Vocal Meanderings Guitar Hammerings. A Smatter and Patter of Vocal Matter and Vernacular. A Recussion of Percussion Tinged With the Drum Lesson. Too Much Delay, Too Much Reverb, A Total Mesh Of Everything Yo Already Heard.
Made up of nothing but a sole solitary member combined with lots of instruments and that anything that clanks, clicks and chirps.
Starting out on just a guitar and voice is hard work. I've played along with bands and worked in sessions with many accomplished pals, but I decided in the easter of 07' to take this alone.
Armed with only and 8track, mic and a preamp and 6 weeks in a shady corner from England to Wales I've finally let loose my first Ep!
I always intended it to be like this. I have always strived to be true to an acoustic artists best traits, the guitar and the voice.
This record has been in the making for a while, some songs have been existance for nearly over a year. It's been a pleasure to finally let you reach out and wrap your greedy lugholes around them.
Myself? Biog?
You really don't want to know where I'm from, all you care about is wether it sounds good or not.
I don't claim to be making experimental music I just experiment with the music I make, It will not change the world, It's all for my and your enjoyment.

Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's free so...
