oof. both mixes are so good. tough to decide on a fav. i love them both equally. these lyrics are so relatable. i sometimes wish i where a high powered record executive and sign up folks on soundcloud. love your artwork too!

this version has more volume to it - this I like - love the lyrics and the attitude!

this is nice, not as funky as the other mix.......but i think the vocal melody comes through better!

this one here is definately a good thing!

Scotty: guitars, lyrics, vocals
Tommy: bass, keys

Dusk

Produced By Robert Ruby

This song was inspired by someone close to me who is in a battle with addiction

Those Demons

This song is a stray single that relates to an album Dwight Schenk and I did earlier in 2022, "Wight Arc" (available at https://dwightschenk.bandcamp.com) and will be also available on an album I intend to release on CD Baby later this year or early next year.

Dwight Schenk: guitalele, percussion and backing vocals; mastering; cover art.
Marc Fedak: vocals, digital piano, sampled mellotron; mixing; lyrics and music.

from salamander to fish

Lord Kitchener, the calypso king, arrived at Tilbury docks 21 June 1948, on the Windrush. https://youtu.be/Zlv4dkS-s8w

Despite living and working in the UK for decades, many of the Windrush generation's children were told they were there illegally because of a lack of official paperwork. The scandal, which broke in April 2018, saw the UK government belatedly apologise for deportation threats made.

Footnote: I purchased my first guitar, an Epiphone studio dot and a small fender amp and I decided to add to this track having looked up the three chords, blushin' at my audacity!

Gimme Da Ting (Lord Kitchener)

Orgy at Zero Gravity (feat. melodywhore)

Leaves are Falling All Around

My ego run rampant! Starting my own cult of personality, living in abandoned empty big box stores with my family of followers. No takers so far...
Please play this Captain Beefheart inspired song LOUD!
From the EP "Smilers"
Lyrics:
Pulling off the highway
In some dusty, sunny suburban town
I'm going to start my own cult
I'm gonna call  it "TheTemple of the Stumpgrinder blues"
It will get you out of that catatonic state
Bloated bursting bellies
C'mon fill your plate
C'mon C'mon
I'm about as subtle as a car crash
You're all invited to my
All night
Day-glo
Ego bash
But, you're gonna have to bow down
Everybody in their life
Has to bow down
Stumpgrinder
Stumgrind

You know what you know
You do what you do
That's how you ended up here
Living in a burned out big box store
There's something missing out there
There's something missing in your life
(Something missing in your life?)
Your gonna bow down
Stumpgrinder
Stumpgrind

Living in a  burned out big box store
It's got everything you need
Fishing tackle and gear
Diamond encrusted wrinkle cream
Budweiser
Red beans and rice
Polyurethane sleeping bags
For 43% more warmth at night
Transistor radio
With a long antenna
Set to an oldie station
Bloated bursting bellies
Of fulfillment
All sales final!

Stumpgrinder

Originally this was going to be a sing-songy track, but then my fingers couldn't stop strolling in the deep end deed-tales, and now we're all entangled by yet another instru-mental.

Soar-y.

In The Weeds, Fingers Entangled Firmamently

'tarnished ground'

Falsestart: drums, bass, production
Little Lone Waltz: lyrics, vocals
Jonathan Beckenstein: lead guitars
Scotty: rhythm guitar, lyrics, vocals

The darkness all around, 
it pulls me down into the ground
and, yet, I've found my being sound.
For the light that shines through found
some truths, confound.
A strange compound.

The fall of light rebounds
and calls on tarnished ground.
The fall of light glows round
and calls a distant sound.

tarnished ground (with Falsestart, Little Lone Waltz and Jonathan Beckenstein)

the captain, mad captain
he told the men his plans
and then they went out stealing things
so they could rule these lands

they stole four antique cannons from the castle
hijacked a truckload of metal from the factory
they stole a jet engine from the old air force base
the mad captain nodded satisfactorily

they welded the metal into a battering ram
and the big jet engine was for extra speed
cannons armed in every direction
the mad captain had returned to the sea (x2)

they were a terror in the open waters
they’d sink any ship that they saw
and with their jet engine, they were able to avoid apprehension
and stay a step ahead of the law

vengeance in the form of a storm
came rolling across the sea
the mad captain pulled his eyes from the sky
he’d seen more than he wanted to see
"all hands below deck", the captain roared
"tie yourself down so you don’t go overboard"

From The Other Side

Want Me Forever?

Every Good Thing

The Cat is currently sleeping while I look for a singer....
If you're interested in being part of Cat Came Back V2.0......drop me a line.....

Cat Came Back (up to 2023) were:
Gina Graham - vocals 
Graeme Mc Pherson - bass, keyboards, samples, beats, production. 
Music written by Graeme, words by Gina.

Our music can also be found on most of the popular streaming platforms but I can't guarantee it will always be there or even here on Soundcloud for that matter.... 
So if you really liked anything you heard here and want to keep it, please visit our Bandcamp page. Or if not ours, support someone else's music you've heard here - it's a tangible gesture that will make their day. 
There's a link below to my personal Bandcamp purchases and recommendations, many of which were artists I discovered here on Soundcloud.

Thanks for listening, Graeme.
