We recorded 'The Rorschach Test' in September 2005 as a 10-track album (well, 11 tracks really - perhaps more about that later).  Subsequent events led to only four tracks from these sessions being released as an EP to coincide with some major touring events, the idea being that we were saving our full-length debut for when we scored a bigger deal further down the line.  

Six and a half years later no such deal seems to be forthcoming, so we thought those of you who bought the EP might like to hear the other fruits of those sessions.  Enjoy.

Falling Backwards

OK But Not Alright (Rough Mix)

With a few exceptions on the grounds of audio quality and good taste, here's pretty much everything we did in a studio as a band.  Fill your boots.

1-2 - 'Your Mother Stets Clocks In Hull' - First demo, made for virtually nothing in Redditch and Kidderminster, August 2004.
3-6 - 'Fulgurite' - Second demo, recorded in a barn where we got snowed in and drank a lot, January 2005.
7-9 - Kerrang! Radio session, recorded in Studio 3 at Parr Street, Liverpool, whilst Coldplay weren't looking.  February 2005.

10 - Extra track from the 'Rorschach' sessions.  Too disco for a 'hardcore' label.  September 2005.
11-12 - Outhouse Studios, Reading.  Rinsing the free lunches.  February 2006.
13-14 - 12dB Studios, London.  Not totally sure what was going on there.  September 2005.
15-16 - Crash Factory, Nottingham.  Re-discovering the joy of noise.  September 2005.

...And a few cool tracks from a rehearsal recording, July 2006.
