For the past few weeks I've been posting old live videos of my 90's band Pure. It's been quite a lot of fun to re-experience those days from more than 30 years ago.
Here's a few of the full song clips I've cleaned up so far.
Special thanks to Dan Maynard for not only videoing all these shows while doing lights for the band, but even finding a working camera for us to transfer the old tapes from. It's great looking back at these days!
Headlong Hearts "Creatures of Habit" out July 1st 2025 on all streaming sites.
The second full length from Vancouver, Canada's Headlong Hearts is a big shift forward in their sound. Growing on the strengths of their debut, What We Call Forever, Creatures of Habit puts the band in a fuller, faster style. With songs like One Golden Day, Canadian Shield, and Canada all pushing the tempos more like a folk rock band, Headlong Hearts is demonstrating what they've learned from playing live for the past decade. More aggressive, more dramatic, but still retaining the sense of beauty from their beginnings, the band is having fun with their sound.
Creatures of Habit is an eleven song, all original, album that features another wood cut cover art by the band's drummer Matt Brain. No only is Matt a great drummer, but he's also a wonderful artist as well.
