Band MembersCraig Brown
InfluencesJeff Buckley, Babyshambles, Paul Rodgers (Bad Company, Free), Nitty-Gritty Dirt Band, alchohol and worry.
Sounds LikeCraig’s tells us he could do with a review from us even if it’s a list of reasons why he should throw his recording equipment on a fire, along with a leftover gas canister and then toss himself in. But, then why should we be denied that pleasure? Okay, if Craig wants a list of reasons, then quoting Babyshambles as your chief inspiration is probably enough in itself to secure a fiery fate. But then there’s the moaning and strumming and self-pity to consider too. Craig ain’t a happy bunny – something to do with girls not loving him enough – so he’s set off on a journey into alcohol-induced self-destruction, which is neither as clever nor romantic as impressionable indie kids might believe and will only result in liver damage and facial puffiness, and is all a bit selfish when you consider the effect it’ll have on those around you who, despite your self-pitying world outlook, do actually care. (Hey, stop smirking, we’re trying to cheer Craig up, maybe stop him jumping off that window ledge or sending late night emails when he’s too pissed to know better). Where were we? Ah yes, it’s not all bad - ‘Taxis’ in particular has hints of a decent tune but Craig falls into the common trap of strumming too hard and getting a bit shouty when he gets emotional. The cover of Brand New’s ‘Degausser’ is okay – and definitely the best tune here – stripping the original back to a simple acoustic ballad that maybe needs to get a decent meal inside it. Beyond that, it’s all navel-gazing, self-pity and too much cheap vodka. Come on girls, this man needs your love. Bring a bottle. Either you or he is going to need it. Nightshift Magazine, Oxford.

I guess it *could* mean those things, but for me it means a week at my aunt's house in the country doing nothing (hopefully)! I think I'm going a bit crazy here myself and looking forward to my break. After that I'm going to Disney World and then the following Thursday I'm off to Oxford! I'm gonna be so out of it, but I don't care!! Bring on the 4th of April!

Things are good I guess. Had a few fun days, but work is piling up fast! Luckily it's Spring Break in a week, but it only lasts a week, which sucks. Home soon! You ready!?
