He has also been featured in several music videos, including Little Brother's "Speed" and his own "Lamb to Lion" video which won a "Most Creative Atmosphere" award from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Comanche has independently released two solo albums on his own Defenders of the Free World imprint (2000's Wooden Nickels and 2002's Paper Gods) and with Blues Interactions (2005's Squirrel and The Aces The Japan Tour) with ABB Records (2005's Squirrel and The Aces) and has appeared on Little Brother's The Listening LP, Edgar Allen Floe's True Links LP, featured in the theme song This Side of the River of the Princeville, NC Documentary; Away Team; Legacy; and 9th Wonder's National Mayhem Triple album; Eternia's It's Called Life LP, the Justus League's NC State of Mind Vol. 1 mixtape, and the Hall of Justus' Singles Files mixtape.
