Tour was amazing. Listen to Cedar Skies - beautiful music by a fascinating dude who I played with in Columbus. I will begin recording my LP next monday the 17th... gotta figure out a couple unfinished ideas before then, but I have time. I am writing 4 papers right now that are all due tomorrow. Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! If you ordered a disc copy of Come Down, thank you. Your orders will be shipped out within the next week. Okay.

I just turned 23, so I'm going on a short tour this weekend! Check my "live" page for more details. Also, if you haven't heard my new EP yet, have a download! If you like it, please share it with people!

Options' show at the Beat Kitchen went over wonderfully. It wound up selling out before we went on, and we played to a packed house. The other bands killed it and it was really an honor to be part of such a cool experience. We debuted some songs that will be on my upcoming full length. I have the whole thing written and will be recording 18-ish songs hopefully starting this month. The record won't have all 18 songs on it, but they'll all be released at some point for sure. To take a break from the record, we're playing some songs we haven't in a few months at Quencher's this Sunday.
My main priority recording-wise right now is Dave Hennessy's new EP, Forever. We finished recording it this summer and I'm getting to the final stages of mixing. It's been a great learning experience and has forced me to broaden my skill set. Hopefully, it'll be finished soon, and I'll be sure to post an update when the release details have been sorted out.

new Options tees!

I printed up a new run of tees - all on white shirts, some with black ink, "sunset" ink, and multi-layered/colored ink. You can pick up one for the low price of $8 at my Bigcartel page.

My new EP, Come Down, is out for free on Bandcamp now! Download it or stream it here.

Options the Band will be playing at the Beat Kitchen with Into It. Over It., Hostage Calm, and an awesome special guest on Wednesday.

New Options out 10/30!

On October 30th, I will release a new Options EP for pay-what-you-want (free) on Bandcamp. It's called Come Down and it contains four songs. I mixed them at home for a few months and they are currently being mastered by Carl Saff.

 You can come see us play some of these songs at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago on 10/31 with Into It Over It, Hostage Calm, and a very special guest.
We will also be playing 11/18 at Quenchers.

Spread the word!

Finally updated the website, added a few much-needed sections and organized things better. I updated my shows, personal discography, and added a screen printing, contact, and press page.

A new, unnamed band (working title: monstertruck) that I am playing guitar is working on recording a 3 song EP.

Options the Live Band is learning new songs to play at the show on the 31st. If you haven't gotten tickets yet, hurry up as it's almost sold out! I'm also still tasking over the mixes for the EP as they will be released on a very permanent medium.

Guillemet is still working on finishing our EP.
