Music
The End Times
New Jersey Ska-Punk. Recorded remotely from various locations including East Sound Studios where it was ultimately produced and mixed by Casey Eastmond. Performed guitar on all tracks. Released 2/2/2021.
Six song EP available on streaming platforms such as Bandcamp, Apple Music and Spotify.
Reviews
- The Duff Guide to Ska: The End Times produce a '90s ska sound that's a fierce mix of trad, modern, and punk-ish ska with blistering, Lee Ving-like hardcore vocals troweled on top (and the contrast works surprisingly well).
- Read Junk: Over the course of six songs, The End Times invoke their alter-egos and get you skankin' right quick [...] before you know it, the EP is over and I'm left wanting more.
Live Performances
AYA
Heavy guitar-based rock. The guitars on "Rush To The Editor" were creatively layered with synthesizers to create a wah-like envelope on each attack. "No batteries To Ride Into The Stratosphere" is an instrumental track textured with synthesizers.
Android Lust
Performed guitar and keyboards on the national tour for the album "Rise, Devour and Take Flight", described as "an unforgiving electronic rock assault carried across twelve powerful tracks."
The Rudie Crew
From the ever burning ashes with a new fire burning comes The Rudie Crew, rejuvenated and ready to bring to the world Skragga a combination of Reggae and Ska.
One of the original members during the formation of the band in the late '90s. Regularly performed guitar at spots in an around the New York City area including CBGB's, Wetlands Preserve, The Continental, The Knitting Factory, Acme Underground, and Coney Island High.
