What's appnin?

It's gone a bit quiet while we work on a load of new songs, the first three were finished consecutively but 6 (yes 6) new ones are all crashing around at the same time. We don't restrict ourselves to any particular style so expect to hear some Blues, Indie, Folk and Country stuff very soon :)

Song #04 - Come Into My House - The first song from our Rock Opera LOL

A dark little tune that sees us taking a step in the "Musical" direction where we hear a Fagin style drug dealer giving his sales pitch to a nieve new victim. Vocal influences - Peter Hammill (Van der Graaf Generator). Once more we have to credit Steve Andrews for the excellent guitar solo and various other noodlings.

The background to - Song #03 - Route 66 Revisited

The dreamy ramblings of someone (Martyn) who wishes that he'd lived in America and plied Route 66 in a big fat gas guzzler when Rock and Roll was in it's heyday. Extra guitar noodling's were generously supplied by my old mate Steve Andrews of Arizona good ol' USA (he lives somewhere in the picture above).

The story behind - Song #02 - Bombsite Bodiceas

Bombsite Boadiceas was inspired by an exhibition of pictures taken by Ken Russell

(film director) of 1950's Teddy Girls in London. The song was recorded live at our rehearsal studio on January 12th, 2012 with our band MARTIAN SIGNALS.

What it's about - Song #01 - Surely It Can't Be True

A tongue in cheek comment on the very serious subject of global warming, pollution and other nasty things that effect our lives in the 21st century.
