HERMITOLOGY
My name is Riley, and I play drums and write music for a band called Thrice.
This is where I ramble about music, sports, food, books, interwebbery, and whatever else I feel like sharing. I apologize in advance.
In addition to my ramblings here, I write a piece for OC Weekly called "3hree Things" that runs every Tuesday, and I'm also writing over at Flip Collective on occasion.
I'm the co-founder of a baseball-specific twitter feed and blog with my friend Ian, called Productive Outs.
And last, but not least, I have a bandcamp page and a soundcloud page that I'll be posting my own music and remixes on every once in a while.

Random Start: Zozobra, “Laser Eyes”
The skull-crushingly heavy side project of Cave In bassist, Caleb Scofield, Zozobra is a must-have record for fans for heavy, sludgey, riff driven rock. It’s far and away my favorite of the multiple Cave In side projects (aside from Old Man Gloom, which is kind of in the same vein and from the same brain). I’ve made it no secret on this blog over the years that Scofield’s scream is my favorite in heavy music, so having a collection of songs that feature that scream on top of some brutally heavy riffs that lock in with some rock solid drumming from Ex-Isis drummer, Aaron Harris plays on this record is just the best of all possible situations.

Random Start: Zozobra, “Invisible Wolves”
This track is from Harmonic Tremors, the first release by Cave In bassist Caleb Scofield’s side project, Zozobra. It was one of my favorite releases of 2007, which isn’t all that surprising, given my love of any and all things Cave In. Caleb has my favorite scream in heavy music (see: Cave In’s “Big Riff”) and getting a record full of that scream on top of suffocatingly heavy riffs was right up my alley. Apparently, Caleb and Isis drummer, Aaron Harris, are tossing some demo ideas around for what will be the next (and third) Zozobra release. I’m eager to hear what comes next.
