I tried to focus more on my mixing in this and the overall quality and tone of guitars. still not perfect but its a start, also please excuse my 'amazing' vocals (chorus only). But it gives you an idea of the direction I was aiming with this track.

These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For

Erase Me

FASCINATING, purveyors of gutter pop from Cleveland, Ohio, return with a hot new cut - a call to action and an assertion of identity in today's nightmarish and skeptical world.  In a mere 80 seconds, "Communist Power" - the first of 12 new songs from an upcoming album of the same name - explodes out of the gate with an anthemic intensity and grit to challenge the corrupted and weary cycle of life in 2018.

LYRICS:

You’ve heard this song before and you’ll hear this song again
It’s the one about how screwin’ ruins being just a friend
And they say for every action there’s an opposite response
So it’s too bad that I love you like I do

I heard what you said and I think that you will find
That you’ll come out ahead if I leave you behind
Now I'm alone and I guess I should've known
Reading all the signs, heeding all the signs

The signs say you don’t care but the signs were always there
And you know I never had the chance to read
And sure I want your soul and your body’s still a goal but then
In the end a friend is what I need

‘Cause you and me paid the price for being free
In the end we always have to pay
But that's ok I can't get there anyway
At least not for today. At least not for today

Hey don’t you know that I do love you so
As we drive out from the mountains and the snow
Through the changing terrain it will change into rain
And I’m not really sure which way to go

But now that’s in the past, I know good things never last
And you're a different person so am I
I'll learn from what occurred but I'll still 
Yearn for what you were
Even though you lied
I guess I’ll let you lie 

I called to hear your voice
I just needed the noise
And for just one second you were still a friend
But then I hung up the phone
Making friends with the dial tone
‘Cause you’ll never be that way for me again

‘Cause you and me paid the price for being free
In the end we always have to pay
But that's ok I can't get there anyway
At least not for today. At least not for today

Hey don’t you know that I do love you so
As we drive out from the mountains and the snow
Through the changing terrain it will change into rain
And I’m not really sure which way to go

Way To Go

Recorded upstairs at Charlottes house or downstairs in Mark's basement in Clevedon around 2004.

We were 13/15 years old and loved Nirvana/ Smashing Pumpkins/ Babes in Toyland/ Sonic Youth/ Foo Fighters/ L7/ Mark Lanegan/ PJ Harvey 

We made music about day to day life, being a teenager in a small town near Bristol. We were full of hormones and the town was full of chavs so we sang about it!

Bristol based producer and creative indie powerhouse She Makes War releases her new double A side single ‘Undone \ London Bites’, from forthcoming album ‘Brace For Impact’ (released 5th October). The songs will be made available online in two stages, with ‘Undone’ on 14th and ‘London Bites’ on 28th September. Analogue music fans are invited to order gorgeous hand packaged vinyl-effect CD singles direct from the artist via Bandcamp.

Written in a daze the day after Laura’s grandmother Constance died last May, ‘Undone’’s monster guitars deliver palpable rage at the bad things that happen to good people, the song acting as an openhearted rallying cry against the British stiff upper lip brigade. “We need to give ourselves a break”, she says. “Giving ourselves time to feel devastated doesn’t make us weak.” ‘I was told I feel too much’, she sang on 2016’s “Paper Thin” (featuring guest vocals by Belly’s Tanya Donelly), but with age, experience and the bitter state of the world comes conformation empathy should be treasured as a rare strength.

Thank you so much Kevin (Mr. Cagey), Fady (Mr. The sporz), Tim (Three Photons) and JJ (Subject To Revision) for giving feedback to the song when the work was in progress!  

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

Hawk Hill

Modesty

Since I've recently been fighting a pretty bad case of ballad-itis, I decided the antidote would be a much harder rocking number and this is the result. I think I'm cured? Kindly excuse my terrible French accent (and the fact that I'm pronouncing English words with a terrible French accent).

LYRICS:

Contretemps
Keep jumping to contusions 
Argument
I don’t wanna shout when you are near

Reprimand
Patience is such a virtue
Firebrand
I swear I’d never hurt you dear

You caress with a fist
You're the one I can't resist
But everything is a fight
Mend the left, cut the right

Your supply is in demand
I'm too stood up to even stand
Your embrace, a succor punch
Shame me twice, fool me (once)

You’re arguably great but I don’t want to fight
Weakness may be might
Armament
(Can’t shout enough to convey)

So arcuately shaped, Eros taking flight
Meek display to night
Permanent
(How I don't want to shout today)

So don’t hold back on my account
‘Cause that account is overdrawn
Now a negative amount
You went past go and got to gone

And with all due respect 
I do not respect you
You're the cause, I'm the effect
But don’t let that affect you

Current Candidates

Contretemps

Lover/maker of everything from Alt/Indie Rock, power pop, jangle, postpunk/new wave, punk, noise pop & shoegaze to darkwave, electronic indie & synthpop. Addicted to chime-y, grimy guitars. I really have no idea what genre I am. Perhaps you'll be kind enough to tell me. All lyrics posted with each track. I'm prone to remaking a single song in a variety of different genres. You've been warned.
