Liner Notes →

In the late ’80s and early ’90s, I was in a band called The Reign. In 2024, a couple of the band members launched a project in which we would mix some songs that we’d already recorded and then record songs we’d been working on when we broke up.

The first stage of that project — Better Late than Neverland — is finished. We’re working on the second stage.
