Surprisingly, the lyrics and music fit well together. VERY well.
The threesome invited Chad Raymond in to play bass and record the song on cassette (remember those?) before disbanding.
A year later, Matt, Chad Raymond, Elliott Kiger and Steve Bergen formed a garage band called the Tense Souls. They wrote a short album's worth of material, but the one track that emerged as the best was called SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, based on a funky Bergen bassline and lyrics meant to be penned by Hannibal Lecter.
Kiger left for private school the next Fall and the group disbanded after playing a fateful pool party where Ritchey totaled his Chevy Impala.
High school. Ritchey and Wilson reconnect at a concert of school bands and decide to geta band together. Bergen is available and is in, but Ritchey's classmate and drummer Julio Davalos refuses.
Until he finds out Wilson is the one on guitar. Now he's in. He's heard Keith and knows that this guy can play guitar better than anybody in town. Or the State. Perhaps the tri-State area.....
