I am Craig Gray. I was in Negative Trend and wrote all the music. The Rik L Rik stuff on Beach Blvd IS Negative Trend. We recorded it right after Rik joined so we had no new songs. I don't even remember if we had done a gig with him yet. I believe Rick Agnew did an overdub on a lead that I fucked up. The first release of songs from that session were 2 songs as Negative Trend on the compilation "Tooth and Nail". Rik quit the band and Poshboy released 2 more songs on a white vinyl single as Rik L Rik without telling us. Beach Blvd was the next release and once again, was not told about it. Finally, 2 songs, I believe "I Got Power" and "Mercenaries" were in the movie Nightmares with Emelio Estevez playing a punk rock kid. They were re recorded by session musicians in LA with Rik singing and credited to Rik L Rik. Rik died of brain cancer.
First of all a huge thank you for watching and commenting. I greatly appreciate the clarification. And needless to say thank you for writing such excellent songs. Just did a quick search and saw the Joel Gausten interview, which I clearly missed and feel silly about since I am subscribed to his channel. I will watch it now though, and I will definitely be checking out your other music. Thank you again
Okay. You sold me. Going to click on and listen to all the links...!!
Awesome, thank you Edwin! I very much hope you enjoy!!
This is next-level niche! Love it!
As the channel goes along, this is the kind of thing I want to be able to do. Whether it gets views or not!!
