4 boys from Cornwall making waves

Press:
“Full of Bolshy Spirit” – NME.   “bolshy, brash garage punk rabble-rousers somewhere between the attitude of early Cribs or Libertines colliding with the death or glory of the Clash” – GodsintheTVZine.   “A satisfying mix of classic punk, rock’n’roll and modern indie magic” – Dork    “we could be witnessing the emergence of another great British band. Jaw droppingly good” – Gigslutz  Plenty more where that comes from!

Long Live Tonight

Northern Portrait - Long Live Tonight

Did I play up last night be honest
No gospel tongue when the Bathams hops in
I spoke for an age with a naked sharpness
Though I harp on about who I share my heart with

I'll offer you the world now my hands are tarnished
And part with pride to make peace upon us
But one more jar is the usual promise
Please pardon the demands of a piss artist

You've studied me for years
So why does it take one day for you to understand
And rid my fears
For nothing's worth your tears

Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it
Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it
Don't say you're done, don't say you're done
Cause I'm here for it
Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it

You wanna give me the fruit that she gave to Adam
To grasp the place where I pick my passion
I can't bring myself to trade the pattern
To the hands of the man who steers the wagon

And I'll often foresee it happen
The excitement sparks and it blows the cannon
I'll prove to you who you think I am
As I slur to The Broad Majestic Shannon

Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it
Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it
Don't say you're done, don't say you're done
Cause I'm here for it
Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it

My dear today
Don't turn your face away
My dear today
Don't turn your face away
My dear today
Don't turn your face away
My dear today
Don't turn your face away

Cause you've studied me for years it takes one day for you
To understand and rid my fears
Studied me for years it takes one day for you to understand and rid my fears
Studied me for years it takes one day for you to understand and rid my fears
Studied me for years it takes one day for you to understand my dear

Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it
Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it
Don't say you're done, don't say you're done
Cause I'm here for it
Baby we're alone, we're alone and I'm here for it

My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
My dear
I'm here
I'm here
I'm here
I'm here

Floating Faces

Same Sense

Fire
I’m on fire
And after all this time
I’m still bad
At making up my mind
Are we mad
Or are we out of luck (Feels like I just dreamt you up)

Oh can you lift me up
I’ve been losing touch
With the stars too long

I’m still sad
I feel I’ll be a while
That’s ok
I’ll wait another life
Just to dance
With you another time (Feels like I just dreamt you up)

Oh can you lift me up
I’ve been losing touch
With the stars too long

It feels like I just dreamt you up
It seems like I just dream a lot
It feels like I just dreamt you up
It seems like you don’t dream enough
