The Feelings i try to convey in my writing are stages of agoraphobia, schizophrenia and release from life; be that my own or whoever's. I like to know that what we do isn't perfect: theres something soulless in polishing something so hard to make it beautiful as you can. I want there to be a pearl in there but you've got to work your way around the clam first!
I feel faintly ridiculous writing this because i have no idea who the people reading this thing are: I guess what we all look for is some sort of validation that we should do what we're doing, that we're headed the right way. Part of me wants to know, part of me doesn't.....
I could give you the usual blah, blah we were born in xxx, are x years old, we want to have a number one single before we're 20 (too late on at least one of those!) Blah fucking blah! Are you Really that interested though? So here it is in short (finally!): We live in the east midlands of England, (you're most likely to see us around Nottingham, Derby and Leicester way for now!) We're all under 30 and we make music that sounds as though it's - fuck it, listen to the tracks, if you like them, let us know and we'll be happy. If you don't like them, you can still tell us and we'll all care/not care in varying degrees!
I won't draw this out any longer!
Peace,
Ben.
