J. Wang (Dan Padilla, Shallow Cuts)

Not much to do at that point...It doesnt happen often, and everyone is human. "Imperfection is what makes us unique." That's what my friend Matty told me.

Jay (yokedevils) SPB: What brought you back after a hiatus from making music? Jay: I never really stopped making music. Over the years I’ve been stockpiling everything from small riffs and weird scale runs to “feedback ideas” and full songs. I just haven’t been doing so publicly or with a … Read more
