Someone asked me what the new band sounded like. This question always stumps me, but after last night’s vocal session, off the top of my head I said “like Stiv Bators fronting Alkaline Trio.”
Only time will tell how close I am!!

My cat is becoming my bands official mascot... Slowly
HERE’S JONNY (with Bayley the cat). The former Spilt Dogs bass behemoth joins the ranks and has been recording some four-string action all day on location in Cardiff. Make him feel welcome.

The snare on these recordings sounds very Bun E. Carlos from Cheap Trick. Needless to say, I’m very moist.

Le Pub in Newport is our home for the day. Here, we’ll lay the foundations for our debut single. It’s called “I Want Something I Don’t Care About.” It’s gonna be mega. 💥

Demos are ongoing. This time, Ginge is tackling a Michael Partridge composition. Think Hold Steady, think Jimmy Eat World, think Leatherface. Ginge is obviously turning it into Cheap Trick. Will there be a “whoa?” You bet your arse there will be! More news dropping on 18th October. 👀

It’s Ginge’s birthday. He had a new mic and stand so he’s been practicing playing rock stars in front of the bedroom mirror.

Last session at Green Rooms in Treforest last night. We’re now progressing onto something really exciting. We’ll keep you all posted ASAP. In the meantime, here’s a photo of Ginge taking a photo of Michael taking a photo of Dave. We’re nailing this social media thing! 😂

Today, I completed the vocal demos on the newest song. It’s a bit darker than normal, but I guess it reflects my mood. Still catchy, though. Particularly chuffed at some harmony attempts. It weighs in at a massive 4 minutes and 10 seconds. Prog-tastic, mate! Not ‘arf.

Productive day as I laid down some guitars for a new song. The lead lick sits nicely over the rhythm parts. Michael, our lead guitarist by default, says it sounds like Guns N’ Roses. I told him not to worry about learning it, as I won’t be able to play the stupid thing again anyway!
