Five years after the last release, the new album "All I Lost Was You" is finally nearing completion!  Without saying too much, here are some things you can expect:

     - 70+ minutes of music

     - A mix of all-new tracks, and your favorite songs remastered

     - Digital and physical purchasing options

More info to come soon!

Just uploaded the entire video game soundtrack I wrote in 2003.  Details on the project, and why it was never released, can be found in the Shifting Tides song information page. 

Check it all out for free on the music page.

My official Facebook band page has just launched.

For those of you who've wanted to participate in a thriving MB community but haven't wanted to join Vampire Freaks, now you have another option. 

Hope to see you there!

I've added a new page full of ringtones from your favorite songs. They're all 128kbps Mp3s, and should work with most cell phones. 

Download them for your own personal use, or send them to friends.  Lyrically, I can think of a number of funny ways to use these, depending on what person you associate the ringtone with.  Be creative.  Enjoy.

The first release of 2010, You Wanted This All Along, has been uploaded.

You'll find it, as well as song info and lyrics on the Music page. You can also purchase the MP3 on the Store page, right alongside the other tracks for the upcoming album.

The latest song, Dragged Down Dreamer, has been released.

Also, the entire Breaking Through album can now be streamed for free. For those who've been hesitant to buy the album without listening first, now you have the option to play it until your ears bleed.

And finally, the title of the next album, All I Lost Was You, has been confirmed.

Expect more good things to happen soon, and remember to sign up for the mailing list to receive the latest spam-free updates straight from me.

You can now purchase individual MP3s from the album page!

There's now an interview on the about page as well as other small changes to the site. More to come soon.
