A song I wrote whilst living at my little studio in Hendon around 2006. Recorded by Richard Mann and myself. We didn't really know what we were doing but it was fun trying. We were experimenting with me playing all the instruments, as we didn't really know anyone! We started with an acoustic guitar track then put drums and bass on etc. Good memories!

Better and better

Walk My Line

A song written but the underground legend that is Larry Weaver of Spongers fame. This is my more gentle version that I made him play rhythm guitar and backing vocals on at Bell Lane studios with my recording stalwart Richard Mann at the helm. We made Larry play it about 20 times and you've never heard moaning like it. Anyway, worth it in the end as I actually still really like this recording and mix compared to the other demos on this page. Thanks for reading this far. All other instruments by me JS the one writing this.

Wednesday Again

A track I wrote many moons ago, it was a call for us to stick together despite Blair and Bush doing their best attempt to destroy the world. It also talks of climate change, an issue i've been parroting on about since 1998! Recording and singing is very earnest and not exactly what i'd call tight, but hey I was a one man band so gimme a break!

Stick Together

A 'hit' back on myspace all those years ago, this was my only attempt to write a proper cheesy pop song. It sounds like Thomas the Tank Engine or something now but was one of the first tracks I wrote so was never gonna be great! the words are about being invaded by aliens and upon meeting them, I offer them a nice cold beer. Recorded at Bell Lane with Richard Mann around 2005. All instruments by Joe the practicing one man band..

Captain Blackthorn

I'm grumbling about something, probably politics and realising life is one big fucked up ball of bollocks. Whilst still in my utopian vision phase.  Started using harmonica and developing my drumming skills on this one too. Recorded with Richard Mann at Bell Lane studios. All music and recording by myself, again.

Their Way

A track I was lucky enough to record at Ridge Farm Studios in Sussex with richard Mann. With Garf from Wobby Squadron on drums. Recording sounds okay but I really was very energetic in whatever I did all those years ago!
