As per usual, my blog version will be up later today.

In 2021 I released a ton of singles, including one for charity (raising money for nurses during the Pandemic), a song that got played during a string of European football matches, and another that won me some awards. In January 2022 I released them all together as an album.

"Hug Your Local Shark" by Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders - available at all the usual places.

My new EP will be out October 18, 2022. 4 songs that were licensed for a movie that never got made. I didn't get paid either.

"Unfilmed Movie Soundtrack from the 1990's" will be available at all the usual places.

I drink Gin, I watch Anime, I collect cartoons, and I've been an indie musician for decades.

There will be a video available October 17th for the single, "Razor's Edge"

So as a musician I'm all over the map in terms of style. For videos though I always farm it out. I don't appear in videos - it's not my thing. I just go on fivver and hire someone I think can do what I want.

That said, sometimes the results a pretty amazing. Here is an example. "Kauro-chan" by Chris Reed and the Anime Raiders.

Testing a couple of features. Here is the video for one of my more successful songs, and the winner of the 2022 Radio Music Show Best Alternative Song.

Seems I should link to YouTube instead of taking up bandwidth on this site. I want to see how it works.

"Stick Around", available on most platforms for streaming and/or purchase.
