Ok but did you know that as of *checks notes* literally RIGHT NOW you can order 'Escape Hatch Fever' on vinyl?

AND it's the first ever vinyl release by the label - LAL-V001? Ultra limited edition first run of 50 copies only?

Can't say I didn't tell you!

An unreleased song with unambiguous meaning. It's a wonder there's no revolution. This song will be visible only for the weekend of 18th & 19th October 2025 (UK time), to show solidarity with the millions of #NoKings marchers across the US.

Peace Lives.

Ever have one of those days where you go to enter your rehearsal space & a spider drops down from above, bounces off your head, and immediately dies inside the steaming cup of tea you're holding?

Good evening. Hell of a week. I'm just coming up for air!

Do you ever have one of those months where you're just not feeling social media?

Horrified by plans for compulsory digital ID cards. This undermines civil liberties. Comparisons such as Estonia, where there is more trust in public institutions, are invalid. What if the next government is more authoritarian than Labour? Furthermore, not in the 2024 election manifesto. #DigitalID

I'm playing live tonight if you're in #Plymouth at The B Bar from 8pm. If you don't know the B Bar - it's the best intimate live music venue in the city! Come & get acquainted.

Kay Scoble is singing with me tonight - and she's an absolute powerhouse of soul.

Your goal as an artist is to be wary of anyone who wants to tell you what your goal as an artist should be

Thanks for all your responses here. It will be very interesting to see what John has to say. For my part, I've never been able to live wholly off of music, although at times it's been a decent second income. The landscape changes every day for Indies. I'd like know more about these pickups you make?

Any blood moon enthusiasts out there? Other people have Xmas songs. I have a song for tonight: open.spotify.com/track/3zJJqG...

If you're an independent musician or someone who cares about the scene, you owe it to yourself to read @johnreed.bandcamp.com's latest blog about why he's giving up putting out solo projects. As he says in this: musicians cannot subsist on a diet of thin air. www.johnreedmusic.com/announcement...

I may have gone mad.

For this #BandcampFriday we’ve put the price of every single digital download on our Bandcamp down to £0.

Bearing in mind I run a record label. That's a LOT of free music.

It’s technically a pay what you want deal so..

Explore lightsandlines.bandcamp.com

Tell your friends!

Good afternoon & here's a reminder that, over a long enough timeline, guitars are much cheaper than therapy.

You're welcome!

So I saw @mike1infive.bsky.social last night for a few beers here in deepest Devon, and like some kind of merch wizard he magicked up some unexpected Gozer Goodspeed badges for me & a LAL mug too! Don't ever let anyone tell you that being signed to an independent label doesn't have its perks! 😄
