After spending the summer writing and recording in the mountains of Idaho, Joe Paisley delivers his first album- This Town. This set of highly anticipated, new songs captures Joe's popular, dark style and catchy choruses while reminding us what is important in our own lives; home. Joe's smart lyrics take us on a journey through politics, family and the pain we endure with any relationship. Joe played almost all the instruments on this album (his dad, also a musician, helped lay some bass lines). He also did all the recording, editing, and mastering himself from his bedroom in Idaho.

Joe's unique and dark style is easy to trace to his childhood. Growing up, Joe's head was primarily flooded with the hardcore sounds of Thrice, Killswitch Engage and 36 Crazyfists. After getting a drumset for his 12 birthday, it didnt take long before Joe joined a band and delivered to crowded garages and venues all over southern Idaho. Joe added to his musical talents by teaching himself how to play the guitar, bass and piano shortly after his 13th birthday.

As the years went on, Joe continued playing drums for the high school concert and pep band, while filling in for other bands around his home town. However, he kept most of his attention on his membership of the band A Winter After. Joe played rhythm guitar and backup vocals for A Winter After, and in just one year, the band was getting local radio play and attention from record labels. At A Winter After's peak, they were opening for bands like HIMSA and Haste the Day. But when the reality of college came into the picture, the band went their separate ways.

Joe Paisley decided to make himself a one-man-show while attending the University of Idaho. A handful of students heard a sub par recording of his old acoustic and harder solo songs and from there it started.

One month left

...and things are right on schedule. 8 songs have all their vocals, drums, guitar, etc. and (for the most part) are sounding like how I want them. I will of course tweak them more and more until I am happy with how they sound. I still have one more song to start recording and I am still deciding which older song I would like to re-due. Hope your summer season is going well. Toodles, Paisley

In stone...

Well... I think I have it all locked in. I plan to start recording my next album in about a week and a half. It will have 8 brand new songs on it and 2 redone old songs. I am very excited about all of this. "This Town" is doing very well on iTunes and I can't wait to get this new stuff out. The album art is currently under construction by Josh Harris (the artist that did the cover art for "This Town" as well). The title of the album comes from a new song... I will tell you the name sometime soon. Thanks for listening and keep cool. Hope all is well. - Paisley

Pictures and Videos

Hey everyone... happy April day! To bring in the Spring (with snow still on the ground in my area...pffft), I have uploaded about 10 new pictures and 3 videos (on you tube). The videos and pictures are mainly from the show I played last week in Moscow, ID. Videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x9_IHPXndE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSzkBBmdQPc Next topic... After some careful thinking, I believe to plan to maybe (...ha) rerecord some older songs for the new album, which is going to be recorded over the upcoming summer. I have a few in mind that I would like to revisit but will hold that information until I am sure which ones I will be "for sure" redoing. Another show this Friday. Yipee. Take care, Paisley
