The Long Awaited SECOND Lowtide Album!
Ok some guys have been bugging me to put this up for like years, so I finally got the balls to upload the tracks online. This is our second cd, we titled it "3." And no it has no connection to Chickenfoot. We called it that because like a year ago when we did the artwork, our original bass player had quit, so he's the dead fish on the front, and there were three of us left...hence the 3. Duh right? Of course now he's back, so it makes little sense, but my cousin did the artwork, so we're keeping it. Our bass player doesn't mind, he thinks it's funny. I mean he quit at the time, he wasn't kicked out.
I'm not super proud of the songs. Most of what we recorded were the tracks that we didn't think were good enough for the first CD, but at the time 7 years ago we didn't have enough new stuff completely finished that we liked, so we opted to record stuff we left off the first CD for whatever reason. Some songs definitely should have been on the first one, and some were "eh let's do it anyway just so we have it documented somewhere." We also didn't have near the budget we did the first time so the vocals weren't done in an amazing studio like the first time, we had to work with what we had. The guitars are more to my liking, they're more hard rock, less "metal," but the sound didn't come out the way I hoped. At this point, I just want it to be done in my mind by putting it out there, it ain't gonna get any better. We've all listened to it and cringed at a lot of stuff, but as the saying goes, "it is what it is."
As for what guitars I used on this album, I actually wrote them down in case I needed to fix anything later on I knew what axe to use. On all the distorted rhythm tracks (I'm on the left channel btw), I used my VH Rasta with an EVH Frankenstein pickup. On anything clean, I used my Dave Murray Superstrat Replica...I just recently made it into a Dave Murray replica...because why not.I used the neck pickup, which is an SD Jazz...great pickup FYI. On the solos I again used my VH Rasta on everything except for "Little Strummer" where I used my '96 Peavey Wolfgang on the neck pickup, and the short little lead line between verses on "Walk Alone" is my '84 Kramer Pacer Imperial...which I used on EVERYTHING on the first CD. Our singer used his beautiful purple American '96 ESP M2 Deluxe on everything. He does the solos on "I don't Know" and "Walk Alone." You can tell because they don't sound anything like me.
So you don't need to BUY anything, just stream the songs below. Bandcamp makes you put monetary values on shit, but you don't need to pay to listen to them. Go easy!
Don't say I didn't warn you.
I'm also uploading separately like what would be the inside of the CD with the credits and stuff because you can't see it on Bandcamp. Click on it, it blows it up some.

This sounds really well-recorded! So you did this in a real studio and not at home, I'm guessing (it can be impossible to tell these days)?
The drummer is killing it for sure, and you've got a good singer, which is like finding a unicorn.
When I heard the line in "Woodstock," something about, "I fly over and shit in your hair," I knew I wasn't hearing the Joni Mitchell song that Crosby Stills & Nash did.
Sounds like it could fit with a lot of the 2000-today modern rock stuff I hear on our "active rock" station.

T5, I love mesq but this weekend I'll be using good ol' hickory for the ribs and poultry. We got some light showers at the moment but hopefully it will clear up in the next few days. Hope you all...
