Mostly me - Nicholas Buzzard. I sing on all tracks, and mostly write lyrics. In some songs (Tear apart, Strangers Eyes) I have been co-writing with my good friend Martin Bryn. for more of his songs see his space.
Influences
Im influenced by the Uks finest band - The Procession. I especially like the drums on their music, and try to imitate them in my own. also i very much like The Eyelids, and also the photography of one Nicholas Buzzard.. unrelated of course...
...seriously though, I’m influenced by many things, sometimes.. Musically I guess see The Pixies, Venetian Snares, Fugazi, Joan of Arc, ... oh to hell with it. I hate the whole idea of listing influences; as if what an artist listens to makes what is played! Besides - I might be influenced by almost anyone or anything, emotions, photographs, friends, situations much more so often than other musicians! I refuse to tot out anymore famous cool bands to try to impress anyone, and that’s that...
Sounds Like
My music sounds like.. *shrugs shoulders*, I use my 12string guitar, my computer, and my voice, as well as samples, drums, bongos, keyboards, and the sound that comes out I try to vary depending on the mood of the track and the meaning i wish to convey. I aim to make the sound of each track true to the track itself, and so to say that my music sounds like one particular thing, or set of things would limit the pallet i can use. If that makes any sense.
I’ve always written lyrics to settle my mind, and returned to them in times of grief and doubt, and when its all seemed darkest I’ve tried picking up my guitar and sorting my head out with a few choice words over a few choice chords. I do what I do, and it comes out how it does - categorisation is best left to journalists, ill just keep going. oh, and now for the advert *cough, official voice*:- "I edited my profile with Thomas' MySpace Editor V4.4". Laters.
We have just uploaded some songs from our forthcoming album 'Kill or Cure' to our MySpace page and we also have a new download area at http://rockrecordsuk.co.uk/music.php from which all our music can be downloaded for free.
Thanks a lot if you get a chance to listen and hope you enjoy it :)
There are demons dreaming,
Of screaming seamen,
Streaming online,
Supine forms,
Born in storms,
Of electronic words,
Unheard but read,
Unspoken but said,
Poetastic threads,
Weaving dread,
Through virutal landscapes,
With no escape.
Do you remember when we sat outside on sunny days in the grass and sang funny songs? i miss those times. when i heard you sing i thought of us singing in birmingham all those times. you helped make my stay in england more special... love the music buzz keep it up!
