SECRETS

Me and my wife Amber have been working on a project called 'SECRETS' for about a year and a half now. We're about to play our first show and will have a cd/digi release available soon through our label SEED records in the U.K. and Nitco Rec. in the U.S.

SECRETS is a genre of music coined by the late great Billman Harris called "Chill Wave". The music is very relaxed, electronic and catchy, some tracks resemble lullabys, others reminisce beats of Dan the Automator, or P.M. Dawn.

Our album cover is a picture taken by Cedric Bixler-Zavala(the mars volta/de facto/orl group etc.) that amber picked out. dig it!

EYES-East Moline and Rejects

 this top one is the REAL DEAL, the rest are just prelims...

EYES(a project of mine) is releasing a digital relase on the label Vicious Pop. VP is a wonderful label with a label head that is in a amazing band called Big Fun 4Ever. I love his music as much as his releases, not one flop in my book. He works with JUICEBOXXX, Titsworth, and of course BF4E. Well we've been trying to get a release out on Vicious Pop for quite a while. We discussed it a few years ago. But we could never quite work it out...Well, i finally got what i feel a good list of tracks to be released as our 2nd Album that is cleverly made up of tracks from split cassettes/cd's etc., comp. tracks. remixes done for us, and remixes we've done for others such as(Franz Ferdinand,NightWounds,Aids Wolf, Mute Era, others..)ALSO the unreleased track that EYES and Dr.Eugene Chadbourne collaborated on. All these tracks were made during the era of the band when Amber played saxaphone with us, and we had backtrax...so yes, this is a dancy collection as opposed to our new stripped down thrash ensemble. So, here is the actual cover along witha few rejected ones for boring measure.

5nakefork releases.

 The MIJA cass. was designed by John Olson(of wolf eyes/american tapes) and font by Sonny Kay, but its my band, so i posted it. makes ya mouth water!
