Single Zed Wishless
Ghosts of Buttercup
I built "Ghosts of Buttercup" from memories of desert riding around Buttercup and Gordon's Well, border runs to Algodones, Competition Hill, and the reckless freedom that came with being young.
Single Zed Wishless
Banana Seat Summers
A rough-edged Zed Wishless look back at 1970s childhood, when strict rules at home coexisted with miles of unsupervised freedom outside.
Single Sivra Dark
Burning Divide
I wrote Burning Divide as a gritty hard-rock confrontation with moral tribalism, repeated hatred, and the choice to hold onto basic truths when division makes that difficult.
Artist
Zed Wishless
Zed Wishless is a fictional JDWS artist built for sarcastic, punk-adjacent songs about Gen X survival, busted systems, old stories, bad decisions, dry humor, and the kind of resilience that does not ask for applause.
