DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE RECORDING PROJECT, or DERP! (get it, you guys?) VOL. 1: COLLABS. The word "collabs," in this case, is youth shorthand for collaborations and aptly applies to this batch of songs. Read on for really important info!

This is the first in a series of BANDCAMP-ONLY releases! It won't be on any other streaming service or on any physical media (unless you make your own!)

Here's the story with these songs...

1. Agree to Disagree to Shut Up - Originally 2 separate unused songs written by Grath Madden during House Boat LP2 demoing back in 2010-ish. I took the "best" parts of those songs, took some creative liberty, wrote new lyrics, gave it a new title, and, voila! ("Voila" in this case means "Here you go!")

2. Smart Phony - Originally written by, again, Grath Madden. Same deal as above: 2 unused Grath songs, took the "good" parts, made a new song with new lyrics and title. This one's about my dead ex-boss.

3. Escape to L.A. - Fucking shit... yes, music originally written by goddamn Grath motherfucking Madden in, like, 2007 or '08 or something. Repurposed in 2009 with lyrics and vocal melody by me. Defiantly rejected from House Boat LP1 by not me. (I'm not sore about it!) Here it is 13 years later!

4. Law Blog - Fucking finally! A song NOT originally by stupid Grath... This one was written by ME waaaaay back in, like, 2012 as an instrumental and handed off to Devin from The Hextalls to see if he could do anything with it. He sent back the vocal melody with lyrics about a hockey player named Bob with bad teeth. I don't know shit about hockey and, at the time, was pretty obsessed with Arrested Development, so... VOILA! Anyway, this was meant to be included with the first batch of Skinny Genes songs from 2013 but I ran out of time at the studio. Here it is 9 years later! I guarantee that Devin Hextall has no recollection of any of this.

5. (Reality Is A) Tight Five - This is the newest one out of the bunch by a WIDE margin and also a late addition. Written as an instrumental by Chris Grivet in early 2021 and handed off to me to come up with words and melodies. And I did it! It came out pretty cool! I don't think Grivet's even heard this yet as I'm typing this! Surprise, Grivet! You're welcome!

DERP! vol. 2 (Not collabs) will be out sometime between RIGHT NOW and after it comes out!

SKINNY GENES FULL LENGTH ALBUM CURRENTLY BEING RECORDED! Should be out early-to-mid 2023!
