A band I joined at 16 or 17, can’t remember.   There was a lot of great times. Some pretty shitty ones. Lot’s of band drama that annoys me. I talked about it on an episode of y2cl-Radio once. Am I glad I was in this band? Yes. Do I wish I would have spoken up more or left sooner when the bullshit started? Also yes.


 

We went by a few names.

In order:

  • Meriwether
  • The Shakes
  • Mihr
  • Ardus

The first recording I was apart of with this pant. We would these out at shows. I played bass on this record. 

Track listing:

  1. Burden (5:58)
  2. Time is Short (6:00)
  3. Underdog (4:36)
  4. No One Ever Sees (7:24)

Wander Home is a pretty great record if I don’t say so myself. Pretty proud of this one. It was my second time recording in a studio. Felt like a real band. We did a photo shoot (I’m the one on the far left), we had art, we made CDs, we sold CDs. 

Interesting side note: I never actually got one of these until 2022. I also have no idea why I’m credited as “Neuton”

Anyway, I played bass on this. 

Technically I didn’t record anything for this album. I did however help write it before I quit. Lot’s of band drama happened and I chose to leave. The guys hired Tony Reed to play drums and engineer this record and recorded it. The band broke up about a year later. 

This one you can actually listen to over at bandcamp.
