NOTE: I want to make a quick correction to a comment made on this episode about a band reminding me a bit of Gwen Stefani of No Doubt. I was confusing Client with theStart. If you heard that and was wondering what I was thinking, please go back and relisten to Blood On My Hands instead of Drive. Sorry for the confusion. I was having technical issues since this was my first and got rushed and a bit confused. As you can tell, I sound very much like I’m reading a script in some places and talking very fast, because I am. I’m hoping it will not take me too long to get more comfortable behind the mic and stop feeling like I’m just talking to myself. I hope that my vocals did not interfere too much and that you still enjoy the music. I plan on keeping most talking to a minimum so, no fear.
