Burning Bridges

Written in 1981, ‘Burning Bridges’ is about newfound freedom and the underlying sense of apprehension that often accompanies it.(demo)

Run for the Sun

This pop tune is a lively takeoff on 60s surf music. Another Mick Ronson production in which he performs backing vocals. (demo)

S'cool Days

Recorded in 1975 and released in England to rave reviews, ‘S’cool Days’ still sounds vital to this day. A tribute to such 60s bands as the Who, Easybeats, and Kinks, the song is a teen anthem, a testimonial to unbridled youth. (Power Exchange PX-247)

Fear of The Future

With shades of Billy Idol and Bowie, this straight-ahead rocker is replete with memorable vocal and guitar riffs. (demo)

Night (A Long Time Ago)

Don't Wake The Dreamer


'Don't Wake The Dreamer' is a simple but memorable tune, one that can be easily adapted to a number of diverse styles. (demo)

Scum Heaven

‘Scum Heaven’ is part tribute and part parody. It pays homage to the antihero, the outsider, “the poets and the rockers, the thinkers and the talkers,” and asks the rhetorical question, “Hey, Lou Reed? How long is it going to take you to die?” (demo)

Listen to Scum Heaven

Canadian Boy

Another anthem of sorts, a satiric look at life through the eyes of the world’s most misunderstood nation. This catchy tune was produced by Mick Ronson. (demo)

Listen to Canadian Boy

Goodbye Jude

While paying homage to the Fab Four, this song is a bittersweet reminder of failed expectations and idealism. (demo)
