Alan Ens - In $105,019.86 $tudent Debt

In $105,019.86 Student Debt

A new EP from Al. There's no shortage of great musicians on this offering, featuring the likes of Mike Cemprola and Ricardo Lagomasino, and Alan engineered it all in his living room. I recorded drums and percussion during one session for the album's lead off track, "Dark Clouds".  We got some serious tones - dig those vintage '72 Slingerland toms!

Mister Nimbus

Listen to the debut album from The March Hare

The debut album from Philadelphia's own progressive-agressive spazz-rock group. Yeah, oh yeah. Our first - and only - full length album. Recorded over the course of a couple years, this album was a labor of many things for The March Hare. Featuring:

The March Hare wants to make you laugh, cry, dance, clap your hands, and occasionally sit back and say 'woah.' We're silly when we're sad, and crazy when we're on stage. We make our music with our hearts and our minds. We make music because we can't imagine not making music, because without it we'd burst at the seams with sorrow, rage, love, and limitless joy and awe at the living world. We are explorers, experimenters, gatherers of new influences, and we do not sit still. The March Hare of yesterday is not The March Hare of today, is not The March Hare of tomorrow. We will have failed only if we have ceased to grow. You have found The March Hare. If you like it, tell your friends. If you hate it, tell your enemies.

The band lived from 2004 till 2009, and culminated in the release of this album and its accompanying video: 

ust cos you're a diehard fan, here's an EXCLUSIVE live recording from our CD release show on February 6, 2009. This is raw, unedited audio that captures the frenetic energy of a March Hare show.

Rumor has it there might even be a newer recording in the ether...

Juno Day - Blue Milk [EP]

The debut recording from the Penn State/Philadelphia band. Listen

The March Hare - People Dressed as People [EP]

The first recording from The March Hare, completely self-produced in every way. At the time, the Philly spazz-rock madpeople was a four-member band: Zack Guy-Frank on guitars and vocals, Jon Hafer on keys, guitar and vocals, Chrissy Tashjian on bass and vocals, and myself hitting things with sticks. Featuring 5 songs that would later be re-done on Mister Nimbus , this EP is a great introduction to the unique and fervent energy that TMH brings. 

Check out the review from AbsolutePunk here. Thinking about posting the rest of the EP and/or the 3-song demo we did back in '04, btw...
