Coming On Strong

Ode to Billy Bragg and Joe Strummer. Song about life in Britain in the second and third decades of the 21st century.

Hard Working People

Inspired by our current world of full on surveillance. Musically owes a lot to Suede influences. Thanks to Kid J Teruel for lead guitar (latter influenced by Bernard Butler!) Thanks to Alef "Chief" Ahmed for additional acoustic guitar. Recorded  & drum programming by Drew. Lead voice Drew.

Looking At You

Based on a news article about Chip Bergh, the head of Levi jeans, in which he talks about dining around the world doing business deals over dinner. The finale of the story is he strikes a deal with the San Francisco 49ers National Football Team to advertise in their arena. Authentic singing from a former US resident of San Diego!

Dining Around The World

Influenced by Robert Cray tracks especially Smoking Gun, this is a story of what it's like when your girlfriend or boyfriend doesn't answer your calls. They'll find their way back in the end - at least this is the optimistic carefree mantra!

Find Your Way Home

The story of love and freedom with a metaphor of the sea.

Woman of the Sea

A song about being in a lockdown. 
Note there were technical issues loading this track as aif/ wav so this is a lower quality MP3. Every time I loaded the aif or wav track the Soundcloud player played the next track " Woman of the Sea" by default so uploaded different format.
