So, last year when I recorded my Nervous Energies session (which became the Chicago Cassette), I was also able to record myself playing 5 of the Twelve Towns songs live for the TT LP release. These tracks were only available with the vinyl digital download of TT, but now you can check them out (and purchase them) from the link above.

Also, note the stuffy nose tour cold I have. Can you hear it? Someone pass the Emergen-C

Edit: Also, for whatever reason, Bandcamp lists them in alphabetical order instead of the track list of the album. Yo, WHAT GIVES Seth and Kevshelf?? <3

I’m DJing a “Pop Punk” night with my friend Amanda at Innertown Pub in Chicago. 10 PM. Cheap Drinks. Free Pool. So many jams. I’ve made a pretty awesome playlist and I’m pumped to jam it on a giant PA system.

Check out the Facebook event and get all the details.

I’m really excited to hear The Wonder Years cover of Anchor. This was a really fun project to work on and be a part of.

All the same, I still maintain that Chicago never looks desperate (best city)

We are BEYOND ecstatic to announce the signing of one of my personal favorite bands to No Sleep Records. Please welcome The Casket Lottery to the family. TCL to me is one of the greatest groups to come out of the Kansas City area, and i can not be more excited to welcome them to the family.

Pretty close dude. This was written in NJ, where I grew up and lived until I was 24. 6 days to write a song. 3 hours to record it. All of them are about things that happened that week. Completely spur of the moment and autobiographical.

IIOI started as this recording project, 52 Weeks. It was never intended to be released, distributed or even go any further than Week 52.. Was just a fun free download project between 2007 and 2008. I didn’t even start playing shows really until 7 months after it’s release in 2009.

The drummers on 52 Weeks are Mike Howard (from Fight Amp), Jason DiNapoli (from my old band The Progress) and Steve Poponi (from UUDD). Everything else is me for the most part.

I’ve since moved to Chicago and Nick Wakim has played drums on IIOIKOJI and Proper. He’s also the drummer for Stay Ahead Of The Weather and plays guitar and sings in a band called CSTVT.

Glad you enjoyed it. I know it’s overbearing, but to separate it would have taken away from the project. I suggest listening to it in 10 song intervals.

Thanks man!

For the very first week I will be listening to the album 52 Weeks by Into It. Over It. I think this is a great way to start my musical journey. This album was recorded over an entire year, with one song written and recorded each week. How fitting for my 52 New Bands project.
