Too Everything

I think I've found the "Dadcore" sound

⚠️ Disclaimer: This music was made with AI.

It’s not a band. It’s not a comeback. It’s a coping mechanism.

Created during a stretch of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and full-tilt exhaustion.

If that bothers you — good. It means you still feel something.

Not much to say here, other than this is me — processing emotions the only way I know how. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

As for the sound… that was a happy accident. I was messing around at work, asking coworkers to throw out the craziest music ideas they could think of. Somehow, we stumbled onto something that shouldn’t work — but absolutely did.

Reggae and metal.

Yeah. I know. It sounds cursed. But when we hit it, it slapped.

Hard.

I never thought brass would be the glue between the two, but man — chef’s kiss. We all just looked at each other like we’d discovered fire… or at least the weirdest groove on Earth.

Fast forward to later that night — things went south over something dumb. (An iPad that died, and a fight that didn’t need to happen.)

Way too long after that, I was just… feeling a lot.

So I went to work.

Not fixing it, not escaping it — just processing it.

I built this sound that felt like everything I was holding in: funky, bluesy, heavy, raw.

And in a full-on “fuck it” moment, I fused it with that Reggae-Metal monster we’d discovered earlier.

And that’s how this song was born.

A little chaos.

A little catharsis.

A whole lot of Wreck.

PLEASE let me know how the sound quality is. I tried mastering it with another app, and it sounded too distorted for volume. Not sure if there's a more technical term. This version sounds much better in my earbuds 🤷‍♂️
