The snare on these recordings sounds very Bun E. Carlos from Cheap Trick. Needless to say, I’m very moist.

I can’t wait to get gigging again. I have no idea what version of Ginge Knievil is gonna show up, but it’s gonna be exciting finding out. See you on a stage in spring ‘26!

Le Pub in Newport is our home for the day. Here, we’ll lay the foundations for our debut single. It’s called “I Want Something I Don’t Care About.” It’s gonna be mega. 💥

Michael’s organised chaos for tomorrow. But where is he going and what is he doing? 🤔

Demos are ongoing. This time, Ginge is tackling a Michael Partridge composition. Think Hold Steady, think Jimmy Eat World, think Leatherface. Ginge is obviously turning it into Cheap Trick. Will there be a “whoa?” You bet your arse there will be! More news dropping on 18th October. 👀

It’s Ginge’s birthday. He had a new mic and stand so he’s been practicing playing rock stars in front of the bedroom mirror.

Last session at Green Rooms in Treforest last night. We’re now progressing onto something really exciting. We’ll keep you all posted ASAP. In the meantime, here’s a photo of Ginge taking a photo of Michael taking a photo of Dave. We’re nailing this social media thing! 😂

Today, I completed the vocal demos on the newest song. It’s a bit darker than normal, but I guess it reflects my mood. Still catchy, though. Particularly chuffed at some harmony attempts. It weighs in at a massive 4 minutes and 10 seconds. Prog-tastic, mate! Not ‘arf.

Productive day as I laid down some guitars for a new song. The lead lick sits nicely over the rhythm parts. Michael, our lead guitarist by default, says it sounds like Guns N’ Roses. I told him not to worry about learning it, as I won’t be able to play the stupid thing again anyway!

Things are getting serious. Michael is building a new pedal board because he was told he is the lead guitarist in the band. Is this big enough?

Ginge’s regular blurry-eyed Tuesday night view at Green Rooms in the Rhondda. We’re adding a song a week and trust us when we say it’s starting to sound massive. BOOM! 💥

Here’s Darren. He’s feigning interest in one of Michael’s wrestling stories and secretly wishes he was up the club with a nice, crisp, refreshing pint of Carling Black Label. 🍺 🤣

Went all Paul Heaton last night with a music stand for my lyrics. I don’t even know who I am anymore.

Another practice in the bag and another night of infectious catchy punk rock ‘n’ roll. We’re unsure if Michael knew he was gonna play lead guitar when he joined the band, but it’s too late to go back now!! 😂

Last week’s noise was magic. Same again next week? You bet! Let’s be having it!! 💥

Have a great Bank Holiday, folks. Don’t do anything we wouldn’t do. 😉
