Just great sonics on your tracks. Part shoegaze, part Byrdsy harmonies. And the rich guitars of both. Just consistently good. You deserve a big audience for your stuff.

Love your reverb drenched vocals. Very 80s sounding. Nice work

Very interesting. Very unique. Very visual. Great production.

Lovely vocals harmonising over a cool sonic setting

Really dig the way the guitar and percussion blend together, good stuff as always 🤘

Really haunting production on the vocals man, top track

Love the guitar and the crescendo around 2:45 brings new energy to an already awesome mix :)

An old band tune from an EP from 1988. 35 years ago...how'd THAT happen?

Watch us work, watch us work these words.
Act our lives out; subversive roles rehearsed.
Some men toil, toil within their faith.
Someone has to, to delay our fate.

Carrying water, water to the flames…
this our resolve, without coin or fame.

A brilliant light, a light of pure insight
within our minds, burning past the blight.

This our cross, this our cross to bear
for all is prone to disperse in the air.
Knowledge stands wilting in our hands
as darkness falls over the face of man.

One Day it Will All Come Down

In a world where we all live with broken dreams,
Through the storms we will walk, legs shackled in chains
With fiery eyes, Uncontrollable rage
Still defiance in faces. Our souls are still wild
With passionate cries, we fight for our places
We’ve seen all the signs, we’ve seen all the signs
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.
Bridge
Oooooh. Ooooh. Oooooh, OOOOH
We’ll be holding on with fire in our eyes.
We’ll be fighting on with fire in our hearts
We’ll be floating on, onto paradise
We’ll be holding on, onto paradise
We’ll Carry on
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.

Floating Through Fire

Lyrics: 

I remember when
We laid on that autumn lawn 
I was faded 
You were already gone 

We were  
Raiding your father’s bar
Stealing kisses 
in between the passing cars
 
you asked me if you
looked good in my sweater
I don’t recall which of us
Wore it better 

you’re always smiling when 
you’re looking at your phone
cigarette breaks
pacing around the lawn 

it took a little while for you 
to let me in 
I heard you tell your friend 
“I don’t even know him”

Where did you get
Those bruises on your back?
What you told me then
Serious as a heart attack    
 
I think about you
lying in my bed alone
Don’t know why this 
causes me to burn

You said you loved me 
I thought it was a mystery
Things like this only 
Happen in to me

I know now why things 
Are prettier from afar 
Like planets, continents, and stars

But I don’t think
That I could ever swim that far

I'll never swim that far

October 11th - Emptiness Edit

Lyrics: 

I been spendin’ some time
 thinking
It took a while but it’s 
sunk in

I didn’t know what I
Was after 
You wanted love but that 
Didn’t matter

I get that you were were prolly’
A blessing
I hate that I was just so 
Damn messy 

I feel like you were the only one
That gets me
Now I just want you to be 
With me 

I know you’ve been 
you've been lookin’ at me, 
You’ve been lookin’ at me
Baby what’s the hold up?

I know you’ve been   
Lookin’ at me, 
checkin’ my feeds
Baby take your clothes off 

I know you’ve been 
Lookin’ at me, ring ring 
Always blowing my phone up

I know you’ve been 
lookin’ at me, 
you’ve been 
lookin’ at me
Baby what’s the hold up?

I got word you moved
into the city 
Got a new boyfriend 
Damn, he’s pretty 

I’m always looking
For action 
But never can get any 
Satisfaction 

It’s a little funny how things
Turn out 
Going round in circles
In this burn out 

I thought that if you’d be
With it
You could drop by
And we could just kick it

I know you’ve been 
You been Lookin’ at me, 
Been lookin’ at me
Baby what’s the hold up?

I know you’ve been 
You’ve been Lookin’ at me, 
checkin’ my feeds
Baby take your clothes off 

I know you’ve been 
You’ve been Lookin’ at me, ring ring 
Always blowing my phone up

I know you’ve been 
Lookin’ at me, lookin’ at me
Baby what’s the hold up?

Lookin' @ Me - Emptiness Edit

Lyrics: 

How long has it been? 
Your last boyfriend
Haven’t seen you since 
It took a little while to get it

Call and reminisce 
Callin to confess 
I know all your sins 
I won’t forget them

Say it under your breath
Think that I won’t hear it
‘cause I don’t want to fight 
over if I ever loved you 

How long has it been?
Your last boyfriend
Haven’t seen you since 
It took a little while to get it

This time oh, this time 
Boy, practice what you preach 
If I say what’s on my mind 
You know it’s never pretty 

Say it under your breath
Think that I won’t hear it
‘cause I don’t want to fight
Over everything we’ve been through

Under Your Breath - Emptiness Edit

Tennessee Dry Rot

90's Inspired rock made in Metro Detroit.

Do you remember when, we'd get loose and tear it up, and do it all again.
The days just blasted by we'd get our fill one more time, do it on our own.

No need to socialize in a place we go to die.
I might be here tomorrow, but I'm gone today.
Cross the line we circumvent, trading faith for ill-content.
I might be here tomorrow, but I'm gone today.

Youthful magic can turn tragic, when you wait to long.
And now another round, annihilate the things you found the other side of numb....

No need to socialize in a place you go to die.
I might be here tomorrow, but I'm gone today.
Cross the line we circumvent, trading faith for ill-content.
I might be here tomorrow, but I'm gone today.

By and by our wars collide, saving it for yesterday.
And when it's done, the villain won, saving it for yesterday.

Saving Yesterday

"Aunque me muera" es una hipérbole de los sentimientos tóxicos, obsesiones, apegos y pensamientos posesivos que muchos confunden con el amor.

Música: Lorena Gutiérrez y Raymundo Bosch
Producción musical y Arreglos: Puerto Anónimo

Aunque Me Muera (Instrumental)

Another TWS track, with JC on lead vox, Stooj backing

LYRICS:

We’re just dry stones balanced on our rough edges
Glued with moss and air
Make a wall that stands forever
Keeps the cut grass from the wild

these stones might stand forever,
but those edges make a ladder
Anger climbs

If horns are made to lock
And ears are made to block
Then slammed doors need a knock
Boats are made to rock

My mouth is full of pins
Sharpened words pointed in
If I let them out, my pain ends
But yours begins
These teeth are filed sharp
When they bite, they leave a mark
So I bite my tongue for everlong

We’ve forgotten what it’s like
The flick of hate, the prick of fight
The moment when the tears fall
We’re dead inside, we had it all

The Fight

The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock duo made up of Stu Head and John Culkin. Formed at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period, their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration from their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and psychedelic.

Stu and John are old friends of over 20 years. Both originally from the Greater Manchester area, they met at university in Leeds in 2000. The band name refers to a street they lived on as students.

Both Stu and John sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards and drums across their various tracks (along with a few less conventional instruments.) They mix and produce all of their own music.

New tracks always in the works and posted right here!

Thanks for visiting.
