I could sort of carry a tune. We
knew each other for 15 years and
out of nowhere we started writing
songs over email. Then we recorded
some songs in Chicago with
this engineer who had worked
with John Lennon and Cher. He
was on the last legs of his career,
I think, because he recorded us!
We just went there to have a few
beers, record a couple of songs,
and have a laugh. It was probably
one of the worst days of the engineer’s
career, but it was a lot of fun
for us. We continued to record in
New York and Boston.
That was the only band experience
I ever had. We basically just
wrote songs over email. Tim would
put them all together, we’d go to
a studio, have some drinks, and
record the songs. But with The
Incoherents, Alex had played in
bands in New York since the late
80s and Jared and Jordan Barel
grew up playing in bands. They
used to play in the New Brunswick
punk scene back in the early to mid
2000s. So all those guys were very
versed in the rock and roll world.
I was just always a huge fan, so I
kind of faked my way into it.
