Here’s his official statement: "As most BRUTALITY fans know we all like different kinds of music. Don Gates is into Country and I’m really into the Blues, singer songwriters, electronica, film scores, and instrumental guitar music. Today I was screwing around at our studio and I decided to record a PRINCE song. In the course of the next few weeks I’ll be releasing some of my music. A lil of this, a lil of that. I have to get some stuff copyrighted before I share it cuz people suck. That being said because this is a cover I don’t care. I do know you’ve never heard anyone cover this particular song in this fashion. If the response is good I’ll post more stuff. If it isn’t I”ll probably still post it anyway. Cheers and I hope you enjoy it." For all further BRUTALITY information, check out www.facebook.com/brutalitytheband
