In a classic case of terrible social media account management, I’d completely forgotten that we had this account here.
We’ve been writing a lot of new material, many starting from piano demos. In keeping with the times, much of it is dark, bleak & heavy.
Ironically, we’re having a lot of fun.

Enjoying watching footage from the current Gavin Friday tour. The magnificent ‘Ecce Homo’ was probably my favourite album of 2024 and I was sad to have missed out on tickets for the London date. The ‘Caucasian Walk’ redux is so good. Amazing performer; still. Gavin’s live band are superb too.

We released this live album on Friday. No overdubs. Only a handful of tiny correctional edits. We wanted an honest representation of how we sound live and we’re proud of this recording.
No live dates lined up yet but hopefully that changes soon. In the meantime:

First @tirs.bsky.social rehearsal for our upcoming gig at The Black Heart. So good to be back in a room together even if we're temporarily one short. Get well soon Julian.

Hope everyone who wanted a NIN ticket today got one. Here’s another event to make sure you have on your calendar.
Tickets are still available from DICE or tirs dot uk. 20 year reunion. Musicians and songs coming out of retirement for YOU. A genuinely special, one-off event. Let’s sell it out.

Our friend @penfriendrocks.bsky.social has just released her fantastic new single ‘Emotional Tourist’ - an infectious, rightfully scathing yet beautifully melodic synth-rock-pop (what a bass sound!) song that should be a drive time radio A-lister. Go go!: penfriendrocks.bandcamp.com/album/emotio...

29 years since I last saw the inimitable @thejesuslizard.bsky.social live. Making up for it by going to see them 3 times this weekend (Bristol, London, Brighton). Very, very excited.

Manhunter OST. Billy Corgan solo albums. Space Echo pedals. Resuscitation of the most unlikely songs. Peter Wright rolling back the years. Flight delays. Chest infections. South Circular. Don Letts. Binge-watching Elvis footage. Focus. Positivity. The closing credits for our 24. See you in 25.

‘Doom’ isn’t typically a genre that gets used with us. But our next single is quite likely to be a track which I can only describe as #industrial #doom #shoegaze’. 77BPM, 14 bar sequences, fuzz bass and the longest reverb I’ve ever used. Fits the new promo pic nicely.

Apparently #proofofcat is a thing here. In which case, here are two of the TIRS cats (mine). One of which is named after my F1 hero, Kimi Raikkonen.
