His most recent endeavour, a 12 part ?Song a Week? project, can be found on youtube (www.youtube.com/connorjmcguire). Meanwhile he continually explores his love of all kinds of music: gigging acoustically, playing with his band and doing DJ sets as his alter ego, Pack Mentality.
?Considering how many faces I wear throughout the course of my songs, it feels really strange to try and choose a singular identity. I guess that's a bad thing but I feel like as soon as I say, ?I am a rock musician' it would just hamper some other thing I wanted to try. Maybe at some point in my life it'll all meld together into a cohesive whole, but for now I'll just stay fractured. The one constant in my music is the lyrical content. Watching people try to find the balance between what's right and what's right for them is pretty inspiring, for better or for worse. I think that's what my songs are about. The lives of others and how they chose to stand up for themselves.?
Connor plans to record his new songs in his home studio in September. ?It?ll be a band album. Rock music.?
