Guillotine, Guillotine IV, & GUILLOTINE 

Buckle up, kiddos!
In this final Behind-The-Music interview, I talk about "Guillotine", the 4th EP, the concept album as a whole, happy accidents, French retirement riots, BLM, ex-LA Mayor Garcetti, eating the rich, ACAB, January 6th, the dramatic nature of guillotines, American complacency, Leftist in-fighting, the importance of symbols, the need for tearing down old top-down power paradigms, and the possibility of true equity through the compassionate and efficient distribution of resources.

Blabbin about The Visionaries 

Hey kiddos! 

New interview about "The Visionaries", how hero-worship can go to your head, Kanye West, the absurdity of borders, top-down power structures, why you should DEFINITELY NOT overthrow our current corporate iteration of government, and other fun topics 😉

Re: Whatever It Takes 

Hey kiddos!

It's finally here! The final Behind The Music interview of GUILLOTINE, Pt. 3!

In this one, I open up about "Whatever It Takes", the lockdown, the mounting pressure to achieve the impossible, and the disappointment that, post-pandemic, we hardly changed at all. Plus, what to expect from GUILLOTINE, Pt. 4!

Re: Abnormal 

Hey kiddos!
Back with another one of those BLOCK ROCKIN BEATS! Abnormal is one of my most straight-forward rock-anthem songs, but a lot went into writing it.

In this Behind The Music interview, I open up about the raw emotions behind "Abnormal", the anxiety of living through lockdown, our dependence on technology, and the growing feeling that something has to change. There is no going "back to normal."

Re: The Monsters Are Still Here 

Hey kiddos!

Continuing on through the Freaking Weird Genre songs of Guillotine, we come to "The Monsters Are Still Here." 

In this Behind The Music interview, I talk about working with Eric Malcom Schreeck, oppressive power structures, white nationalism, and channeling cabaret during a worldwide catastrophe rife with fucking nazis.
