There are two wolves inside you. Both are performing at the cool gig on Saturday (swipe)! Both are also not wolves, but some kind of waterfowl. (at Art House Gallery & Cultural Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqWuu3JpAwu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ta-da! I present to you, the cover art for the upcoming vinyl reissue of Semi-revolutionary & Bedpunk. This mash-up of the original cover art was beautifully crafted by @ryancatalloartwork , and will be exclusive to the vinyl release. Pre-orders are still up and running on the @lavasocksrecords store. These are expected to ship early spring, maybe sooner. I will post another update when we hear back from the plant. In the meantime, I’ve been working on an insert that will feature all the chord charts for these songs, which will be included with all preorders. Oh, and thanks for supporting the tape reissue of Semi-revolutionary! We sold them out and were able to donate a good chunk of change to help fund abortion access across the US. Here’s to more music in 2023! Yes, it’s happening! 🖤 Thanks for listening. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn9-kEVJw1s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tonight, @sarchasmband begins their stint of farewell shows at @924gilmanstreet ‼️ Swipe to see the full two-day lineup of bands coming out to celebrate another year of DIY antics in the bay. Tickets are available online or at the door (5PM). On Saturday, Alex and Stevie (of Sarchasm fame) will be joining me on stage for a preview of some new songs we’re working on. We’ve had a lot of fun putting these arrangements together, and I’m honored to be sharing the stage with these two! Hope to see you there, Nick (at 924 Gilman) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzUcZ2vbDx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another year, another reminder that @spotify won’t pay their artists a living wage. But, hey! I’m incredibly humbled by the sheer number of people that find some importance in my songs. Y’all are the driving force that encourage me to continue writing and publishing. The response to @lavasocksrecords release of the early records has been surreal. I’m happy to announce that we’re working on something new for you too! With love, Nick 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClnKX71rxtI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are some thoughts on “Cliché Filler Punk Song.” There are still limited copies available of the “Semi-revolutionary / Bedpunk” LPs. Preorder link is in my bio. We expect these to sell out! See you in November, Santa Cruz. More show announcements next week! 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3Z8LZPPl5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ll be honest with you. I suck at promoting my music. I like writing though, writing is fun. So, I thought I’d do a series of little write-ups about the songs on “Semi-revolutionary.” I’m starting from the end and working towards the title-track. To start it off, here’s “Jerry’s Song.” (sneaks in flyer to promote tomorrow’s gig at 924 Gilman in Berkeley, California) 👀 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjUJHrTr8XC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yes, it is the 21st night of September, but it is also the 10 year anniversary of my first full-length album, “Semi-revolutionary.” For me, this release was a huge breakthrough into the world of DIY punk and beyond. When it was recorded, I was only 17 years old (thanks, @zachsnotpunk ). I really had no idea where my life was heading or how this collection of songs would impact me later on down the line. But what I did know, was that I wanted to keep writing and performing, and I wanted my music to free be accessible. Truly, it was the catalyst to my last ten years of songwriting and storytelling. While at times, I’ve winced at the naivety of these early tracks, they feel earnest today. And to those of you who have found significance in this record over the years, I am truly grateful for your support and good words. That all being said, “Semi-revolutionary” will have a limited reissued on cassette tape, courtesy of @lavasocksrecords and @folkpunkarchivist 🖤. Just like the original run, there will be 100 tapes but with label specific variants. All profits made from the tapes will benefit the National Network of Abortion Funds. This time around, I will not be able to sell them between passing periods to my high school buddies. Preorders are up on the Lavasocks Records site. Oh, and I almost forgot… this run will include four bonus tracks from the original recording session at The Dial Warehouse, back in 2012 (exclusive to the tapes). On top of that, and for the very first time, Lavasocks will be pressing the record onto 12” vinyl. I can’t thank Alex enough for taking on this project. It started off as a crazy idea that actually worked out in the end. What if we pressed 2014’s follow up record, “Bedpunk,” onto the b-side? Well, that’s what happening- 18 tracks of angsty eagerness on a plastic disc, specifically remastered for vinyl. Over the years, many of you have asked for these records to be pressed and I never thought it would happen. But hey, look where we’re at now! Records will ship sometime in early 2023. Each one will be a mystery color, and the jackets will feature a new cover design. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciyj3sWpwY8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It feels surreal to say, but I’m going to start performing again in October. It’s been over 18 months since the last gig. @bellahangnail is kicking off a tour, so we’re playing outdoors (with masks required) at the Albany Bulb. For those who’ve never been there, it’s a former landfill turned recreational preserve full of sculptures and walking trails. I’m getting stoked for this one! ✨More show announcements to come..

Listeners, thank you for all the kind words and connections this year. 2020 didn’t hold as much creative output as I’d hoped, but I’m relishing in my feelings of personal growth. I hope to continue making things that feel relevant to you and your experiences. 🖤 https://www.instagram.com/p/CIT5al7g8HJ/?igshid=1557x1t05iaog

Interview + new tune up on Spotify, courtesy of @tlgpodcast 🎙”Play Along,” was a song I’d put together shortly before this conversation in June (3 months into quarantine and teaching from home), and it holds semblance to how I was feeling at the time: completely drained, yet looking forward to the summer ahead. 🔆 Link in bio! https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2VHdTA-Qf/?igshid=bp5a4efvyxnn
