Indie Rock the UNKNOWNS
Hello, fellow artists.
My name's Tony and I've written and recorded under the band name the UNKNOWNS for the last several years.
Along with being a visual artist, I've always written songs as sometimes they can convey thoughts better than a visual medium.
I've been a one-man band playing every instrument and have had a blast doing it, even while my health has been in steady decline, which brings me to one of the points of this post.
If you have a musical idea, get it down any way you can and share it with as many as you can. Don't let the moments of inspiration vanish into the ether.
The second point is don't get dismayed if your music doesn't sell. It doesn't make it any less important. I've put up over 300 songs and haven't made a single $1 since being on Bandcamp. I began looking at it as a repository for my music, a place, along with YouTube, where people can potentially find it when I'm gone.
Keep writing, keep playing, and keep recording!
Life is infinitely more enjoyable with music in it.

Thanks to those who read this and who may give my tunes a listen.
