mini side project


Saturday, August 2, 2008

So a while back Bobby Darling and I were hanging out at Casey’s studio and decided to write some songs. We tracked the skeletons to about ten songs, but only completely finished one. I finally got around to mixing it with Casey yesterday so I wanted to share it with all of you. Bobby and I hope to be able to get a few more finished in the near future. We named the side project Zero Cool. And the song is called “Godzilla”. It features Bobby on guitars and bass, myself on drums, and both of us on vocals. You can listen below or download here. Enjoy!

    Huggermuggery unleashed. Jubjubs are happy! :D THANK YOU!!! The song seems like a resurgence of a classic sound and I mean that as an uber compliment. 0:41 awakens memories of I am a Heart Watson. The panned backup vocals made me look over my shoulder, literally, first right, then left. Am I alone? But hey Thomas, the site doesn’t give me the option to download it, so I think you should email it to me ;) Keep em comin!

  24. cheyenne Says:

  31. Chris Says:

  32. Camille Says:

    man the new durden album is gonna be SO good!

  33. cheyenne Says:

    i am so excited to hear the new album!

  34. Camille Says:

    Thomas, can you post the lyrics to this song?

    Is Zero Cool going to come out with more songs, possibly an album? You should put it on iTunes.

  35. Camille Says:

    Thomas, can you post the lyrics to this song?

    Is Zero Cool going to come out with more songs, possibly an album? You should put it on iTunes.

  36. gabe Says:

    just wanted to let you know that you are amazing and a great influence to me and the rest of my band. i cant wait to keep hearing new music from you. my band is new and we are all still learning. im the lead singer and your style and writing style both influence me a lot. thank you. if you have any tips to help me sing better or anything, can you please send me an email? thanks so much.

  37. kevin y. Says:

    oh…. my….. goodness……. thomas i think i just wet myself

  38. kevin y. Says:

    oh and thomas, the title of this mini side project is in reference to chrichton or the character from the film hacker?

  39. gabe Says:

    hey thomas. i just noticed people posting comments talking about you being on tour with steel train? is that the tour they’re on now? with the cab and the hush sound? if so, are you going to the culture room on the 15th? pleeeeeeease post a comment up asap. if you’re going to be there then i will definitely be there. please let me know. thanks so much.

  40. thomas Says:

    zero cool is indeed a reference to the movie hackers. hopefully bobby and i will be able to finish some more songs, we’re both busy with other things but we’ll find the time somehow i’m sure.

  41. thomas Says:

    GODZILLA LYRICS

    Clever, clever girl.
    Wherever in the world did this gigantic reptilian beast originate from?
    Calculated sums of nuclear mutations.

    French Polynesia had to release her.
    She stole my video tape,
    My mouth is agape.
    I suspect that this beast will lay eggs.

    Extraordinary pest looking for a nest in Madison Square Garden.
    I beg your pardon.
    You’ve created such a mess,
    I can’t wager a guess.
    You destroyed the city and yet I feel pity.

    French Polynesia had to release her.
    She stole my video tape,
    My mouth is agape.
    I suspect that this beast will lay eggs.

    Great size, breath fire.

  42. thomas Says:

    gabe, sing every single day. sing songs that are hard for you. too high, too low, too many runs, etc.

  43. kevin Says:

    hey thomas, i looked up Zero Cool online and some canadian band came up – you might want to be ready to fight em for the name lol even if your sound is better than theirs

  44. Ainee Says:

    Why French Polynesia? Just out of curiosity

  45. gabe Says:

    thank you so much thomas. i really appreciate it. and i can’t wait to hear new music from you. you didn’t answer a question thought. are you going to be on tour with the hush sound, steel train, and the cab when they come to florida on the 15th? in the culture room?

  46. thomas Says:

    bobby wrote the lyrics but i think godzilla is from the french polynesian area or something. we’re not on the hush sound tour, we’ll be on the steel train headlining tour this fall.

  47. Denise Says:

    yes yes yes :D oh please please please steel train tour had better come to the southeast. so will you be letting us know who’s playing with you?

  48. Camille Says:

    thanks for posting the lyrics thomas! do you have any tips for creative lyric writing? i can write music easily, but for some reason writing lyrics is very challenging. i cant get them to sound creative enough. my favorite lyrics of yours are probably from beware the jubjub or great affair. any tips?

  49. gabe Says:

    thanks a lot thomas. and if you come down to florida, i will definitely see you. so please push for a florida date!!!

  50. Mark Says:

    is there any way you can give us some kind of timeline as to when the new forgive durden music will be released?
    even something vague would be good… like ‘before the end of the year’ or ‘fall,’ ‘winter,’ or even ‘next year some time’ would be great…. please!

  51. Charlie Says:

    Dude, that was kick ass!

    You guys should make a myspace!
    Is steel train coming to pittsburgh with you?
