New Coalesce songs recorded at Black Lodge
We spent a couple days with Ed Rose this month at Black Lodge recording studios starting up some new songs. The two new tracks we recorded are a bit different than anything we've recorded for in Coalesce past. With that said, I could easily see these songs fitting in …
Have you seen this Record?
As you can probably tell, I've been busy trying to get the data filled out for the "finally" Coalesce website. We changed the messageboard to look like the site, put in a history section, some free mp3s (like they aren't all free on the interwebs today), and a Color …
Vinyl History finally complete!
Hey, thanks to everyone who emailed in with the vinyl history for the Converge/Coalesce info. Especially Caroline and Tami! I got an email from Jake Bannon (Converge), Dan Askew (Second Nature), some guy at Very Distro, and a few others I thought would know the …
Lyrics coming along better than expected
February is upon us and it's almost time for me to go meet with ed, and drop the vocals on the 2 new songs, one of the slow zeplin songs for the reprint of that record on Hydrahead, and possibly a few other ideas the Coalesce guys are kicking around in our email …
Coalesce vocal sessions Part 1.

Where the hell is James Dewees these days?
I just hung out with James Dewees, Robbie Pope, Burton Parker and the guys from My Chemical Romance. Apparently James has joined MCR on the road as, guess what? You guessed it, a "for hire" keyboard player. I can't tell you how "at home" he looked dressed up in make …
Coalesce vocal sessions Part 2.
The second round of vocals went way better than I had hoped. We started at 9:00 am, and even with me and Ed Rose locking ourselves out of the studio, we made good time. Good thing that hammer and screwdriver was close, we took that mug of it's hinges. I focused only …
Somebody made a baby!
