Grimey grindy grungy goodness. Leverage The Heavy is my playlist of a large handful of metal/grind/screamo/thrash/crust/etc songs. Enjoy.
Sidenote: That’s me in the gasmask on the far left. Get down with the get down!
For Starters…
I love making mixes/playlists but being so busy working on the new album with Kserious lately I have barely been listening to anything besides what we’re working on. I’ve used this site (8tracks) for listening before but never for creating playlists. Pretty sure I’ll be making and posting more so keep your eyes peeled and connect with me >> Besatree on 8tracks

Just Breathe
I am very excited to finally be releasing Just Breathe. I have recorded this track more times than I can count trying to get a version I was happy with… but finally I did. This song is about taking a minute when things get out of hand or when you lose control…. finding that moment to just breathe. This is the first track that I am making available through major retailers like Itunes, Amazon MP3, etc so PLEASE help support if you like it… if you don’t have a buck, even a share will help. Thanks so much to everyone for the continued support, means the world to me. Links to sellers after image >>
Purchase JUST BREATHE on:
(I will be updating this list as it becomes available with more sellers)
Itunes
Amazon MP3
Google Play
CD Baby
Zune
Bandcamp
Last.fm
Duct Tape
No Thanks.
Real cute saying you’re looking for indie artists to feature for your blog/magazine… Then try and charge us $65 for “editing fees”?!?! It’s a WordPress blog, I’ve been running one for years… (and as a matter of fact, THIS is it!) For the editing you’d actually do I wouldn’t give you shit anyways. I’m not paying you to figure out how to use a USER-FRIENDLY interface.
Ripping off artists is weak…. Especially indie artists who really working hard.
So, this is a heads up for all my artist friends…. Try and make sure the services you’re looking at are legit, try and think about it from an outsiders perspective… Does it make sense that an indie artist would be paying editing fees for a magazine article??
These guys should be advertising indie artists to the public, not advertising to indie artists for publicity.

FAWM (February Album Writing Month)
Can’t even remember how I stumbled into finding F.A.W.M. (February Album Writing Month). I had previously heard of National Novel Writing Month, but nothing in regards to music. The idea with FAWM is to create an album in the month of February, 14 1/2 songs. Check the the site for more of the guidelines – FAWM.org
For me, FAWM sounded appealing because I have a bad habit of starting projects with good momentum, then very quickly becoming distracted by the sound of another new project. This leads to lots of half-structures and skeleton beats with no meat. This sounded like a perfect opportunity to for me to exercise myself and at the same time force myself to find a happy medium with tracks much more quickly. I am highly doubting any of these will end up on a best seller list or anything but really enjoying the exercise so far.
You can keep up to date with me and my FAWM progress here: Besatree on FAWM.org
Pretty sure you have to sign up in order to comment, but if you enjoy something or have any criticisms for any of the tracks I have up there, please take a minute to sign up and say so.
As a final note, I highly recommend this to any musicians who enjoy a challenge or perhaps are just finding themselves musically stuck. Enjoy!

Valentines Day isn’t necessarily one of the holidays I tend to put a lot of work into. I’m not fully anti-valentines though, just doesn’t do much for me. Regardless, I do love my girl and these are some songs I made either for or about her. They aren’t the most polished songs but, you know…. Sometimes love is sloppy.

Love you B.
