Writing Process

As you may know, we vowed recently to writing a new batch of songs. We have been playing some of them for over a year (we realised recently that we actually played 2 of them at our first ever gig) and whilst they are decent enough songs, we have recently been writing darker more complex songs which really impressed each other. I fucking hate it when you go see a band and they don't play anything off their first album! Luckily for us we don't have an album har har, but we have played the old songs enough to know that 'Soldier Bear' is worth keeping and semi new song 'Mechacabras'. it was infact Mecha that inspired us to keep writing. We just came up with it one week when Jon was away. When he returned and added the balls to it, we knew we had a new direction.

The songs we are currently working on all have structure, but no words. every song has a working title which means nothing other than either what it sounds like or a random comment that coined the song name at the time. So far we are working on: Rancho Relaxo, Truckers, Disaster, Chunky, Math. The last two are really new songs that have only come about in the last few weeks. They sound pretty damn cool so far.

We are working hard to get these songs together. Drop C tuning has given us a whole new playing field not only with tone but with vocal range (which none of us really have, but if you imagine we now have a bit!).
