The third track from The Hellfire Club sessions in 1982, 'Play Away' fast became a live favourite.

Manic Noises - Play Away (demo 1982)

Before going into the studio proper, Hanging Shed recorded some tracks on 4 track portastudio with Derek Lee. Although the sessions were pretty disastrous this one just about survives. Great guitar riff from Billy Kerr.

Hanging Shed - The Last Exit For The Lost

A poptastic little song from the live sessions at Fortress Studios in 1996.

Fletcher - Natural Girl

Yet another from the Fortress sessions. Pete Thomas did an amazing job capturing our sound on the little 4 track Tascam.

Fletcher - That Face

Fletcher - Cut

Fletcher - Listening To Love Songs

Another Fletcher singalong from the 1996 Fortress sessions.

Fletcher - Not Like Mum And Dad

Fletcher - Sleep

Fletcher - Gee

Rough mix from a live session we recorded direct to MiniDisc (remember those?) at Terminal Studios in Bermondsey, probably late 1999/early 2000. I think we had the millennium bug as the computer crashed and we lost the master!

Rocket Sam – Let Me Cross Over

My all time fave Napoleon Chrome track. Rifftastic!

Napoleon Chrome - Cold War

Drummer. LOUD drummer. I play on all tracks uploaded here - demos of my various bands over the years. Playing only occasionally now with the reformed post-punk band Manic Noises (after 25 years apart)and The Reward. Heroes are Moon, Bonham, Mitchell, Rich (yeah, all the dead ones)but Burnham, Burke etc too i.e. any drummer that sets their drums at 180º flat , not angled. Why? Because they're louder that way!
