As promised, my next video will be a vlog type video where I will explain what happened when I left YouTube and why I have decided to come back now. Hope you enjoy the cover guys.
Guys, it's been so long! be honest... you thought I was never going to upload again - right? ha! This is a song I finished the audio for a long time ago but never filmed anything so, the projects I do from here may be a little different. Either way, it's good to be back, I look forward to hearing from you all.
Support my mate Travis (Tiny Vessels) - tinyvessels.net/royaltyfree [He wrote and produced the song in the outro]
Thank you to Corey for learning and recording the guitar solo for me in around 10 min! you legend. Also, thanks to the amazing, reoccurring Ali for helping me set up all the decorations and placing my Santa hat on me, just so.
Special Thanks to my AMAZING Patrons! ► Ben Davis ► Lauren Oliver ► Emily Verbeek
I'd like to thank my beautifully talent girlfriend Alison for taking this road trip with me, braving the weather, being my on-screen talent and filming the parts that I could not. I couldn't have done this without you.
So close to hitting 10,000 subscribers guys! I'm so freakin' pumped and excited to host a Live Stream after we hit this awesome milestone. what a journey. I hope you guys can make it, I can't wait to chat with you all and get to know you better.
I have been playing bass and singing in my cover band 'Snack Attack' for nearly 10 years now and we have arranged a few song medleys in our time together - this in one of our favourites!
Faith - George Michael Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard I Love Rock and Roll - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts Cherry Pie - Warrant We Will Rock You - Queen In The Summertime - Thirsty Merc
Had a lot of fun making this video with Theo, it was nice to get him involved a little more and formally introduce him to the channel. Don't worry, I'm not slowly turning this channel into a Vlog channel, there will always be music (hopefully every week!) but I love filming extra things for this channel to share with you guys - I just never want it to become confusing and forget why I made this channel in the first place. It will always be about the music.
LAST CHANCE TO GET YOUR Q&A QUESTIONS IN BEFORE I FILM! Hit me up in the comments below!
I have such big plans after we hit 10k subscribers guys so get your friends to join the community here and you'll soon find out what I have planned! Very excited, very nervous but it should be fun!
Also, I am planning a Q&A video in the coming weeks so if you have any questions I haven't answered in the past (or if you have any questions for/about Theo) post them below in the comments section and I'll be sure to answer them in the Q&A video!
Just a quick LIVE cover this week, working on a few other videos that will hopefully be out in the coming weeks, another collaboration project in the works and something VERY cool happening soon!! stay tuned...
I haven't been taking a great amount of care for myself lately and I feel I am always running myself down into sickness and I have to change a few things. YouTube is my passion, it's not my job, although I found myself awake until 4am finalising the edits of this video to get it out "on time". I spent the past weekend at Aus VidCon (which was amazing!) and apart from learning some things about YouTube, I come to the realisation that I have been treating my channel more like a job than a passion and I can feel it coming out in my work - I don't like it. This project was amazing to work on and I have always loved collaborating, I just need to change my work style I think...
Anyway - enough complaining haha. You can find Val's social networks below so you can support him as you have supported me =T (We will be working on a 2nd video together very soon that will only be posted on his channel so make sure you subscribe so you can see it!!)
HUGE Congratulations to AJ & Micah on their Anniversary! This song has been on my list of 'songs to cover' for quite some time so, I was happy to have a good reason to finally cover it. New collaboration video coming very soon (hopefully by next week!) really excited about this one guys.
I'm still pretty sick so I'm giving you guys another one of my originals from my EP 'Momentum'. If you like the song, you can pick up my EP on BandCamp (link above)
Verse Hold on to me, baby don’t let me go Reassure me that I’m not in this alone Over troubled water I found home Wrapped around you like it’s all I’ve ever known
Like countless moments past you were gone Believe me when I say I will hold on Taking comfort in pictures on my phone When you were close enough to hold
Chorus I Miss You [x2]
Verse Distant plans of a once-in-a-million life All I need, is you and I There’s nothing that I would not sacrifice, still I’m left to justify As hard as I am trying there’s just no denying That we’re not the lucky ones In their eyes, it’s worthless to think that we’ll be more than this Still I won’t give up on my distant love
Chorus I Miss You [x2] [I miss you now you’re gone]
Bridge/Outro Days will pass, seasons change The months will fade away But in time you’ll see, I’ll be Coming home to you soon Coz I miss you I miss youI Swear This Time I Mean It - Mayday Parade | Sound Made Clearer CoverSound Made Clearer2017-08-16 | Check me out on Twitch: twitch.tv/atticus030
As I'm typing this, I have absolutely no voice due to working double shifts and playing 2 gigs over the weekend so here's a little something I had the time to film right before my voice went AWOL. I don't know how long it's going to take me to recover so chances are there won't be an upload next week... just, prepare yourself for radio silence.
(Ben, if you're reading this, I literally filmed this about 20 minutes after your suggestion)
Been a while since I uploaded a more produced cover and I was so happy to do this song as I fell in love with it when I first listened to All Time Low's new album; 'Last Young Renegade'! I'm looking forward to moving out with Theo again so I can stop filming in the same lounge room ha. I tried to throw in a few angles at least to keep it interesting. More collaborations on the way, Covers Live From The Lounge on its way as well!! stay tuned
I've been meaning to bring ADTR back so, this collaboration couldn't have come at a better time! Shout out to Nik for getting it touch with me and collaborating this over Skype. Was a bit of a process but we did it in the end and it was hella fun. I miss collaborating, I really want to spend more time contacting other artists and organising more of these in the future.. don't let me forget!
Show Nik some love by subscribing to him and checking out his content!
I was chilling at a good friends when this song came on Spotify and I just fell in love with it! had it on repeat since and I had to cover it as an attempt to free myself from its sweet embrace (I don't think it worked)
Sweet jesus, how many times can I say "ummm"!? "I don't wanna start Vogging" (puts Vlog #5 in title) haha I'm a walking contradiction!! Excuse my rambling ways, I'm obviously better at making music than I am with small talk but I just wanted to give you guys a quick update while I recover a bit and let you know what's to come.
Every time I edit a video I usually have a stupid amount of left over footage whether it be takes I haven't used or just Theo and I being stupid -- it's usually the latter! So this week I decided to mash some of it together to give you guys a peek behind the curtain. Just a usual day on set
3rd Wednesday in a row of content! I feel like if I was to officially bring back my schedule it would be too much pressure and literally give me anxiety though, so I'm just going to try my best to put out weekly content just on my own accord. So far, so good! =T
Special Thanks to Theo for filming and the beautiful Anya for editing the footage!!
Better late than never, hey? I actually filmed, edited and uploaded this today! I've been super busy starting my new job but I really wanted to get something out to you guys. It's a bit of a quick one but I honestly love this song so much, really takes me back.
I've been trying to work on multiple things at once and hopefully I'll have a video to upload next week too! no promises though...
Thank you guys so much for 9,000 Subscribers!! Heading into the double digits, I feel like we've come a long way in the past year. I finally started taking this more seriously and I couldn't be happier sharing content with you guys. Speaking of, I have been developing some new ideas regarding my channel content, something a little different than just music videos, something to give back to you guys. If you are the creative type, an artist, a musician, maybe you even have your own YouTube channel! I'm hoping to help you guys out with this new content coming out so, stick around!
Don't forget to comment below where in the world you are watching this from so I can better cater to you guys regarding the days and times I will start to upload new content!
Visited the beautiful Redwood Forest over the weekend and filmed a little something for my new cover of "Scars" by I Prevail. Special thanks to Megan (the talent) for doing an awesome job and being a good sport when I was ever so controlling.
I know it's been a while since you have seen me upload content and I apologise. I didn't think I would be gone for this long and even now my schedule hasn't really opened up a lot but I REALLY want to get back to creating content for you guys! I hope you liked my lyric video for one of the first songs I ever wrote! This song really hits home for me. I do want to start writing more and show you (and myself!) what 'modern Joel' can do.
Verse It’s hard to believe that this is real As real as anything can be And as you shake, my world does the same and I can’t breathe We both know what’s to come
Chorus Coz I’m still awake, waiting outside I’ve Made my mistakes, the softest noises I make As I pray, that I’m not too late to Hear you say goodbye
Verse And this is where I break down And I can’t make it around, the first bend The beginning of the end creeps in and I’m just not ready for this As I, convulse out of control, as I can feel my whole world Come crashing around me Will some body tell me that it’s okay? To feel this way
Chorus/Outro Coz I’m still awake, waiting outside I’ve Made my mistakes, the softest noises I make As I pray, that I’m not too late to Hear you say goodbye The longer it takes, with every breath that I make I fall to my knees as my heart starts to break With each and every word, with each and every word I’m still awake, I know it’s not easy For you to fake, these feelings believe me I’d rather be hurt, than go on believing You’ll come back to me
I’m still awake, waiting outside I’ve Made my mistakes, the night passes by as I Feel like, the stories not over I want you to know that I’ll always come backAshes of Eden - Breaking Benjamin | Sound Made Clearer CoverSound Made Clearer2017-03-01 | Check me out on Twitch: twitch.tv/atticus030
What's up guys!? I promised you all some better quality content (at the cost of getting rid of my YouTube upload Schedule) and I'm hoping that this video is the first of many to impress you guys. I've been working really hard on this one for the last 3 weeks and this video is kind of setting a new benchmark for this channel. This is the first video after getting rid of my schedule. This is the first video that is all storyline/narrative based. This is the first video that I'm not in!! (a part from my lyric videos, of course)
Huge shoutout and thanks to Theo and Talullah for killing it in this video! Theo is usually the guy behind the camera, but I wanted to show you guys that he is very multi-talented and can kill it in front of the camera too! Let me know what you think of this new direction in content and I can't wait to show you all what's to come!
I know, I know -- this video is a day late! But that's just the beginning. It was very hard for me to properly explain in this video why I am taking away my YouTube upload schedule as I was in a terrible mood at the time but, I had to film something. I had to let you guys know. For months I have been working on my YouTube channel without a day job and I can't support myself like this any longer. I have recently picked up part time work during the week and I'm still playing in my Cover band every weekend, so my time to work on content has been severely cut. I also want to go back to feeling excited about planning out a project rather than think "Oh geez, do I even have time to pull this off??" it's not a great feeling and I am never showing you guys my full potential, so, yeah, I'm leaving the schedule behind... for now. I'm giving myself time and room to grow and who knows, some time in the future when it becomes a viable decision -- I will once again have a schedule.
Until then, I'm still making videos, and I hope you guys stick around to watch.
Special Thanks to The Nook Cafe for opening their doors to me when they were closed so I could film this. If you live around Melbourne, you definitely need to stop by and taste their delicious food and coffee! facebook.com/The-Nook-Cafe-Shop-703324879714738/?fref=ts
When I first heard Ed's new songs, it was a no brainer that this would be the song I would cover! It's been so long since I covered a song like this and strayed away from the piano for the first time in forever. I thought it only fitting that I film this in my hometown where I spent most of my teenage years -- lots of country lanes! This week will begin my new upload schedule of 'New Videos Every 2nd Wednesday!' so you may not see me for 2 weeks. I am also working on my 2nd channel that I will release soon so you guys will have extra content between my fortnightly projects.
ps. I got MAD sunburn filming this! I really need to use sunscreen...
What's up guys!? I apologise for the sudden shift in upload schedule but I promise you, it's for your own good!! I have big plans for 2017 and I just need that extra time to choreograph these projects the way I need them to be. I will try very hard to upload a simple cover in-between these fortnightly projects but I can't promise anything. Thank you guys so much for the continued support and I really hope you guys are looking forward to what's to come!!
Massive shoutout to Rovers for inviting me to play an acoustic set @ The Moot before my cover band Snack Attack took to the massive stage (just out of shot) to rock all night! it was amazing. It was so damn windy that day that this was one of the only songs that wasn't compromised by ridiculous wind in the mic!
Thank you all so much for getting us up to 8,000 subscribers! I look forward to making more of these videos once we hit bigger milestones as we grow together (...on my second channel, of course)
This was my 'ace up the sleeve' for a busy week when I didn't have the time to film something - I think in-between Christmas and New Years is a pretty good excuse for using this safety net - right?? Speaking of New Years, I have just made a decision tonight to add something special in 2017! I will be releasing a video on New Years Day (it won't be a music video) explaining my plans for the New Year - or rather, how I will be beginning it, anyway. I predict there will also be a celebration going on around that time too, I wonder if you can guess what it will be...
Merry Christmas, Everybody! The entire world is united in it's hatred for what 2016 had become, but, I achieved a lot this year! I'm very grateful for the opportunity to spend my time pursuing a 'YouTube Creator' career and I am proud of myself for quitting my day job to take that final leap, press in that final piece of the puzzle to get me here. Thank you so much to all the people who have watched my videos this year, have stuck around to support me, left me amazing, inspiring comments, reached out to me to let me know how much they appreciate my work - I can never thank you guys enough.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I hope 2017 is YOUR year.
BEHIND-THE-SCENES SUNDAAAAYS! (...well, maybe not EVERY Sunday!) Every time Theo and I go out to film on location we end up with a lot of outakes, bloopers, deleted scenes and just extra footage we never seem to use! So I decided to cut together a 'Behind The Scenes' video for my most recent cover of Party Monster / Starboy by The Weeknd.
If you guys enjoy this sort of thing from me, I might make an effort to release behind the scenes footage of my bigger productions from now on!
As soon as The Weeknd's album 'Starboy' dropped, I had it on repeat and HAD to cover at least one of his songs. I was late to the party with Starboy (autocorrect keeps changing that to "Starry" -ugh!) anyway, I mashed 2 songs together instead.
ENJOY!
NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!

Elliott and I literally filmed this 12 hours before I had to upload it! We had just finished band practice (with the cover band) and I needed his help with a LIVE cover because "December" got in the way of me filming last weekend and I had nothing prepared!! The end of the year is coming up way too fast and I just have too much to do - but I had a lot of fun filming this. I put a few bloops at the end but that doesn't even scratch the surface of the stupid shit we got up to last night.
What up, guys. It's been quite a while since I visited the ol' Live Cover video, 'Covers Live From The Lounge' was looking scarce, plus, I was cray busy this week with my usual cover band gigs PLUS a solo acoustic gig after all that (my voice is killing me!!) I filmed this live cover before losing most of my voice so, yay for good timing!
I played this, somewhat of a ballad rendition of Dammit at my acoustic gig and it was quite well received so I really hope you guys like it - thumbs up if you did and I appreciate it when you guys share these videos with your friends =D
I actually tracked the piano for this cover back when it came out originally but then 'Closer' blew up and I had to ditch it for that instead. So, I came back to it and finished it up. It was a little easier on me this week as I had a few other things to prepare for also.
I've seen a lot of videos where people put up these little boxes with them singing different parts or playing various instruments so, I was inspired! I had to put a little twist on it though.
Theo and I went back to the location we shot "You're Not Alone" by Saosin a year and a half ago to film this week. I loved the look of this place so much, and it's right near where we used to live so it was nice to drive down there again.
I'm very excited to announce my new schedule of uploading every Wednesday! Wednesday's will always be a new cover (or original works) and every 2 weeks or so I'm going to start uploading Vlogs - probably on a Friday.
I shot, edited and uploaded this video all in one day! I'm getting pretty good at this 'YouTube thing'.
I'm always looking for cool, new places to film my clips and a few weeks back I drove past this abandoned train station with one train carriage just sitting there! It was disgusting on the inside and someone had definitely been living in there at some point, but god it looks good on camera!
