Alex Dezen (Damnwells-related)

Most of the bands that I'm friendly with have early recordings that they released to the public in limited quantities when they were young but now deny knowing anything about. For instance, when I interviewed Wes Kidd of Triple Fast Action many years ago and asked if he had ever played on any Rights of the Accused albums, he said no. When questioned further, he said, "I'm lying. There is a record out called Kick-Happy, Thrill-Hungry, Reckless, & Willing. You don't need to listen to that. It's actually a lot of fun, but a lot of people don't get the joke." Photograph evidence can be found here. And don't dare bring up Unleash the Cracken around the former members of Fig Dish. They claim that the CD is just a myth (hmm, I was able to hunt down a used copy over the internet many years ago).

So this brings me to Alex Dezen of The Damnwells. The first time I interviewed him, I had prepared by doing a ton of web surfing, trying to find out something interesting about his past. I stumbled upon a CD on Insound by a band called New States. The description of the 4-song EP on the Insound site says:

"In New States, Alex Dezen (guitar/vocals), Dan Hirsh (bass), and David Bush (drums) take their driven but delicate rock sound and merge it with solid pop songwriting. With intricate guitar work and a bouncing rhythm section, they have a comforting familiarity that still sounds new andkeeps listeners in anticipation. New States have the ability to maintain a tense, anxious feel, allowing them to easily shift moods. They use their three piece format to their advantage by playing with space and texture as well as dynamics. Hear their debut EP out now and look for scattered tour dates throughout the summer."
Here's what Alex said about New States when I interviewed him:

It was definitely poppy, the EP we made was definitely the poppiest of all of the stuff. There was other stuff where I'd scream and be a dork. Good luck trying to find that EP anywhere in the universe. I kept the name and me and the drummer changed a bunch of the band members and became an alt.country band at the end of college.
So, while posting this may cause Alex to never talk to me again, I thought Damnwells fans might be interested in hearing Alex's early material. And, if you are a Damnwells completist, you'll definitely want to visit Insound and buy the EP (warning: there's not much to the cover, just a very small photo, if I remember correctly).

The author of starfool.blogspot.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: Civilization is both man's greatest accomplishment and his greatest failure. Thanks for the info.
