about

In September 2012 Quote Your Pulse held submissions for a Halloween covers album. As I was beginning to go into another musical slump around this time due to getting a day job, the opportunity to record stuff I liked somehow perked up my spirits enough to, by the deadline, submit a few obscure covers and even my take on one of my friends' songs. None of them made it onto the compilation though, and looking back, it was probably for the better... I didn't have as much time as I wanted to be able to churn out something really good due to work-related obligations, but I did my best with what I had at the time.

After not recording anything for a month, the idea to make a full local acts cover EP hit me in the shower, and so I decided to pair up the one cover I sent in with three other local acts' songs I knew. Once again, I found myself not having enough time as I wanted to be able to get it done by Christmas, but I found a way. This is the result.

This is the first in a series of LOCAL ACT COVERS EPs. Don't forget to support the original arteests, go to all their shows, and spend all your money on their music! Do it for your country.
