Our latest track 'Salvation' is a raw indie/psych rocker.
Sam's beats and Marcus' bass drive the tune throughout with some riffy vibes on top from Josh & Jake.
Joe is finally back into the band and holding things together on the acoustic.
This heartfelt story comes courtesy of Marcus, who wrote the lyrics upon returning home to Wales after his travels.
Recorded in Sam & Joe's front room in May '19. 
Recorded, edited, and mastered by our main man Callum Lloyd Williams.

'You were my friend
When I thought it was the end
You were by far the most important girl so far
It’s my salvation from the past

Who you are is still a mystery thus far
I thought I’d learn, but seems like all I’ve done is crawl
To follow you and that embrace of which I yearn
Now I’m still here with empty arms

I thought always, I’d get to see you from a far
I treated you as if you were a star
I know my worth. A pair of eyes just gazing up
And still no luck, and still no love.

I soon depart
The weight lifted from my heart
Rescued at last
It’s my salvation from the past

Who you are is still a mystery thus far
I thought I’d learn, but seems like all I’ve done is crawl
To follow you and that embrace of which I yearn
Now I’m still here with empty arms
 
I thought always, I’d get to see you from a far
I treated you as if you were a star
I know my worth. A pair of eyes just gazing up
And still no luck, and still no love.'

The Penguin Podcast: Caroline Criado Perez with Nihal Arthanayake

At sixty-four, Jenni Murray's weight had become a disability. She avoided the scales, she wore a uniform of baggy black clothes, refused to make connections between her weight and health issues and told herself that she was fat and happy. She was certainly fat. But the happy part was an Oscar-winning performance. In private she lived with a growing sense of fear and misery that it would probably kill her before she made it to seventy.

Interwoven with the science, social history and psychology of weight management Fat Cow, Fat Chance is a refreshingly honest account of what it’s like to be fat when society dictates that skinny is the norm. It asks why we overeat and why, when the weight is finally lost through dieting, do we simply pile the pounds back on again? How do we help young people become comfortable with the way they look? What are the consequences of the obesity epidemic for an already overstretched NHS? And, whilst fat shaming is so often called out, why is it that shouting ‘fat cow’ at a woman in the street hasn’t been included in the list of hate crimes?

Fusing politics, science and personal pain, this is a powerful exploration of our battle with obesity.

Fat Cow, Fat Chance

Is it possible to venture beyond daily living and experience heightened states of awareness?

In this highly anticipated new book, integrative medicine pioneer and New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra states that a higher state of consciousness is available here and now, for us all. Chopra unlocks the secrets to moving beyond our present limitations of the mind to access a field of infinite possibilities and reach our full potential. How do you achieve this? By becoming metahuman.

Drawing from the latest research on neuroscience, artificial intelligence and biometrics, Chopra offers a practical 31 day guide to help us ‘wake up’ at the deepest level in order to liberate ourselves from the conditioning and constructs that underlie anxiety, tension and ego driven demands. Only then does your infinite potential become your personal reality.

It started with a bit of politics in the news. Nothing out of the ordinary.

But then the Scottish border closed.

Manchester was besieged by rival forces.

The bombs started to fall.

The Fletcher family doesn't have time for politics; they are just trying to love and look after each other. But as the UK dissolves into conflict, they find themselves in danger. Not just from dodgy neighbours with brand new machine guns, but from inside their own family.

What would happen if the UK broke apart? One family faces Britain's next civil war.
