Hey everyone its Declan here, updating the blog this time.
In the past while there's been a mushroom cloud of creativity flowing from each and everyone of us and it's definitely showing in our music. You'll be suprised by the music we are making - its alot bigger and more anthemic, sounds you'd most likely hear from a much bigger band. It's always been an aim of ours to make music that's iconic and sounds great and I’m sure we’ll shock alot of people when they get to hear the new stuff. The songs aswell have alot more time spent on them this time round, because we've realized how much more content can be put into a song to make it unique and more pouncing. We've had a bit of a break away from the studio and Friday was the first time we'd been in for a while. We were a bit rusty at first but we began to churn out a few good songs from jamming, this is the beauty I love about being in this band, we can go into the studio and immediately jam and it becomes a song in seconds, its almost like now we have our trademark sound but expect alot more from us because you will love the new ones if you like our songs just now.
Throughout the songs we all have our individual input, and thers no restrictions to the way we play. It’s all a big creative explosion crammed into a song, for instance I’m still keeping the basics behind the song but adding more creative and chunky beats to songs. The songs need something like that; they are alot harder and need that edge. Aswell Stuart has been adding alot more catchier, harder guitar which I can picture fans will be chanting the guitar pattern during gigs which personally, is something I want to hear when I go to gigs. Its something of a picture in my head with the crowd bouncing to our music, Stuart is the one that gives the songs that energy. Aswell Steven’s bass playing is getting much more powerful, it’s very earthy and gives the back bone to the song. As I said earlier, our aim is to make groundbreaking music and we’re trying to do something that an unsigned band hasn't done before which will make us stand out by a mile to any teenage band or any band atoll. See we aren’t just a teenage band, we actually make music that means something to a very high standard, we are never satisfied with what we do to an extent, yes, but we’re always hunting for something else that’ll be better than the stuff we’ve already done. In my perspective our songs are very good but some of them need that extra oomph, but in general they are great songs, and they’ve got alot of potential and I think the future is bright for us.
With gigs coming up, our first one is in a couple of week’s time so time is getting on, pretty nervous to be honest. We're truly sorry that people under the age of 18 can't make it because its an over’s but you'll get a chance to hear our material throughout the summer as we plan to do a series of gigs over the holidays. As for preparation, the mood is pretty relaxed from what I have noticed but behind the scenes I’m pretty nervous, but I’m positive when we go out there - we'll be buzzing and the songs will sound great. As far as the first gig goes, all the material we play will be brand new, although there will be exceptions for the gigs later in the summer.
We hope you enjoy the summer and we'll keep you up to date with all the latest news on the new gigs so keep eyes peeled and we'll see you in the near future.
Declan.
