Drawing inspiration from groups such as The Misfits, Operation Ivy and Anti-Flag, Heidinger started recording music as Remember Me on a tape recorder in his bedroom at his parent’s house. He continued playing and has since recorded a full-length album at the Institute of Production and Recording. He has also played several shows in the F-M area and participated in a mini-tour in 2009.
“The tour was nice to get out of town and see a lot of places I haven’t seen before and play a lot of places I haven’t played before,” Heidinger said. “The CD release show (in Fargo) was also a lot of fun because it was just a show full of all my friends who play music, and I had a really good time.”
With a self-described style of acoustic folk-punk, Remember Me has gained attention in the F-M area and has played several venues — including the recent Waxahatchee show at the New Direction.
“I was very inspired by a lot of the bands I listened to when I was 13 and 14; a lot of the bands I’ve gotten into just through skateboarding and friends,” Heidinger said.
While Heidinger mostly sings and plays guitar, he can also play the mandolin, ukulele, banjo, drums and piano and incorporated these instruments in his album “Haunt Me Tonight.”
“Most of the lyrics are about girls but sometimes I write about politics or other things going on in society,” Heidinger said. “It’s not just love or hate songs.”
Remember Me is currently working on a 90-minute cassette tape to be released this spring as well as an EP to be released this summer.
