Creevey Crisis is an Inferi
The word “epic” was conceived to find one word to accurately describe Manowar.
Listen/purchase: Too Many Summers (Standing In Line cover) by Creevey Crisis
This song was probably the hardest but most fun on the EP.
If you know the original version of this song (and if you don’t, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?), you know that it’s just a single acoustic guitar with one vocal track. I don’t know what Georgia was envisioning or hearing in her head when she worked on this song, so a lot of the fun in recreating it is trying to make it something she might have thought a full band version of this song should sound like.
Unfortunately, I’m not in touch with Georgia thanks to MySpace blowing away private messages (along with everything else), and I don’t have any of her other contact info. She had graciously given me permission to cover her song back in 2010, and I FINALLY got around to it :-)
So obviously this version is MUCH different than the original - full band, distorted, keyboards, layered vocals, and so on. Still, though, I hope you really like it.
If you haven’t downloaded this song, or the whole EP yet, it’s all completely free, so go for it!
Listen/purchase: Sacramende by Creevey Crisis
I wanted to share this one out, since it’s one of the “new” songs on the EP. I say “new” because it was written in January 2008, but never released. It was also originally titled “For Your Consumption”, but I (obviously) changed the title.
The new title itself, “Sacramende” was much better, for a number of reasons. First, it’s from Arrested Development, and ANYTHING Arrested Development makes things better.
But more importantly, “Sacramende” is a fake made up place, designed to mislead. The Ministry in Deathly Hallows was that to a tee - a false Ministry, lead by Death Eaters, spreading false information designed to entrap Harry Potter, and mis-educate the students and masses.
I hope the music itself helps push the meaning of the song, and it was a heck of a lot of fun to get my kids screaming together in my makeshift studio for the backup vocals :-)
Oh, and I hope the new Bandcamp embed works here!!!
Did you hear it on the Wireless?
Did you read it in the Prophet’s news?
Did you know the Quibbler’s gone over?
Now we’re stuck with his views
Trust in what your instinct tells you
Not what they’ve all been told to say
Trust in what your heart tells you
He’s still on the run today
No more of the Ministry’s excuses!
No more of the Ministry’s lies!
Did you hear it on the Wireless?
Did you read it in the Prophet’s news?
Did you know the Quibbler’s gone over?
Soon we’ll all be stuck with his views
Who will rise up and take his side
Will you stand with me and hold out hope?
As long as you believe, as long as you’re true
Wherever he is, he’ll never be alone

One of my favorite Crisis tunes, which you already knew :-)
This new version features my good friend Christopher Byron on lead guitar. He’s making his name as a fantasy author (and a damn good one, at that!) but he can still shred like a mofo.
Thanks for the tasty leads, bud!

Well, that’s kind of the point. You have to work for it. It’s a bit of an easter egg of sorts, when you get it, you’ll know.
8 track album
The new Creevey Crisis EP “Moving… Again!” is now available as a free download on our Bandcamp page!
There’s 8 tracks - some are my favorites from the very first Creevey CD that was recorded in 2007, when I didn’t have a clue about mixing (or guitar playing). There’s a few songs that were released as acoustic tunes, that are now fully rocked out. Two BRAND NEW songs are on the EP, along with a cover of one of my favorite unheralded wrock songs.
Like I said - the album is free; just plug in $0 when it asks and download away. Or you can pay a few bucks for it, I won’t complain :-) And while you’re there, feel free to grab any other albums or songs you don’t have. The price is right, eh?
Share it, reblog it, tweet it, LIKE it, and enjoy it!
The new EP was supposed to be out this morning. However, one of the songs did not export right, so the version on Bandcamp is no good.
I’ll upload a correct version tonight, and make the release public. Sorry for the delays :(
… That anxious timeframe right before I release something new.
It happens every time. The second guessing, the desire to keep tinkering and tweaking… anyone else get that?
I think I have finally snapped and gone the other way. I just want it to be music straight from my heart with as little production as possible. Maybe because I’m not that into production, unlike you! (Hence why I seek your advice!) Looking forward to hearing your new stuff!!!!!
I think you’ve got it right, and I’ve got it wrong - you go for the emotion and the musicality of it. Which I think is honestly the most important part of a song.
I don’t have the talent or ability to do that, so I’ve got to go with the production aspect of the songs - making them sound polished, punchy, finding elements to stick out, layering instruments and sounds, etc.
Personally, I’d rather go straight from the heart like you do.

This is a song I wrote thinking about how Harry is locked up every night and never gets to do that thing of waking up or staying up and just enjoying it being still and owning the world for a while. :(
Under the Stairs
Here I am again on my own
The door has closed on me
Dark is what I know
A strip of moonlight settles on he floor
I can make it out from underneath this bolted door.
I wish that I could climb these stairs,
Reach the window, see out there.
But I’m a prisoner and only see the underside
Imagining the night time
and the world that seems so wide
One I read about the power of night
A sort of magic sets the world alight
And I watch the back of the door
And the moonlight on the floor
And I hope that someday I’ll see a magic just like that.
I pull a spider off my pillowcase
Lay down on the bed and
Start to stare into space
I close my eyes begin to drift away
Far beyond these four walls
Where I wish I could stay
If only I could see the sky,
Spend one night that I’m not blind
But I’m a prisoner and only see the underside
Imagining the night time
And the world that seems so wide
One I read about the power of night
A sort of magic sets the world alight
And I watch the back of the door
And the moonlight on the floor
And I hope that someday I’ll see a magic just like that.

Always reblog Amy singing.
ALWAYS.
My favorite part of Undeclared so far? Ron and Lloyd getting in a physical fight over You’ve Got Mail.
My favorite part of Undeclared was everything with Eric.
I’m not too busy at all. As always, here’s the link. You’ve got a great voice, don’t know why you decided to use it on me for a little while. I really don’t know what else to say.
Amy’s song is awesome. Because all her songs are.
Also - I finally *get* this song, along with anything Avengers, since I finally watched it last week. I’m slow that way.

The new Creevey Crisis EP, “Moving… Again!” will be released on Tuesday June 11 on Bandcamp as a digital-only release!
The EP will be offered in the “Pay What You Want” format, meaning you can download it completely free of charge, or you can opt to buy it for a couple of bucks. Whatever you want is fine with me, as long as you like the music.
Once it’s available, I’ll post it here and on Facebook, so keep an eye out!
So there’s wizard rock (wrock), Time Lord rock (trock), and Sherlock rock (shrock). Petition to call Hannibal fan music “cannibal rock,” or “crock.”
I already called “crock” like, 4 years ago! :-)
