Sounds Like
hey, the songs are there!!! listen and make up your own god damn mind, we just think it sounds COOL!
Jacobs Coin:-
A knock on a door is all it takes to start something truly beautiful (or a band called Jacobs Coin. Whatever!) One Mr. Danny Glover, after recently parting company with half of his band started a search for a guitarist to form (drum roll) another band!! Adequately armed with one Mr. Chris Brown, Mr. Glover (this is getting very reservoir dogs!) began, and ended, his search by calling on an old friend to see if they knew any guitarists interested in playing a few sicko grunge tunes with him and his merry . . . man.
March, 2002
It just so happened, sat on the couch, just about in earshot of the conversation, was one Mr. Liam Casey. Mr. Casey, it turned out was a guitarist interested in playing a few sicko grunge tunes. Hurray!! Mr. Glover, and Mr. Brown (hahaha! Mr. Brown!) now had a new band. In no hurry to develop a name, or a decent song, the line-up looked like this:
Danny Glover Guitar/Vocals
Liam Casey Lead Guitar
Chris Brown Drums
Setting a local scout hut as their rehearsal space, the trio played around with some ideas, covers, band names and feedback for a few months. After a reply to an advertisement for a bassist, the unnamed band met with a man who was only ever known as that Duncan guy. For about three hours, and 6 pints of alcoholic loveliness, the line-up now read:
Danny Guitar/Vocals
Liam Casey Lead Guitar
Chris Brown Drums
That Duncan Guy Bass
After that evening, that Duncan guy was never seen by the trio again. Dampened spirits were quickly soaked through when the scout hut was made unavailable as a practice room. The next 7 months saw no interaction between any of the members and each Mister went about his respective business.
April, 2003
Phone: Ring Ring
Mr. Casey: Hello
Mr. Glover: ARE WE STILL A BAND!?
Turns out they wanted to be but Mr. Brown had different ideas. Or maybe not. Truth is, we dont know, he was never contacted! Now in need of a drummer, the pair used a football clubhouse as their place of musical production. After piecing together one or two ideas to form 3 songs proper, they began auditioning drummers. This was a very unsuccessful venture. Eventually, they gave up and, in his best Dave Grohl Ill just play everything! impression, Mr. Casey was booted off the guitar straight onto a drum stool. Band line-up? Quite laughably:
Danny Glover Guitar/Vocals
Liam Casey Drums
October, 2003
Deciding to play as a three piece, a bassist was needed (again!). Many, many, many auditions until . . . Jon Pinder!! Finally, a line-up that sounded like a band!! The trio, taking inspiration from Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Duran Duran(!), quickly pieced together enough songs to begin gigging.
The band, now settled on the name Fracture, went on to play Wigans Lux Club, in March, 2004, and Leighs Miltons and Sky Bar, in April. Dedication to the cause was now beginning to pay off! Line-up:
Danny Glover Ideas/Turning up late
Jon Pinder Infectious laughter/Smoking
Liam Casey Wearing hats/Illegal behaviour
May, 2004
Mr. Pinder goes and lives in Australia. Shit!
June, 2004
Once again, advertising for a bassist works and Dave Fuzzy Boydell is put in charge of bass playing duties. Fracture, armed with enough material to shake a stick at, instantly start looking for gigs. Mr. Boydell adds a new sorta metal element to the bands sound and new songs take us through many strange twists and turns but still keeping the whole filthy grunge sound of old.
All is lovely until some American FUCKS, it turns out, already own the name Fracture!!
November, 2004
The band reach an agreement on a new name (SlitherTongued) and begin gigging again. Line-up:
Danny Glover Guitar/Vocals
Fuzzy Bass
Liam Casey Drums
June, 2005
After many a gig, good and bad, the band change their name (again, how tiring), this time settling (finally, we hope) on Jacobs Coin
Today
Youre reading this!
Thank you for taking the time out of your eventful day to read this shit.
Yours Musically,
Mr. Glover, Mr. Fuzz and Mr. Casey

Dan Dan Dan. (that's a written version of my impression of the van off engie benjie). Anyways, Danny!
Alot of people are getting to the point where their arses are visible to their eyes and it's all because of our shoddy page here. Apparently the old "get firefox and you win" strategy is a no-go and we are unaccessable to people. As a band obviously, we are STILL real people (don't panic!).
Can we fix it? Can it fix us? Will this bring about the arrival of the four shortmen of the oesophegus?
