this is kind of amazing! The super fast beat but normal speed vocal line, it's a cool effect. Came from the Reddit post. Will check out more.

Sitting down to my fifth pie and pint of the week, I realised that something must change.
There’s an unnerving feeling that you get when you know that you are digging your own grave.
Deep down in the dirt, covered in the muck. Always up to something, never up to much.
They know my name there, you know? There’s no shame in there, you know?

Is this the time to discard bases?
Lose ourselves in separate places?
Drown in seas of strangers faces?
All these changes.

And as the old gents left and they drew the curtains, suds fell flatter and I flatter still.
Past pride and dignity, there is just, still, one more bitter pill.
Deep down in the depths, I stop to catch my breath. I jump up on my feet. It is never safe to rest.
They’ve seen it all in there, you know? From brown to blue, to green to blow.

And down South’s a million miles away, from pot banks and pits and men of clay.
I fear it’s true, what they all say, “you are free to leave but you will always stay.”

Between the Oak and the Oatcake Shop, is where I stop to cut my cloth.
They say it’s true, we know it’s not, you can always twist on what you’ve got.

Gaze at moon and start to trot, to chippy’s fryers, spitting hot.
To poultry packaged perfectly, I drift across an endless sea.

Digging Your Own Grave

Something About This Place

Winlaton (win-lay-ton) is the third single released by the Ilfords since their 2022 rebirth.

Our David on Winlaton: 'Winlaton was written during deep lockdown. Nothing was open and late night running was the only space I had to myself. I suppose it reflects on what methods you can try to use when you feel lost. On one late night trek however, I realised I wasn’t just lost mentally at that time but geographically as I’d managed to run all the way to Winlaton.'

Produced, Engineered and Mixed by Ady Hall and Lee McCarthy of Sugar House Productions
Recorded at Catalyst Studios, St Helens
Mastered by Nick Watson of Fluid Mastering

Brother (YKTDY)
Is a very nostalgic song for me. Most songs touch on the subject of love, the only difference here is that I wanted to write a song about how much I love my mates. I wanted to share some of the story’s and memories we lived through in our younger years. Growing up in Moston (Manchester). The good times. The bad times. It’s celebrating he family we choose, in our case our brothers. Life is never plain sailing but I like to think that is about who you are with not where you are. In this industry iv met a lot of privileged people but I honestly wouldn’t change our upbringing for the world. I’m proud of where I’m from & I love my mates so I wrote a song about it. Enjoy.

Bad Parents

B. Hamilton is songwriter Ryan Christopher Parks and drummer Raj Kumar Ojha (Once and Future Band). They cut their teeth in the warehouse days of Oakland around 2010 and recorded ramshackle records in flophouse attics, former army barracks turned Mills College noise musician housing, and their rehearsal space in Jack London Square that looks like an early 80’s accounting office, and a set from one of the “Saw” movies. 
 
Existing before and after tech created complete chaos in Oakland is the subject of a number of their songs. Other songs are about other things. Like cancer, John Wayne, and buying lottery tickets after church.
 
2024’s “The Freest Speech Ever Attempted Without Disintegrating” is about Elon Musk, kind of. 
 
“I tried to write a bunch of stuff about him, but ended up writing about the same loneliness and lack of connection that everyone has experienced at some point in their lives,” said Parks. “It’s the same loneliness that humanity might be leaning into as we go toward whatever the future is.”
 
I wrote this entire bio like you can't tell it's me writing it. I even referred to myself as "Parks," in the last paragraph like I'm a Naval whistleblower on "60 Minutes." Writing these things is the goddamn worst. Alright, have a good day.
