"memories" is a record written over the span of 2 years about my struggle with anxiety and depression and other shitty topics like that. i wrote and recorded the entire thing within the grounds of my home, with most work being done in my basement and shed.

a lot of people have told me that if you want to record, you need to save up, go somewhere professional, don't waste your time. and i will be the first to say, that's such bullshit. you can do anything you want to do if you set your mind to it. this record is was conceived, created, and released entirely DIY. if i can do it, so can anyone else.

with that being said, there are a few people that need to be thanked:

thanks to my mom and dad for being incredibly supportive, no matter what through anything. i don't know many parents who would let their 17 year old track drums in a shed until midnight.

speaking of drums, thanks a million to ben tufts. i will never be able to repay him for everything he's done and will continue to do, he's the best. and a fucking killer drummer, the best i've ever and probably will ever meet. listen to his projects, he's on another level.

thanks to joey burcham for being the best throughout this entire process and for making this record sound like a garage band on steriods just like i described when we first skyped about this project. get your records done at phoenix. for real.

thanks to jason smith for letting me use a picture of him for the artwork and to chester copperpott for making it look all pretty and fancy. friends are cool.

thanks to keegan del rio and adrian velazquez for coming to my house with 2 hours notice to track gang vocals with me. listen to the offbrands.

alright and here is a lot of names. thanks to harry jay smith, darryl rahn, rivers langley, brian erickson, andrew young, kadena lamay, and probably some other people i'm forgetting, but these people listened to the record before it was released and said it was cool, and i am eternally grateful.

there's definitely people i'm forgetting to thank right now, and i'm so sorry if i forgot you, i promise you're the best and i love you for you.

here's just some unrelated to the record thanks that i want to get off my chest:

thanks to jen from jammin' java, you rule.
thanks to derek evry and matthew berry, you guys make dope music and are just dope people to me, even when you don't have to be.
thanks to tina from the danny clinch gallery, you are the coolest punk i've ever met.
thanks to omar, shelley, and all the other peeps from evergreen, you are my favorite people.
thanks to mrs. beckman for being so excited to watch my music video.

thanks to jaden smith.

punk rock not guns.

michelle obama for president.
