Anti-Trust - Guilty as Charged
Home Recorded on and off 2001 - 2005

This page contains songs from a 'virtual' band Anti-Trust. These 'Guilty as Charged' sessions have been recorded digitally on the computer over the last few months as an experiment of mine. I've been pleasantly surprised by what's possible with a relatively low cost set up for home recording. This setup consists of Cakewalk's Sonar and a Echo Layla plus a few mikes and a Line 6 Spider II amp for the bass and guitar tracks...

All music is analog (guitars, vocals) except for the simple looped drum tracks for some of the unfinished songs. Chris Kontos provides the live drum tracks on NoPrivacy, AntiSocial, I am you, Sick Inside and Guilty as charged. The rest of the tracks use a mix drum samples and midi. The style of music is a post-punk/metal mix, mostly uptempo. 80's style punk and NWOBHM as opposed to full on hardcore.
This virtual band consists of:

Rick Strahl - Guitars, Bass, Vocals, Backups
Chris Kontos - Drums, Backups, Vocals on Sick Inside
(Andy Andersen - some lyrics only to this point)
