"Who is Conan O'Brien & Why Is She So Sad?"

In the wake of deciding hardcore isn't our thang anymore I've been tapdancing on my pedalboard and gradually the new songs are coming through. I've previewed sections for Rich & James and I think we're in agreement that we're heading towards playing shows that degenerate into epic dance parties and not people trying to hurt each other in the name of scene points.*

Vocally i've been working ideas with Sean's voice in mind and there's gonna be a lot more for myself, Rich & J-Bizzle to do in terms of back ups. Overall the new tunes are stylistically pitched somewhere between Phoenix and Foals. That's purely my current opinion though, once they're played by people who aren't solely myself and a drum machine they could end up somewhere else entirely. I can't see a drummer as creative as James being content robotically laying down the basic disco beats i've been demoing so who knows?

The two main new songs are called Berlin and Living Ancestors. The latter's probably closer to completion and having literally just listened back to the demo again i'm going to have a total modesty failure and say that it sounds fucking amazing. Because it does.




* Not that this ever happened while we were playing the heavy set. There was never enough of an audience for any noteworthy pit action which is both a pity and a relief.

Listen to:
Future Of The Left - Travels With Myself & Another
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Pixies - Surfer Rosa
