This project started with a whim i had one day to record a new version of an Eric’s Trip song from our 2nd demo cassette called “BELIEVE”. Originally written by me in early 1991, i wanted to see what it would sound like recorded with my evolved recording skills and equipment, but still played with the same style and sound that we had back then.

I like how it turned out and it got me into writing and recording more new songs inspired from this old sound. Bringing me back into the heart of my noisy old gear. A 5th gen Big muff pedal i got for $10 from a Moncton pawn shop in 1989, my trusty old Traynor Mark 3 head, my wore out 4×12 Marshall cab and my Roland Space Echo that i also acquired way before they were expensive. I think it was $100 at some shop in Montreal early 1992. Anyhow, this gear is family to me and i wanted to really celebrate it with a thicker, loud style of playing and mixing like i did in the 90’s.

The record’s called the “De-Evolution ep” after the scrawled word across the back of my old speaker cabinet used on the cover art. It’s limited to 500 copies and available now from bluefogrecordings dot bigcartel dot com or from your local store through FAB distribution. A download code comes with each record.

Though not on the vinyl, i’ve added the Eric’s Trip remake here as a bonus track. Thanks for listening. hope you dig it.
Love Rick
