Tim Lyons report on the “Pardon My Confusion” Album release:
" A little background on this recording; Shotnyea wrote every song, plays every instrument, and sings every vocal. He also does the music arrangement, mixing, and audio engineering (wow, that sounds like I know what I'm talking about, lol). For me the highlights on this record

He also does the music arrangement, mixing, and audio engineering (wow, that sounds like I know what I'm talking about, lol). For me the highlights on this record are: "Show Me Your Lies" which showcases an incredible vocal range (nice work Den), "Sucker Punch" is great for the gym that highlights different textures and a driving beat that tantalizes the ear (sounds great in the Ear Buds!), "Shake and Bake" is a fist-pumping, driving tune reminiscent of Godsmack and a little LINKIN PARK, and the title track "Pardon My Confusion" can easily come off a Creed record from the 90's. Give the whole thing a listen! His influences come through on all songs. It’s a mixture of Rush, Godsmack, Creed, and many others. You can find it on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, and Tik Tok.

Torn to Pieces was written about our struggles with good and evil during the pandemic. With the height of social media control over the news, it's hard to figure out what is someone's truth and what is a fact. The song uses hyperbolic themes to describe angels and demons talking in our heads behind a locked door. To be brave and protect our souls, we must knock the door down and tell both to be quite and take back our reigns and common sense. His specialty is songwriting and audio engineering all parts of his music.

Genetic Drift is an instrumental album with various emotions that take you on different adventures. In 2018, Shotnyea released this album shortly after Hurricane Harvey came through Houston, Texas. The song No Escape was recorded while winds of 75-85 MPH were slamming his studio and surrounded by rising water which came as close as 2 feet
