* Read Me * (unless you just came for the music, which if that’s the case you do you)
It’s been a long, long time coming but finally got a new video out that’s been sitting on my hard drive for longer than I would like to admit! Truth be told I got super busy with my bands and other things going on in my personal life, UA-cam took a back seat to all of it. As much as I enjoy it, I also needed a break from the hamster wheel of constantly creating and making cover videos.
Along with me getting involved with my bands, UA-cam began to become a very toxic place for me. I have a thick skin, you need to in this industry, or any industry for that matter, but there’s only so much a person can take. And the hate and negativity felt like it would not stop coming for a bit. I used to laugh in the face of those comments, but after awhile I began to internalize everything. I’ve since then blocked most of the hate comments that have come in and really hit sore nerves for me. And now I could care less what you throw at me but I’m just going to say this: If you do not have something nice to say, don’t say it at all. And if you don’t have something nice to say and you say it anyway, you are not welcome here.
The Wilson sisters wrote this song after an encounter with a sleazy promoter at a show. We decided to cover this song in retaliation for what Monica and I were dealing with at the time of filming this. And now I feel like this is a good re-introduction back into UA-cam with even less tolerance for hate, envy, jealousy, or whatever you want to call it towards people simply doing what they love and sharing it. Obviously my priorities have shifted since starting my channel, my bands come first and with that comes a lot of responsibility which leaves me less time for making videos. I’ll still be releasing videos, I don’t plan on stopping, but I’m not holding myself to the strict consistency I once did when I was working towards the goal I once had which was to join a band. I've got a few covers in the backlog and am starting to get into a groove with UA-cam shorts, so there's definitely more where this cover came from, but just know I may not be as consistent as I once was. This channel was a stepping stone for me to get where I am now and I'm excited for what's to come!
If you got to the end of that, I appreciate you and I appreciate your support while I haven’t uploaded a full cover video in months. The best way to support and keep up with me right now is to follow me on my other social media platforms and follow my bands on their socials which are all linked below. Now onto the fun stuff- a kickass cover of “Barracuda” by Heart. Hope you enjoy it and keep on rockin’! \m/
