New American Camels

"Are you guys really a hardcore band or are you just fucking around?"
"No, we're for real."

We weren't.

John Grimes and Jacob Bailey of The No-Nothings got together with me in the summer of 2009 in my parents basement. I had just had a drunken falling out with my ex-girlfriend and quit college and Jacob and John were being harassed by a bunch of assholes, so naturally we decided to form a punk band. We got together and recorded twice and then we stopped talking about it. I guess we got less angry. We never played any shows or practiced; we just recorded some songs about fire and smoking and the South and Hiroshima.  We named the band after the brands of cigarettes we were smoking at the time. We all sang, but John and I switched off on the leads. I did guitar dubs later. I threw on some extra unfinished songs for the fuck of it, so here it is:
