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."

"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."
