I’m just playing around with my new combo amp, and I ended up recording myself jamming to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

Our 11th Hour is a post-hardcore/metal band from Syracuse, NY. Their debut EP demonstrates the ambitious writing style and technically difficult playing skill. With award-winning members and innovative music, Our 11th Hour hopes to begin turning heads before their first full-length album, “Of Halos & Hand-Grenades” is released.
The album will soon be available on iTunes, [...]

So here’s an acoustic cover that has been in the works for quite a while. I recorded it around early/mid-2007 and finally found Jon IX to sing it. We were planning on doing a bunch of select songs from Drowning Pool’s first album, but it sort of fell through. Anyway, here’s “Sinner” featuring Jon IX [...]

On November 22nd, Our 11th Hour will be recording their debut demo EP at Subcat Studios. The tracklist will include “Bleed Me Dry,” “Falling For You,” “Untitled 2,” and “11th Hour (Part II).” The demo will be available for $5 at any show, but for the release party, a set number of copies will be [...]

I found an old file that I was messing around with earlier today and edited it up a bit to experiment with vocal effects. It’s a short version of “Hear You Me” by Jimmy Eat World- just the first verse and chorus. It’s composed entirely of vocal recordings with effects placed on them. I think [...]

I finished recording and editing a song that we’ll be including in our first full length album which is now called “Of Halos & Hand-Grenades” as a hidden song at the end. It really pushes the stylistic ambient theme we use to represent the “afterlife” in the album (or at least our character’s perception of [...]

I’ve finished laying out and coding the new official website for Our 11th Hour. It’s integrated with Myspace and ReverbNation, and is written with the writing style of a Wikipedia page because it’s what people who view music profiles are most familiar with. Check it out at www.our11thhour.com.

Here are videos of “At Nothing’s Door,” “Falling For You,” “Untitled 2,” and “11th Hour (Part II)” at The Mill in Syracuse.

Here are a few videos that Sally took for us during our show at Josh’s Dad’s 50th birthday party.

After listening to the original for the hundreth time, I thought it would be awesome to cover this song. The solo is so fun to play. I was experimenting to see what my new guitar would sound like using a direct input instead of mic’ing the sound hole. I’m probably going to stick with the [...]

Just got my new electric guitar today that will complete my setup for quite a long time. I got an Agile AL-2000 with a Floyd Rose bridge from Rondo Music. That’s where I got my other electric as well. Eventually I’ll be putting a custom raised pickguard on it to complete the look of it. [...]

This is the album cover for the Musician’s Lounge compilation where song lengths are all 30 seconds max. I thought this was a neat concept for that idea.

(7/6/08 Update) Check out the thread about it on Something Awful, or click here for a direct link to the album. My songs are track six and nineteen.

I just bought what will hopefully be the last acoustic guitar I buy for a very long time. It’s a Tacoma Roadking that I got used. It’s in fantastic shape and plays like a dream! It’s got a solid sitka top and solid mahogany body which is one of the things that turned me on [...]

I just finished migrating all of the posts from my music blog directly into the main website. This way I don’t need to post everything twice. Groggie.com/music now redirects to the music/audio category on this blog. All of the previous songs are here so nothing has changed, and any future songs will be posted right [...]

This is one of our favorite songs. It’s our closer and it is more on the metal side of the spectrum. Josh is still working on lyrics, so this is just and instrumental. Tom shreds out a pretty awesome solo at the end too! 1.) 11th Hour [Part II] (Instrumental) / 6:00 / 6.9mb
