Here is a song featuring my dear friend Jamie Armstrong on vocals. We used to play in a band called Tripswitch for many years and we put our hearts and souls into it, gave literally everything. This the first time we have done anything together for 10 years so it's an absolute pleasure and honour to tread some old ground.

 I use the name 'Sparralimb' for my solo material and demos which is a joke made about how injury prone I am and feeble (Sparrow limbs) lol. It's better than 'Matchstick Rick' which I also used to be called haha..

Too Far Gone is totally home recorded. All the music is written, performed and recorded by me and all the words and vocals are written and performed by Jamie. We really hope you enjoy this song and thank you for all of the support.

Too Far Gone

Too Far Gone (Featuring Jamie Armstrong)

Quirky, punky, alt rock and drum n bass song. No point in pretending it's not Covid influenced but it also mainly about pretending to be alright, anxiety, self hatred failure and fear. All while smiling to keep others happy when you actually just want to scream help. Recorded at home with my things and instruments. Thank you to anyone who gives this a go, truly means the world to me.

Sparralimb - The Test

It's a cold day and the fiery gates open my way
It's a cold day yet the smoke blocks my way

I'm tired...
My fear floats away

It's a cool day my thoughts of you just fade away
It's a cool day just a memory of warmer days

My fear floats away

Hands of glass holding lies, holding sands of time
Wake me up let me know that I'm still alive

My fear floats away

Hands of glass holding lies, holding sands of time
Wake me up let me know that I'm still alive

Dark and moody song influenced by The Cure, Deftones and Tool. A privilege too have two of my closest friends work on this with me. Jamie Armstrong (who also sang on Too Far Gone) from my old band Tripswitch and Geoff Standeven from my recent band Saboteurs. This is a different style all in all for me but very pleased with how it turned out and i'm a big fan of Jamie's vocals and style and also love Geoff's bass lines on the later half of the song.

This one is a slow burn and I truly appreciate anyone checking it out. You can pre save it here - https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/sparralimb/little-agonies-feat-jamie-armstrong

One Track Mind original Tripswitch version recorded at Gems studio in Boston Lincolnshire. This song is more progressive and influenced by Tool than other Tripswitch songs. One Track Mind is also a song by Saboteurs which is loosely based on this version and adapted as a tribute to old friends.  Rick and Pete from Tripswitch now play guitar and drums respectively in Saboteurs. #dancewiththehunted
