Video – It’s an Unwrap!
Just for fun, I filmed a short video of myself unwrapping the new Xmas album, Sad Tidings! Oh what jolly hi-jinks ensued. I have just published the video on YouTube, but you can view it via the embed below. The video quality is not first rate as it was done…

Sad Tidings
I finally finished the mastering and sequencing of our fabulous Christmas album. It will be called Sad Tidings and will feature 8 songs. Essentially, it is remastered versions of our previous Xmas singles and lots of new stuff and revamps: all beautifully sequenced into a killer Christmas album. It will…

On the first Friday of the month since March of 2020, we’ve waived our revenue share to help support artists on Bandcamp.

New Site Design
Over the last couple of (very late) nights I have been redesigning the website. It’s a long way from being finished, but it is fully functioning and working without issues. I just need to finish some menus and admin stuff. The new design will enable much easier expansion and extra…

What’s Going on With Bandcamp?
As some of you may know, Bandcamp has been sold again to another investment company. This is twice in two years, I think. This is very worrying. So far, there have been no changes to how they do business or how they treat artists on the platform. As far as…

The Hits Keep Coming!
Released today is another new song! This song was going to be on the Don’t Look Down (at the End of the World) album. It was the second part to Groundfall I. However, I didn’t like the guitars and some of the keyboard choices so decided to shelve it for…
