When We Were Freaks idea. Could be cool fleshed out further?

Some lyric ideas for that jam from the other week. Kinda like the name, An American Affair

A track Seth and I threw together yesterday in the practice space. It’s always a good sign when a track you’re working on leaves you wanting more. Just instrumental for now but leaves a lot of room for vox. You ever hear a drummer shred like that on the Geetar????

Extended version of this idea with a little jam at the end. Will and I have been workshopping some ideas to turn this one into a full track. I think the general theme has a lot of potential, even if this idea gets scrapped — the guilt, shame, embarrassment of letting someone down or hurting them

Just saw a post about Joe’s Story on an indie subreddit. That comment section is wildly mean 😂. I think ultimately some of them will end up liking the re-record though, so I’m looking forward to that. Just an FYI, we’re currently working on a brand new album. This was just a fun 10yr thing

This but the vocals hit the notes

Welcome to the Rat Nest

Thanks to Many Hats distribution I was able to get 1 Trait Bangers back on streaming. Distrokid can kiss my piss

More practice space loops

If you’re a musician, do not use @distrokid.com to distribute your music. Read on if you’re wondering where 1 Trait Bangers went… I ran a copyright strike against the use of a track from the album on TikTok, as directed by Distrokid customer support (which is almost exclusively bots now) cont…

Found someone who can sing

So we have this shared folder that I named, “No Such Thing As A Bad Idea” after an interview I saw with Aerosmith. They would have these weekly meetups where they would bring their strangest and seemingly worst ideas to practice to see if they inspired anything. cont…

This, but someone who can sing, again. Another Seth/Andrew jam. We’re in this mode of throwing a bunch of random stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks in preparation for the work on the next album. The idea is to fill up a bunch of folders with snippets to maybe inspire more fleshed out ideas

Another idea using a crunchy preset on my electronic kit and a classical nylon guitar with a bunch of fx

This but someone who can sing. Throwing around new ideas with Seth

it's already feb 16th for me , happy 8th birthday to #1traitdanger !!! @ahkatz5.bsky.social

Real 1 trait danger heads actually know that these two are intricately related. @ahkatz5.bsky.social

Very good

Box boys. Still looking for cool crowd pics from Bumbershoot if anyone’s got em

I’m sitting on a fully mixed and mastered 1TD album. Not releasing yet because we might do an alternate version of the album (2 albums at once). Maybe. We’ll see

I’m an ICON. I CONnot stop soiling my shorts!

Stay hydrate

1 Trait Escape is on sale for the Summer Steam Sale if anyone wants it on the cheap

Every now and then I’ll come across Reddit comments about music/our band/the industry that I have the actual scoop on, and it makes me realize that almost every comment on Reddit is likely false

Is there anyone that wants to play 1 Trait Escape but can’t afford it? I have some extra keys. Comment here or DM me

I’ll make sure you turn down the tectonic setting on my wooden drum next time

I love that people think I’ve ever written lyrics for CSH. That’s like thinking a 6th grader wrote Romeo and Juliet

Who’s got crowd pics from Kilby?

Drum covers have been awfully quiet since Scholars dropped. Too hard 4 u?

Think I just finished a track many years in the making. When we started it was a much different time

this is who you’re up against if you don’t play 1 trait escape.. @ahkatz5.bsky.social

Good
