On a night in the summer of 2012 TDAD found themselves locked out of their practice spot due to a power failure.
So with nothing else to do they went to Randy's home workstation to record an acoustic demo of an upcoming song.
Two hours and a 30-pack of beer later this was the final product. Not too bad for a last minute session.
The ending of this song has guitars that go out of phase and fall apart only to come back together for the final note. This is hopefully symbolic of the future of music that the members of TDAD will bring to Cincinnati and the world.
