I recently discovered your solo album, and it caught my attention on the first listen, organic sound, great composition and melody, great amalgamation of styles well combined, interpreted, and fused, I hope it will be the first of many solo works or projects in this vein. Favorite track: Dead-Beach Bash.

Brandon Burroughs I heard this song on my instructor's playlist while waiting for guitar lessons about 6 months ago. It immediately caught my attention, and it was totally out of my reach. I haven't been able to get it out of my head yet, so now we're tabbing it out by ear. It's gonna be with me forever. Favorite track: '80s Artifact.

about

Somewhat of an experimental effort, this album sees Knight headed in a completely different direction from his metal days. While it's hard to pinpoint exactly what genre this album fits into, one can definitely hear rock, country, surf, jazz, and maybe even a bit of bluegrass and metal at times. While many of the songs certainly display guitar centric tendencies, it's the catchy melodies and song writing of these tunes that stand out the most. Something for everyone on this release!

An excellent album from one of the best to ever do it. Trevor (RIP) is a phenomenal lyricist, and the rest of the band are just as incredible. You will not regret buying this record! jared1084

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt
