lyrics:
same old tired game
seems i can never change
still blush at your name

let go of my pride
think of you each time
everything i tried

i know you wanna erase me
all of 2016

but you still got your nose ring
the one we got together
and even if you take it out
the scar will stay forever

smaller victories
piece by piece
retrain my memory
you're just a habit now
and you found love somehow
a wife, a kid, a house 

and now you don't wanna know me
all of 2016

but you still got your nose ring
the one we got together
and even if you take it out
the scar will stay forever

i will stay forever
i will stay forever 

but you still got your nose ring
the one we got together
and even if you take it out
the scar will stay forever

nose ring

'Terrorist With a Gentle Heart' is the fourth single from my third album 'No Cages'.

The track will be released on Friday 5th September 2025 and will be available to download and stream from all major sites, as well as from my Bandcamp store.

'Terrorist With a Gentle Heart' is a song about what it's like to be a vegan in a non-vegan world. It was inspired by a friend who once declared to me that vegans are just a bunch of terrorists. 

The album 'No Cages' is available on limited edition CD, and to download and stream.

'No Cages' is my third album, and my first in seven years.

It features the singles 'Simple Life', 'Incomplete' and 'I Would Have Left This Party By Now (If It Wasn't For You)'.

It is my first collection of predominantly animal rights songs and covers topics such as intensive chicken farming, toxic masculinity, humane-washing / greenwashing, and the perception of vegans by a non-vegan world. The project also covers other themes such as loss and loneliness, how technology is disconnecting us from the real world, escaping from the human race, and the beauty of the ground beneath our feet.

It has been a labour of love, taking over two years to complete, delayed by various set-backs, most noticeably damage to my vocal chords.

The album features over 40 contributors from across the world, including Vegan Queen V, Liz Mitchell (Terrorvision), Ian Haywood, Giles Bryant, and Chaos Collective (Blur). It was recorded at Half-ton Studios in Milton by Neil Rogers, mastered by Pete Maher (U2, Pixies), and features artwork by Tom Jones.

In Spite Of Ourselves

In Spite of Ourselves (feat. Iris DeMent)

Since his Alligator debut 30 years ago, Southern blues-rock guitar wizard, vocalist and songwriter Tinsley Ellis has become a bona fide worldwide guitar hero. The Chicago Sun-Times says, “It’s hard to overstate the raw power of his music.” Now, he makes his triumphant return to Alligator Records with a powerful new album, Winning Hand. Armed with his signature molten licks, melodic riffs and rousing, intense solos, Ellis, as his legions of fans will attest, is among the blues world’s best-loved, hardest working and most well-travelled statesmen. He has performed in all 50 United States as well as in Canada, Western and Eastern Europe, Australia and South America, earning legions of fans with his guitar virtuosity, passionate vocals and memorable original songs. Ellis is also revered as a guitarist’s guitarist, with famous friends including Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Oliver Wood, Jonny Lang and members of Widespread Panic calling on him to sit in and jam. “A musician never got famous staying home,” he says.  

Recorded in Nashville and produced by Ellis and keyboardist Kevin McKendree, the ten brilliantly performed, fervently sung tracks on Winning Hand include nine originals, ranging from blistering blues to heart-pounding rock to soulful ballads. As his only cover song, Ellis pays tribute to his greatest guitar-playing and songwriting influences with a Freddie King-inspired version of rock legend Leon Russell’s Dixie Lullaby. “Guitar, guitar, guitar is what this album is all about,” says Ellis, who recorded primarily with his 1959 Fender Stratocaster, his 1967 Gibson ES 345 and his 1973 Les Paul Deluxe. Guitar World says, “Ellis’ playing sparkles with depth and subtlety. Whether playing deep, slow blues or uptempo rockers, Ellis rides a gorgeously fat, pure tone.”
