   About Picturebox
.. ..Picturebox have been together since late 2005 though the band name goes back much further.
We like strong tunes and rough edges. "Hard To Take" is a song finished last summer. "Listen To The Rain" is from the autumn. "The Results Were...Disappointing" is an older favourite featuring the vocal talents of California's Mathew Dutra and the cello skills of Jo Scott. "Give It Up" and "Canterbury Lo-Fi" are the newest ones, finished in April and May 09. CDs are available to buy online and at gigs.

Great songs!!

Oh, thanks... You're the first person to say anything about that song, I'd already started to become insecure about it. I was on the phone to National Rail Enquiry when your brother walked past. Simon the Engineer had just popped into the pub to change money so I could pay him for the last session for the new album.
I have to say I'm impressed by your solo stuff as well! (without meaning to diminish the glory of the mighty P'box in any way, of course)

Hi! Thanks for the add and nice comment too!
Glad You enjoyed my music too...

I'm not planing on changing the songs a lot.

Just some arrangements missing and maybe I'll do the vocals again.

They were recorded with a good live microphone but not a studio one....
But thanks for telling me they sound good as they are!
