Tour dump. I had fun. Back to the studio tomorrow. Also I’ll be playing drums for C4 at their shows in Watertown and Philly this weekend. Also Revenge is reuniting to play For the Children the weekend after that so if you missed the last show you’re obligated to be at that one and you gotta bring toys for the children. Also I’m booking studio time for next year so hit my email or text me if you wanna record

“I know our youth is leaving, but I still feel the same” An affront to falsehood and a world of empty words, Method of Doubt returns 4 years later with 4 new songs. How’s about those odds? We’re not gunna espouse the marketable factors of a hardcore seven inch that we already know to be good and worth your consideration as a human being on this shared earth. It’s made by them, for all of us and that enough makes it worth your 8 minutes and 15 seconds. 1. The Setup 2. Aggregator 3. In Unison 4.

Today marks 1 year at Sonelab! I’d like to express my appreciation to all the artists that kept me busy this year. Truly could not have pulled this off without all your support. It’s been a crazy year moving into this studio and somehow fitting European, Asian, and Australian tours within the first 5-6 months. Can’t thank all the bands enough for their patronage and patience. I will probably make another post about all the awesome music I’ve been able to work on this year very soon. Special thanks to @jmpizzoferrato for taking me into your studio, all the wisdom you’ve shared and for being the man 🙏🙏🙏 2025 shaping up to be an awesome year. Thank you all! -WH
