I Don't Wanna

Where People Have Been

Okay

Preston Blank (Single Version)

The initial idea for the song was written by Andy (drummer) while visiting friends in London. After a tiring journey from Bristol he went to tackle the somewhat crowded northern-line. When he arrived at his stop (Burnt Oak) he waited for his friends at the tube entrance. It was then when he saw and heard an open top sports car cruising to a heavy hip-hop beat. To this day none of the band have been able to identify what the music was that Andy heard but it sparked the writing of the song that was later to be chosen for the EP!

Burnt Oak

Where did you travel to? And where are you now?

You left your computer on, it's a light that flickers sound

But the light isn't dimming now, It's gone in the wind

It threw me off balance and… I felt the pressure end. 

But your name it starts with something, and that letter has run thin

and the offices that lit the block, grow weaker with a tick, a nod, a wave 

It would be nice if you showed up your face for us all - but who am I that's kidding?

Metropolis

A song written out of frustration during a long car journey to a venue. Nobody in the band could agree on which to trust, the road atlas or the satnav, both of which were conflicting. The band took the route as suggested by the map and got lost in the darkest woods of the Forest of Dean. After enlisting help from a local shaman (Robin Jones) the band we're told that the road atlas wouldn't help them (it was out of date) and that they would have to take the darkest road in the forest to get to the venue. The shaman gave (singer) Ollie a newt in a sealed jam jar as a token of good luck and by the time the band reached their destination the newt had vanished! It's not the strangest thing that has happened to No Atlas but it's definitely in the top 20!
