Inspired by Abraham Lincoln speech on November 19, 1863, this original song by Jammit the Band embodies one of the greatest words spoken to mankind about liberty and freedom, bringing to the present day a light of social and individual justice, safety and liberty. Even if written more than 
Two Hundred years ago, chanting the speech was an amazing experience from the first moments. Thus a great melody, incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away is set for such great words. 
JAMMIT THE BAND, a sincere musical vibe of World Music, Reggae, and Ska. An Oriental, Mediterranean soul, influenced by the African-Jamaican and Blues rhythms.
CHANTING: 
TEN SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO, OUR FATHERS BROUGHT FORTH UPON THIS CONTINENT A NEW NATION					
SO CONCEIVED, AND DEDICATED TO THE PROPOSITION THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUALLY, FOR ETERNITY.
NOW WE ARE ENGAGED IN A GREAT WAR, TESTING WHETHER THIS NATION OR ANY OTHER NATION SO CONCEIVED CAN LONG ENDURE.
We conclude this beautiful chant, with the great words of David Hinds (from Steel Pulse), which says:
“Tomorrow is what we’re on about, Tomorrow is what we’re on about............................................. not Yesterday”

Lyrics:
Lost, discolored photographs
Of strangers, fancy cocktails in their hands
Their cigarettes had no effect back then
 
Take the train down to the seaside
Feel your skin slowly roasting in the sun
Before the war turns everything to hell
 
Let’s go back to the golden ages
The treasured past where nothing changes
The idealised view of a simpler way of life
That never was and never will be ours
 
Smiling brides or swallowed pride(s)
Funny how the mind sees only what it wants to see
And everyone looks better off in black and white
They all seem better off in black and white
 
Oh let’s go back to the golden ages
The treasured past where nothing changes
The idealised view of a simpler way of life
Where we could feel more real
 
Lost discolored photographs
Funny how the city looked so much more inviting then
Sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever get it back
I wonder will we ever get it back

Black and White (Demo Version)

From the Glitches and Drones 2013-2016 album

Glitches and Drones 2013-2016

Mothers Make Murders

Demo version from the upcoming album:

I'll make it up to you with ink and wounds and scars
I'll make it up to you with earthly pleasures
I'll make it up to you with an unexpected smile
I'll make it up to you with hidden treasures
When we sing along
When we come undone
Now we head to the sun
Now we burn like scum
I'll make it up to you with a hiss with piss with eternal bliss
I'll make it up to you with a kiss and poisoned feathers and cursed summers and stormy weather

I'll make it up to you (Demo Version)

A very close friend of mine needed/requested music she could sleep on.

All music was made in one take with no cuts and no overdubbs on electric guitar.

Music for Sleeping Masks

From our upcoming album 'Chance Meetings', recorded at Auber Mansion.

Track 10 from our upcoming album 'Chance Meetings', recorded at Auber Mansion.
Drums by Pascal Semerdjian.

Turn your tricks into schemes
Hold the flood to the shore
Clean your wounds in the sea
Switch your mind to my feed
Hold that thought for me 
Words don't grow on trees 
It seems it all disappears 
Castles of concrete fall eventually 
Nightmares hang on dreams
Keep me up till the dawn we were never teens
Nightmares hang on dreams
Keep me up till the dawn we're forever teens

It seems it all disappears

Opening track from the "On The Rooftop Looking Up" album.
The whole album is performed on guitar.
