Daddy, It Feels Like There's Stones In My Gums

"Comfort zones are like prison walls, best viewed from the other side...Main man Shaun Barry has a history of musical prison breaks...the band really come into their own as a live experience with bass, saxophone, keys and a range of triggered samples & strange effects...to not just replicate the original sound but move the music onto a whole higher plane...it's what you imagine progressive rock would be like if it had been dreamt up in the late fifties...it mixes psychedelic blues, progressive structures, old school rock & roll grooves, modern sampling, spoken word & manic shoegazy guitar wig outs... No two people will come away with the same description of what they've just witnessed...imparts more feeling, evokes a much more emotive response, conjures images & thoughts and washes into the soul much more readily than any number of complex haired rockers or earnest balladeers...it probably won’t be your normal music experience, but hey, who needs normal when you have majestic?..."
