Not many things are truly free these days. If you start rolling away the cart with the hot plate full of bagel bites out to your car in the Sam's Club parking lot, you're gonna get some dirty looks.
Free samples my ass.However, you can lay some serious cash down on the fact that THIS is free, and what is THIS I'm talking about? I'm talking about the digital release of my previous full band's EP for absolutely FREE!

Title: Wake the Lion Presents: The Dellamorte Track Listing:
- Siren Out in the Dark
- Death Becomes Her
- I Am the Keeper
For the last 2 years I've been the vocal frontman for a southern rock/metal group called Wake the Lion. You can check out our tunes and info from any of these web pages: Myspace, Purevolume, ReverbNation, and Facebook.
We had a lot of fun playing our music throughout the local music scene of Youngstown, OH and people seemed to enjoy it. We even got our ugly faces into AP Magazine for the Blink 182 issue last year. Ironically, that's where our bassist, Justin, now has an internship as a graphic designer.Whether it was a crowd of a few hundred of just a handful of our friends, it was still a swell, kickin' time at any show. Honestly, some of my favorite memories were of us sitting in our van that we bought ourselves and sipping on beer waiting for showtime.Now, WTL has officially ended and it's pretty unfortunate since the band had been around close to 2 or 3 years even before I had joined and they really made a name for themselves because of it. If you would like to read the official statement of why the band ended, here's the link to the Myspace blog entry:

We're still great friends so no worries there.
However, as our final "hurrah," we felt that we would like to have a tangible piece of the band to walk away with and that's why we laid down our last few tracks that we had been w
riting and turned them into a FREE EP that everyone can enjoy.It's some of the most brutal stuff that I've ever been apart of and I'm honored that I was able to join this band and contribute to these song's creation. So, if you would like to download our free EP, hit up these download links and leave us some healthy feedback on Facebook, Myspace, etc. We would really appreciate it. Thanks!

You nice people,You can consider this my first "official" post for the HonestKyle blog. With that being said... let's get down and dirty!See, I'm super excited to be posting to this blog and doing musical things regarding writing songs from beginning to end and recording them because I seriously had a musical "wake-up call" or "rebirth" if you will. (Whatever semi-religious term you prefer) It all just hit me right in the face when recently one of Wake the Lion's guitarists moved away for better things.Wake the Lion is the most recent band that I've been a part of. I was the lead vocalist. All of them have been a blast. Completely awesome. When I think about it, I can't believe all of the great friends and fearsome enemies that I've made through each of them.
In the background, I had always been composing my very own songs whether they were solo acoustic productions or intended for a full live band. I just didn't know what to do with them so I made some recordings at the very least.For those that are already familiar with my side projects, you've probably heard my aliases of "The Other Side of the Fence" and "HonestKyle" before. TOSOTF was my alias for the acoustic guitar and piano compositions I threw together and HonestKyle has been the name of my fake little hardcore/rock band.As silly and trivial as both of these tiny projects appeared, I still put a ton of effort and time into creating solid music for both of them. The effort amounted to these albums:The Other Side of The Fence- The Benefits of Being Miserable (2005 or 2006)
- Killing in Retrospect (2009)
HonestKyleThat first TOSOTF album... man... the recording quality was just terrible. If you have it, don't kid me. I know it was bad. But I haven’t cried about it in weeks so no wo
rries. I recently released "Killing in Retrospect" and I'm pretty proud of that guy. It's my first set of songs recorded using all of my new equipment and software so it was a learning experience at the same time.The self-titled "HonestKyle" was basically the result of ideas that would end up on the cutting room floor of the bands that I was in at the time. Honestly, if you're just a vocalist, you have a very limited influence on what the music is going to sound like. So, the ideas I suggested that got pushed to the second string were used for HonestKyle.If you haven't heard any of the original HonestKyle music, I suggest you head over to the HonestKyle Myspace page and listen while you can because I plan on removing those songs very soon to make way for my "new sound."Maybe I'll keep one. Who the hell knows?So, I’m announcing to every single person that has an interest in my music, (the both of you) that I'm actually going to do something this time. I don't plan on just fiddling around with some songs and then begging my friends to listen to them. Not again.This is going to be the whole shebang that entails:- Music (That's a given)
- A Professionally Pressed Album
- Real Shirts and Other Merchandise
- Acquiring Musicians to Perform This Music
- Playing Lots of Live Shows
Now, I really don't know how long this is going to take me... but I don't really care either. I’m on an ambition high for the moment!In the mean time, this doesn't rule out my inclusion in other bands or musical projects by any means. I would still enjoy other projects with the intent of playing live or having a fan base. It just means that my contribution probably won't be as strong. There it is.Well, I think that's enough in this post. I just wanted to let you know that I have high aspirations, a whole crap-load of ideas to please my followers including free stuff and special promotions, and some extremely itchy feet to step back on a stage again.
