A few hours to go for #bandcampfriday! I hope folks spent some time checking out some musicians, perhaps supporting a few! I have! To commemorate the day, one more share from our catalog. It's by far the most different album of all of ours - Hero:

https://victimcache.bandcamp.com/album/hero

This came out from the desire for John and I to really want to do live shows, something at the time folks kept telling us we needed to do. But we kinda wanted to do it our way. Chipsurf Pipeline, our first album, wasn't something that is easy to truly play "live" - and we wanted to, in the spirit of our band, sort of push the envelope.

During this time our band grew to include Landon Foster on hand drums and Katy Gonzales on violin and viola. We honestly didn't have as many live shows as I think we wanted, and admittedly I was kinda critical to our live shows though they were fun! It's perhaps the most fun we've had in the band! Not to say we don't have fun now but it was a hella good time!

I was reminded by this album because I was looking at our Bandcamp statistics for the day and noticed someone pulled up our live cover of Wish You Were Here. It's one of the few live songs we were able to record fairly decently, though alas this recording didn't include Katy or Landon.

Anyways! If you're looking for something, erhm, way different from what we normally do, this album is it! It's a story about what was original a fake jRPG that turned into a real one thanks to a lot of hard work, mostly by John. It's available on Steam, "Victim Cache: The RPG" which also has its own soundtrack available on Steam and Bandcamp. (The game is NSFW because John has weird thoughts :P)
