Dark, brooding indie pop invocation of the natural law of Karma.

Vocal - Sarah Jane Honeywell, Bass & vocals - Tim Kirby, Keys - Mark Lord. Produced by Mark Lord at Supernature Music.

As Above, So Below - Karma is Watching You

Another classic from the Diatribe vault. The intro used to be considerably longer at live shows, much to the consternation of the more faint hearted members of the audience. This line up featured Tim Kirby on Bass & Vocals, Jonathan Kirby on Drums and Dave Bessell on guitar.

Diatribe - Goose Green

An often overlooked gem from the 'Waiting For The War' collection - short, but sweet. Tim Kirby on bass & vocals, Andy Shillito on guitars, Jonathan Kirby on drums.

The Cabal - Expensive Friends

Everybody I used to hang around with at the time of writing thought this song was about them. It wasn't, it was about me.

Vocals - Tim Kirby, Guitars - Andy Shillito, Drums - Jonathan Kirby

The Cabal - Time To Say Goodbye

From the 'Diatribe' Peel session. The Kirby brothers teamed up with Andy Fenn on guitar for this one, another prophetic tale of a failed relationship that ends in flames.

Diatribe - Burn

Another self-fulfilling  prophesy of a song. Like life, it takes a while to get going,  flies high and magnificently for a while and then ends quite abruptly.

The full compliment of the Cabal - Tim Kirby, Bass & Vocals, Jonathan Kirby, Drums, Andy Shilitto, Guitar & Bass, Neil Bryant, Guitar

The Cabal - Ain't That A Shame

Album version of the Cabal/Diatribe classic 'The Educated Man' 

The Educated Man

The mighty Cabal's finest hour?  Quite possibly. Kirby, Kirby, Shillito and Bryant give their all.

Don't Talk To Me

Tim Kirby's voice sampled and chopped up over trance. Unbelievable but true, this was made on a PS1. 

As Above, So Below - Company Of Fools

Waiting For The War (John Peel Session Version)

Control Freak Mix Inst

Written long before I was aware of the disease model of addiction and when I was well on the road to manifesting full blown alcoholism and addiction at the ripe old age of 24, although from the lyric it was pretty obvious that I knew where I was heading. 'Continue your journey into the fire, throw your hands in horror....' A Dave Bessall composition to which my brother and I were very happy to lend our venom.
