While in Chicago, Patrick performed with several bands. He fronted the rock band, 48sin, recording one full-length album and several EP’s. The track, “Sipping Down the Barrel of a Gun,” was picked for Guitar Center’s Fresh Cuts Volume 3, and again the song, “Hymn,” was featured on Volume 5.

This band performed regularly at Chicago staples like The Metro, and also played live on Chicago’s alternative radio station Q101.

He recorded guitar on their final album, Secret Handshakes (The End Records), and toured in support of this album. As his time with Tub Ring ended, Patrick created Internal Empires with previous band-mates. This metal band released one full-length vinyl LP, and several EPs.
