Here's the story of a lovely lady who was bringing up three very lovely girls. All of them had hair of gold, like their mother, the youngest one in curls.
Here's the story of a man named Bra-
No, wait, that's The Brady Bunch. Sorry.
The songs of former Morris Cooper Stephenson frontman Stephen Denham exist in a realm where their protagonists reflect on lost love, missed opportunities and the pitfalls of public transportation only to lose their train of thought on account of a zombie apocalypse, the youth of today needing a stern telling-off or maybe because someone just poured them a nice cup of tea.
Heartfelt without being overly sentimental, melancholic without being too damn depressing, witty without delving into outright comedy, the sweet naivety of Daniel Johnston and the dry, self-deprecating wit of The Magnetic Fields are obvious reference points here. Those who take a closer listen will also see elements of Bill Callahan's dark, country brooding and the intricate, pastoral folk of Nick Drake. However, merely playing "spot the influence" doesn't do justice to these songs that can simultaneously be whimsical, bitter, desperate, sarcastic and deeply amorous.

Hey Steveface, I was just listening to Zombie Crisis and was wondering if you've considered whacking-in some awesome harmonies and doing a nice proper recording of it. (maybe you have, but my recording's a little fuzzy-ish.)
I'm still a good girl!! 7" from rockinghorse. So well I've only heard 2 songs, and I like his new look, his beard is huge with some terrible early 90s sports glasses. he makes them cool! (no offense if you wear these terrible servo sunnies. you may also make them look cool)
Thanks for accepting Steve. Cheers for the kinds words too. I like 'this old town' very cool little riff at the start.. We're hoping to be coming up for a gig at Bon Amici sometime soon (was suppose to be next weekend but not sure at the moment) i'll let you know though see if you can make it down.. cheers for now WD
