Sparks from the City

So I have finally managed pry my hands away from the mixing and finally put the EP out (you have no idea how much I want to just push faders about). I told myself I have made on a budget of stuff I have owned for years and it already sounds good for what is basically a bedroom demo. So after I argued with myself I uploaded it, along with an unheard song, Clockwork and it can now be downloaded for any price you want to pay, including FREE.

It is a mix of rock, pop, indie, electronic, chip and guitars…and my mouth.
Hope you enjoy it, chummmmmmmmmmmmmms!

With Love & Science

My new band now has a name, With Love & Science, and a whole bunch of pages all over the net. So far we only have the one demo but soon enough we will have a handful of new demos to show off our C64 electro pop.

Here is the links to all our pages, feel free to join.

Let’s talk about 8-bit electro pop music

For a while now I have wanted to play my solo music live but I know I am not a particularly good front man, just muttering between songs and singing almost in tune. So after a couple of false starts with looking for singers in London I have finally got together with someone I have know for about eight years from Hull.

I have had quite a lot of music already made or started, most of which is asking for vocals but never got any, either through me not having chance or just not being able to. Also some of this music is very electronic, which is good, but live I want to play guitar because it is my strongest instrument but the guitar doesn’t work with the song.

So far we have a couple of songs right on the edge of completion, just need a bit more practise or a few lyrics adding, and have a handful more waiting to be worked on. We decided to upload our first (almost) finished song for people to hear and see what our aim is with the band.
I have always had a soft spot for the sounds of the C64 so that is playing a big part in the electronic side of the music. The line-up is currently just me and David Hargreaves playing to a backing track of drums and synths, but if things go well sometime in the future we may bring in more live musicians.

Also we don’t yet have a name.
