Guest Vocals: Hate Dept.
The industrial band Hate Dept. put out a new album called New Ghost on 8/28. It's a really killer album, and coincidentally has me singing background vocals on "Broken Rule." It was a real honor to get to sing on a record by one of my favorite industrial groups.
New Music Video: South Side of Sickness
In July I released a lyric video for the Afflicted By Design song "South Side of Sickness." I really liked the way it came out so I spent the next month recording additional footage and cutting an official music video based on the lyric video.
Check out the music video...
Dreaming Mona - Director and Actress Wanted For Music Video
I'm holding off on releasing the Dreaming Mona lyric video while the search for a director for the Dreaming Mona music video continues. The basic concept is that Mona is an actress that's living on the edge of suicide, drowning herself in drugs and alcohol, because her fame ran out. If you know a director in the Austin area that would be interested in working on this independent production, hook us up.

New Afflicted By Design
I started pre-production on 3 songs for the next Afflicted By Design Ep. Like #nameless, it will have 2 heavy, industrial-metal songs and a song called, "Once" that's inspired by the Cure. The plan is to release the next Ep in the winter.
Old Music: Atomic Brother
With my last band, Atomic Brother, we had plans to release 2 Eps, but then my partner James and I moved to different parts of the country and things kinda fizzled. We haven't really broken up the band, just put things on while I did Afflicted By Design and James is doing a solo project. We talked this week and decided that we'll finally release those recording. So, I'll be handling the mixing of those last bunch of songs in between working on ABD and releasing them in 2014.
