Christopher Brown “Lost Year”

A new throwback: this is my rediscovered and finished 2009 skate part. Basically a continuation/ left over/ following year of “Dirty Maneuver” (2008).
The footage was mostly filmed by Ryan Cambage and Casey Schultz throughout 2009 in various Upstate, NY locations – Saratoga, Glens Falls, Lake George, Warrensburg, & Wilton.
It was all shot on MiniDV tape via an SD Sony Handicam and fisheye lens attachment. The footage was captured and sorted over the years until this month when I finally reviewed, arranged, and edited it.

Music by Devon Williams
“Bells” from Carefree, 2008 Ba Da Bing! and “New Guidance” from Beyond the Beyond, 2015 self released.

Full credits and thank you’s at the end of the video.

The King Of Nothing Nowhere

On September 29th,2016 I turned 30 and released my first collection of songs/ album under the name The King Of Nothing Nowhere. ‘Jewel-less Crown’ is a semi-nostalgic, lofi compilation of years of songs throughout my twenties that have come to exist either by experimenting in the moment or through moments, or laying down/ reworking some songs that had come to be instead of letting them be forgotten. Dabbling in acoustic, electronic loops, experimental folk punk, poetry, and written, half-written, and winged songs, I figured I would share this collection as something not to be forgotten, as making these songs as helped me over the years, and it’s important not to forget where you come from and the bad as well as good times for means of growth.

All original creations, either re-recorded or re-worked, or created anew in some way by Christopher Brown, ranging approximately from 2008 to 2016 while living in Wilton, South Glens Falls, & Saratoga NY, and Burlington, VT.

“Anxiety” by Contact Kiss

While we were still all together in Saratoga and banging out that music video, Contact Kiss recorded 1 NEW song, and probably the last for a while, “Anxiety.”

The song has screaming of course, but a more ‘mature’ sound that isn’t so high-pitched and brutal. Musically it’s the same CK format but more sludgy then fast, blast-beat punk. There’s still a noisy, non-sense guitar solo of course. It’s a different sound for the band for sure, but we’re always changing it up since we record once every 1 or 2 years?

Check it out and download our entire discography which will be released (hopefully) on black chrome cassettes in the UK under the label OhrProblem
We’re exited.
