Back in the saddle...

Two entries in as many days!  Wow!

Things are back in motion!  As you'll have seen on the Home page we've uploaded two new sets of lyrics on the Songs page, and we hope to have listenable versions of the tracks for you soon...

Hold On is a straight forward rocker which has had more than one incarnation over the last year or so... initially it was the 3rd (ish) track Pete and Grae had written together and was more or less complete about the same time as Those Who Watch but it seemed to go flat and very soon the entire lyric, other than the hook, was dropped and something else was looked for.  Over time the track became a studio warm-up for Grae's vocal sessions and it never got past that, until Daymo heard it one day and staked a claim!  With the second guitar, and a new solo, the track gained a new lease of life and it's been worked on slowly since early December...

These Four Walls is a direct result of too much of the rock'n'roll life (if such a thing is possible!).  Written after a few trips away and much listening to the likes of AC/DC and Airbourne between sessions of copious German Pils, These Four Walls is one of those all out, 'balls out', rockers that make the crowds go wild and bang their heads 'til the soun comes up... it'll be great, we promise ;)

Pete and Grae are now discussing a schedule over the next week or two for working on some additional material which we hope to have ready fairly soon...

The hiatus we discussed early in January is still ongoing and at the time it seemed, to us at least, that it may be a bad thing, but in hindsight perhaps the break is just what we needed?  Three of us had worked pretty much solidly on the project since it came together early in 2008 and, especially towards the end of the year, it kind of grew a life of its own and took over everything... in the current climate it's important that we all keep at least one foot firmly bedded in reality and this break has enabled us to do that, find our footing, get a bearing, and head off in the right direction.

2009 can now move forward, and MR will make the most of it, we'll continue to work behind the scenes for the next few weeks fine tuning the material, working on the set, and then... well, you'll just have to come and see, won't you ;)

All the best,

Grae, Pete, Daymo, Andy & Gibbo
