The RPM Challenge - Mike van Austin

About

Description:

About 38 minutes of electric-guitar based music (for the most part). Most songs just mumble the lyrics, because that's how I roll. Most people can't tell that they're not real words, so I figured why bother?

The best songs are probably Whoa o o o and Johnny Presley '64, but I also like Chicken knows that I'm somewhere and Nanana nanana a lot.

Group Members:

I did it all myself. Some songs used the drum machine patterns, others I did by hand.
