"Let's talk about the elephant in the room,
Out in the open now we've nothing left to lose,
Let's reveal our secret identities, 
I'll pretend to be you if you pretend to be me,
I think that I could do without the doom and gloom,
Your paranoia shakes the window like a sonic boom,
You could call it an identity crisis,
But I'll admit that I secretly like this,

I wanna live another life with you,
I'll see you in another life,
Join me in another life,
I'll see you in another when I'm lying to you.

Wrap my brain in cellophane and I present it to you,
Not like I use it, so just see what you can do,
Maybe you could put into a deep-freeze,
Bring it back to the world when the elephant leaves,
Fast forward to a time when you're no longer you,
And I'm no longer me, and we can be something new,
We'll say goodbye to our identity crisis, 
And die of boredom 'cause we secretly liked it,

I wanna live another life with you,
I'll see you in another life,
Join me in another life,
Join me in another lie,
I'll see you in another life,
I'll see you and another, and I'll be lying to you."

All of the stuff below was written a decade ago so none of it is really relevant any more.
~Bob (2023)

Geek. Miserable so-and-so. Square peg in a round hole with daydreams of living happily ever after by the sea.

After almost a decade as songwriter, bassplayer and singer with the band Betamax, with all it's highs and lows, I found myself suffering a severe case of writers block. All Things Bob is my attempt to find a cure with an ongoing and growing collection of musical experiments. All music, instrumentation, lyrics, recording and production is done by me. My techniques, both from a song-writing and production point of view, are constantly evolving and improving. I started with a four-track iPhone app and an acoustic guitar in March 2012. 

Hopefully, you'll like like what you hear on my page, and enjoy listening to my journey from just a year ago when I was genuinely unsure if I would ever be able to write another song....

Oh and it should go without saying, but just to be clear - All songs are written, performed and produced by me (unless otherwise stated).

Below are some reviews of my work to date:

"(All Things Bob) is now trying his hand at a solo career and with his new single ‘Home‘, he proves he’s on to a winner.

Having already reached the summit of the MRU charts, this infectiously catchy, up tempo electronically-generated tune has all the makings of a great pop song that could very well take the charts by storm, particularly with summer approaching. With an interesting fusion of musical styles based around a standard guitar/drum/keyboard backing section it is brilliantly enhanced with a deliciously bubblegum pop electronic melody. ‘Home‘ has echoes of recently successful indie-pop acts such as Yeasayer, Cut Copy or Miike Snow, and will no doubt generate similar levels of appeal.

The song’s technological age-inspired lyrics are ironically geeky, adding a bit of tongue-in-cheek charm to proceedings, while the memorable chorus hook together with Bob's David Byrne-esque vocal delivery both add to the like-ability factor. Perfectly timed, perfectly weighted and without an irritating over-reliance on electronic after effects, it is very difficult not to like a song like ‘Home.

This single will almost certainly be a massive hit and a great springboard for his All Things Bob solo-project."
~James Glynn, Music Review Unsigned

"Former Bass player and songwriter of Betamax, All Things Bob offers some catchy melodies that are fused with some enjoyable electronic undertones."
~ Outskirt Noise

"Writing, playing, singing and recording everything himself, his music ranges from classic British guitar-pop to bedroom-electro oddness and grungy guitar rage, mixing it all into an astonishingly accomplished and melodic pure pop whole"
~ Rich Morris, Soundblab.com

"...the New Wave genre is blown wide apart by his streamlined Power-Pop and Punk diversity" 
~ Andy Woodcraft, Mojophenia

"There's no sign of a struggle for material; these tracks sound fully-formed and well though out. Most recent track 'Drone (Happiness Awaits You)' could have graced a Graham Coxon album, in fact many songs here have a touch of Blur about them. The sound is still punky (see 'Turn The Tide' or 'Another Life') but includes a few sonic experiments in the background. As far as highlights go then 'Unselected' stands out, sounding at points like it could be the work of Bob Mould; when he does slow things down for 'Seasons' the standard is the same, proving this is no one-trick pony. With the writers block banished (are we reassured of this on the excellent 'I'm Fine Now'?) we can surely now look forward to more things Bob."

"....split up new wave with punk, and a bit of pop, it would sound like this"
