Here is our cover version of “Chinese Democracy” by Axl Rose, erm, Guns ‘N Roses. Which we made before the album came out. In about half an hour.

By popular request, we are making these band pics public. They’re ezackly the same, but the second one has been fiddled with.

Here’s the normal one:

And here’s the one that I’ve fiddled with:

So Zimmy and I hit the “studio” earlier this afternoon in an attempt to record our new single. Anyway, no, we’re not letting you hear it yet, but we do have pictures of the event for y’all:

Hey, everypeoples. This is the bog for the bland, I mean, the blog for the band. Our band. We are Zed Narley, the band destined to be bigger than KISS, greater than U2, and more annoying than Jonathan Richman. I doubt we’re gonna chronicle much actual progress here; more like random tidbits pertaining in some way to where we’re at right about now. For the record, however, we have two songs completed, and two more very nearly so.

I guess I could list some of our influences. Hmm, I suppose the main one (for me, anyway) would be Rush, ’cause they’re progressive, though-provoking, and Canadian (all three of which we are aiming to be; we’re still working on the Canadian bit, though 😉 ). Another big one for me is U2, followed by Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Genesis, Switchfoot, The Beatles, Nine Inch Nails, Sufjan Stevens, Arcade Fire, The Police, and Steve Taylor. Now, those aren’t necessarily my favourite bands period (though most of ’em are some of my favourite bands); they’re just ones I’ve taken a lot of musical and lyrical inspiration from. (Hopefully some time in the future we’ll get around to a metal album, and I guarantee my primary sources of inspiration will include Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, and Led Zeppelin.)
