out around me millions of spectres reaching up w stretching hands like the pale branches of trees like the stale topics at hand and oh my aching head all these thoughts colliding wondering if my days would have been better spent deciding not to beat my head against the wall again. a field of dead soldiers. a field of refreshments. when will you learn. i'm dog fucking tired. with miles to go before we sleep. when will you learn. oh my everything.

The debut Walking Bombs album turns 10 years old in October of 2025 and was never mastered until now. I figured I should fix that. Hope you’ll enjoy it. It is the most distilled essence of the project…the initial steps that made me brave enough to “go solo”. The two songs with the I Multiply kids are literally the first tunes I wrote for this project.

Recorded hot on the heels of the passing of my father amidst a very emotional time in Saugerties, NY… back when I showed my Beatles and Nirvana influences a lil more. The title track is still by far one of my favorite songs to play live, when I ever actually play live anymore (USX fans will want to check out Nate Hall’s absolutely scorching guest solo).

Cover photo is my kid sister Cambria and I jumping off our old house porch from where we grew up as kids in Shokan, NY.
