video for the first single is done

I went all out on this video and learned a lot of new techniques. I think this vid will represent a "before and after" in my video production style.The next step now is to come up with an album release plan etc.Our Feb 4 show in Charlotte was postponed to March 2 because of weather concerns. I'm glad the venue was nice enough to work with us on postponing it because my brain has been in video production land.

what im working on

Album is done and i am now working on the music video for the first single. Its definitely the most ambitious video I have made yet. I am learning a lot of new techniques to bring this one to fruition. first album single will release alongside the music video, probably some time in April (sorry for the wait folks!)from there, I will slow drip many of the songs from the album as singles, because thats what you do these days. dont worry, the majori...

do i impress you? teaser vid

full song going up on all platforms at midnight!this song has an intro that sounds like another song for the first 15 seconds or so. the intro purposefully sounds stupid. it has stomps and claps in it. at the time I made it I thought to myself "this might be an outdated reference" but at the current moment, the #1 song on top 40 has stomps and claps. should be an interesting experiment to see who has a very short attention span and doesnt...

press photos!

we had a photoshoot the other day, and it dawned on me this was my first time getting proper press photos done. much more where this came from, but here are the fully processed photos we've got so far! some are just of me, some are of the band. Jordan Young did the photos. he's awesome

Older songs might have a bit of jank with trying to recover them for stem packs (seaside theme is 11 years old)

dont say the nelward patreon never did anything for ya

nelward live band footage

dont say the nelward patreon doesn't have its benefits...this is an unlisted video we will be sending to venues. the plan is to start playing in big neighboring cities, and unfortunately I live in the abyss of the southeastern United States so my options are more limited. Atlanta is a cool city though.https://youtu.be/R0KQ5eluPJ0the show was a tremendous success which is a huge relief. to be honest, I always had difficulty bringing people out...

what I'm working on

I got back from my tour last summer and got to work on new music soon after. as usual the songs were intended as a loose set of singles, but as I continued working I realized they worked well as a new EP. fast forward a couple months and the length ended up going past that of an EP.So I've decided this will be my first proper "full length" album. Mondo zone, nelward 1-4 don't really count as they are compilations of songs that wer...
