Music is Medicine
Let’s have a connection that isn’t dependent on social media platforms.
I write a lot of songs.
I don’t play out much.
I love moss and peepers.

The Folks Below
The Folks Below
Released May 17, 2013
This debut self-titled release from The Folks Below reclaims and weaves stories from the underbelly of a burning city once consigned to oblivion.
The word on the street is that The Folks Below have excavated a number of clay plates made by the YerYerOwn. Each had the appearance of an ordinary piece of pottery with an incised spiral decoration on the underside. Upon closer examination we realized the spiral had to have been mechanically produced. While researching methods available to the YerYerOwn we used a copper cone to trace the spirals. A resounding cry of joy bounced off the walls of the vacant speakeasy when the first plate was tested. The YerYerOwn had disguised these clay recordings as everyday dinner plates. It is known that the YerYerOwn employ many methods to conceal messages from outsiders. This is the first of this method we have found. Of the XXXI plates we unearthed
XI have been decoded.
The sonic “quality” of the audio we could get from the plates was not fit for a proper release so we recreated what we heard and recorded it in a state of the art studio.

HUMANWINE – Fighting Naked
Released May 1, 2007 / Re-released March 14, 2014
Fighting Naked takes you a little deeper into Vinland. Why Fighting Naked?
“Because the weapons are our minds and the pens we use to vote. We are the ARMY THAT ISN’T HERE TO FIGHT. We march. We hold our Sign high so the cameras can see, so the world can see. We know more people give a shit than don’t ESPECIALLY if they are allowed to see the truth,” says a YerYerOwn while spinning clay pottery in an underground parlor. Meeting places like this are common amongst the YerYerOwn or Abrogated Munificents, as the Not-Me refers to them in the Horde memos coming from the Dept. of Fear.
Concepts and stories resembling real life people or places are completely by chance or are they?
Recorded at Mark Sandman’s old house & Camp Street

Early Unauthorized Release September 13, 2004
Released October 5, 2004
Long story short – Originally this was going to be a demo but it got hijacked and released as a record by a guy who is dead now. (natural causes)
We made it an official Nervous Relatives Records release October 5, 2004 after we realized the hijacking but we were never happy with the production. It was supposed to be a demo.
The songs will be up shortly.
Recorded during 2003 in a barn in a remote town in Ontario Canada owned by a man who ran away from the circus who told us to come up there and record after seeing Holly Brewer on a TV documentary about sexual abuse in the Jehovah’s Witness Religion. He put us up in a house that we had to cross open fields of coyotes to get to – in the middle of the winter with animals on a farm that were dying of frostbite all around us. Holly became an unlicensed veterinarian that year on the farm. The smell of death was everywhere – we should have known.

Veil
Veil – Xe.
Released September 1, 2002
Veil is what would later become HUMANWINE. A bunch of the songs from this record went on to appear in later HUMANWIINE releases.
This was the second release from Nervous Relatives Records.
A bunch of my metalhead friends from a farmhouse in NH convinced me to start a band to get my songs out into the world. I’m so thankful they did.
