A Sunken Ship Irony on purevolume™

Acoustic / Indie / Emo

"I just write catchy songs," is probably what the solo member of A Sunken Ship Irony would casually remark if asked to describe his sound, and yes, he would be correct. These tunes will fight without remorse to lodge their way deep inside your head and once they're inside, they won't leave quietly. Just listen to the sound of Jay Jay's soft voice shakey with heartache though somehow still seeming confident, or his delicate yet simple guitar riffs , and the stage will be set to take in deeply thought-provoking lyrics, colored with an honest, heart-felt drive and the slight hint of questioning, seeking, searching for truth. Hopefully these beautifully simplistic melodies will inspire the listener and leave him or her with something solid to hold on to...

Watch for this artist as he cleverly spin his tales of sea-faring adventure and compassionate redemption on a stage near you...

The Breeze that Fans the Flame

I posted a new song. It's called "The Breeze that Fans the Flame" and it's available on our PureVolume site. I decided to write something with more of the "old school" Sunken Ship vibe to it. It's not that we're moving in that direction, I just figured the old school fans (Who I could probably count on both hands) deserve this. I'm talking about the OLD OLD... Like, when I was playing solo and we didn't even have a MySpace yet. I was handing out flyers at every show trying to get people to listen to the recordings of songs that I completely butchered live. We've come a long way since then, and credit for that should be given to every person that has been to a show, bought any piece of merch, or even left us a comment on PureVolume or MySpace. But absolutely none of this would have lasted this long had it not been for the very few of you who've supported this project from the very beginning. To the few and far between, this song is my thank you. To the rest of you, this is just one of the many benefits of loving this band.

THANK YOU ALL!!!

Songs about robots and...

Hello hello!!!

Last year we decided to give our listners a goft for the holidays and posted a free mp3 which you know know as "Island of Misfit Toys". What we never really considered is that when you give, people tend to give back. You guys have REALLY given back to us with all your support and we want to thank you for that. "IOMT" has brought us more exposure than any of our other songs, will be featured in an independent film, and even earned a place on our "Contraptions" ep...

This year, we figured we'd continue the tradition by posting another free mp3 for the holidays, "Songs About Robots". This time, the song doesn't really have anything to do with the holidays, but has everything to do with robots. And robots will ALWAYS be cool.

If that wasn't enough, we're posting a new BONUS mp3 this year called "Luigi On Ice". This was originally an instrumental Inches Too Short track, but the band has long since disbanded and the song was never used. We dug it up, shook the dust off it, and posted it it JUST FOR YOU!!!

Be warned that these songs will most likely no longer be available after the new year... So grab your free mp3s while supplies last!!!
