"Skydiver" is the lead-off track on my vs. the Ants EP. Strangely, bass tends to be an afterthought on my own material, and this was probably only the second or third time I played the song top to bottom on bass.

"Weekend" is an experimental track featuring Matt DeMatteo's unique drum programming, and vocal samples from my voice mail. A hidden bonus track on the EP.

Really more of a glorified doodle than a song... Recorded by Matthew Gerrard, who moved to LA to produce and write for mega-selling pop acts such as Eden's Crush and (Backstreet Boy) Nick Carter. He's also an incredible bass player! Randy Cooke on drums, Matthew on keys, and me on stringed instruments. That bubbly sound is me tapping the bass strings with a slide and adding delay. The snakey backward bass noise was made using my Boomerang pedal.

Not only is he the host of CBC's weekly TV show "Play," a member of now-dormant Moxy Fruvous, an anti-Starbucks crusader and Martina Sorbara's manager, he's also an astronaut! Chris Lamont on drums and Justin Abedin on guitar.
