Adventure Thing #2.4 - "Chain Wallet Rock" & The Near Future Acoustic Demos (Patreon)

This week's track may win the award for oldest song in the collection - but I'm happy to share it and actually think it would be a great one to re-do for Side Quest.

Unreleased Track - "Chain Wallet Rock" (Live at Martyrs in 2009)

I actually wrote this track back before I Fight Dragons, in a short-lived band called Red Line District. The only song to really survive from that era is "No One Likes Superman Anymore." - fun fact, Hari was actually at one of the handful of Red Line District live shows and loved that song so much that he wanted to join a band with me. But there were a handful of other songs I wrote during that period that we tried out with IFD in the early days, and this is definitely my favorite of those. We actually used to play it at live shows, and this recording is from an early 2009 show at Martyrs in Chicago. It's not our best performance, but there's actually never been a studio version of this song, so it's what all we've got! Maybe it's time to correct that...

Semi-Released Tracks - "The Near Future" Acoustic Demos

A conversation on the Discord a couple weeks ago made me dig up the old acoustic demo of "Battle" from The Near Future, and I realized it could be really fun to share the acoustic demos from the whole song cycle. So here they are! I'm breaking my 4-5 songs per post rule here, but since these are all basically versions of fully-released songs I'm just going to roll with it. I hope you enjoy! (the back half of the album mostly didn't have acoustic demos, but I did include the acoustic demo of "Always")

Listen up!!

Also, one final note: give all of the tracks released so far a good listen, because we've strategically released all of the ones we're considering doing new studio versions of, and next week we're going to be doing a Poll to get your opinions on which songs should be re-recorded!
