New Chino Project (un-named) ?

[defsteve]

Mentioned in the previously posted 'Noisey' interview (details below).

You mentioned that when you have any down time, you like to make music. What's going on with Crosses, Team Sleep, and your other projects?

Crosses has recorded a bunch of material and we have a third EP that's ready to go. We just signed a deal with Sumerian Records to release it. We're thinking of putting it out in October and doing a couple shows around then. I've also been working with [Stolen Babies drummer] Gil Sharone, [Crosses member] Chuck Doom, and my buddy Todd [Wilkinson], who plays [guitar] in Team Sleep. We always hang out and make music. We all got together for the Guitar Center "Drum Off" that Gil did [in March 2013]. We wrote five or six tunes and played the gig. It's all instrumental at this point. I just turned 40, and I've realized that I like having a regular output of music and doing it consistently, whether it ends up in record format or if it doesn't come out at all. As much as I can do it now, creating music with other people is definitely fun. It's my number one hobby. I'm not too much into video games or other things. I like to spend my time creating stuff with friends.

Got to track this beauty today. Can't say what for, but really happy to be part of it.

Chino is a busy man!

I think it would be interesting for Chino to have an all instrumental side project. I'd love to have more tracks like the konami code.

[ignore the fashion]

I wouldn't mind hearing something that he doesn't sing on, maybe just play guitar.

This is awesome, I hope if this does become a real side project that it's all instrumental. Anything else from Chino would just be ridiculous at this point.

[Inkblades]

I disagree. The guy has a great voice. Why not use it?

That being said, I wouldn't mind some instrumental tracks...but I'd also like some with singing.

I don't see Todd Wilkinson there. I see Chino, Chuck and Gil. You know.. all members of crosses.

Look a little harder... he's on the right...

edit: he is in the first video anyway. I assume he's still in the second but the guy didn't film him...

Is anyone else thinking that this might be Team Sleep but with a new lineup?

[DeftonesNZ]

That's what I thought aswell the guitar riffs definitely team sleepish and Gils drumming in that clip is alot like Zach Hill did for Team Sleep

[pony_01]

probably team sleep with new name. heheh

[ANattyRat]

Is anyone else thinking that this might be Team Sleep but with a new lineup?

That's what I thought also, to be honest, it sounds rather a lot like Team Sleep. I'm happy, either way it's more music. I know rather a lot of people are getting sick of Chino's many side-projects because they seem to want something heavier, but I think it's great.

I like the sound of this. I wouldn't even mind if it were instrumental. I love every project Chino has done so I welcome anything new from him really.

[niteridet_]

I would love to jam with all these guys.
I have been dwelling in the underground, instrumental metal/progressive music lately. Now figuring this out just now, I love everything SL has mentioned so far. How do I jam with him for the rest of my days, it's my hobby as well. I think it could happen.
