DESCRIPTION:
WATCH IN 1080p!! I always recommend headphones or monitors to capture the sound completely. This is all one shot with switching between 2 camera angles.
Welp, I'm back again, Jeff Fitzgerald, 18, determined to cover every prog-metal band under the sun. Animals As Leaders is probably in my top 3 favorite bands; these jazz-metal-funk fusion pioneers have torn my face off both times I've seen them live. This song in particular, CAFO, was the tune that got me into the whole prog-metal scene. Any feedback about technique/tuning/sock choice/mixing/editing/ or if you just want to tell me you hate my face is appreciated. Also I love you, and there's always money in the banana stand.

Big thanks to my buddy Nick Eastep, 18, up and coming producer, who helped me mix and did all the mastering.
