MENTAL BLOCK
Well we finally finished our demo for the Annual Salina Music Festival. So now we are working on some new stuff. Evan's brother, Alex, recently joined the band as the new bassist. Now we are looking for a new singer again. That should be fun.

allright, so evan and i did some recording on monday in my basement. no vocals for any of these yet. working on that. should have that up possibly later this month or in july. so about the four songs. of course, we have same sad story. it's the new version, much shorter and a little different. eric is working on his vocal part for that, so far he sounds really good. double life was on here last time, but we decided to re-record it anyway, but without vocals. allright, so Love At First Sight is a new one. no it is not a cheesy love song. it's actually kind of disturbing. love at first sight is about a guy who met this girl 30 years ago at a drive in watching grease. he pays for her popcorn because he sees that she doesn't have any money. they start talking and walking to his car. then she goes to her boyfriend's car and makes out with her boyfriend. the guy gets jealous, so he gets his knife, goes to the car and stabs her and then rapes her dead body. then he chops up the boyfriend with an axe that he has in his car. and that's the end of the story. it's not a true story. it's completely made up. i guess you could say that it is like Stephen King meets songwriter Cody McCulloch. anyway. we also did a cover/remake (whatever you want to call it) of Marilyn Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams. it's really simple, but it sounds allright to us. well enjoy.

Allright as promised, we have recording two new songs, Lust 'Til Death and Double Life. Having problems convertting the files to mp3 (damn internet sites wanting mp3. it would be easier to ask for wav files instead, but no they have to make it complicated). So if we fix the problem, then we should have them up here by Monday.

Allright so i fixed the problem sooner than i expected. These two songs are just rough recordings, nothing special. But hey we're not rich. Later this week we are going to redo the vocal parts and re-edit the guitar parts. But this is what we have for now. So enjoy.

Allright, the long awaited news has finally arrived. Mental Block will be recording two new songs next week, Double Life and Lust 'Til Death. Both songs should be up here to listen to by May 6. So hold on just a little bit longer.

Allright. You might be wondering why there are no complete songs on here yet. As usual Mental Block is still on its bumpy road. But things are starting to look up now. But I'll give the bad news first. Stephen (singer), Tyler (lead guitarist), and Max (bassist) left Mental Block this week to further make progess for Schrapnal. Shcrapnal hard rock/metal band was formed by them a little after Mental Block formed. It was fun jamming with them all, but we hope they do well. Now for the other better news. So I found a new guitarist to replace Tyler. His name is Marshall. Replacing Stephen for vocals will be Evan (drummer). He'll still play the drums so don't worry about that. We might keep Mental Block down to three people with Marshall and I switching back and forth on playing the bass parts. Later on we might find ourselves a bassist depending on how we're sounding. But now we are rolling smoothly. We should have some demos up here in later April/ early May. We will also be performing in the annual River Festival in Salina, Kansas this June. Well that is all for now.
