Jon Stein is one of my oldest friends and we have been making music together since our early teenage years. I produced his band, Jo(h)nband, in college but aside from that we had never released any music together.
Over the last few years, Jon and I have written and recorded a large amount of demos that we'd like to eventually polish up and release to the world. He and I live in different states and it can be difficult to allot enough time when we see each other to plan out a larger scale release.
So, in the mean time, we wanted to release two of our personal favorites from last year, which became The Thunderpig Demos. We had the pleasure of welcoming Cara Greene (also of Jo(h)nband) to sing lead vocals on "What Else?"
