“Dead Artform” on radio

a visual representation of a radio broadcast… ???

Dead Artform got some airplay on Dexter Bentley’s HelloGoodbye Show on Resonance FM – listen here…

Also on Exile FM’s Songbird Sessions – listen here.

It’s been a couple of years since I was last on the radio, so this feels good (can recommend the programmes as a whole, too).

There’s another review out as well, on a Spanish zine called Dequeruza – read here… “carries the rebellious spirit of British alternative rock, yet his themes extend far beyond national borders”. I’m an international scumbag!

I’m also told by some AI that “dequeruza” translated means “doing something carefully, sneakily, suspiciously, or on the down-low”, which totally fits. Yeah, not bad at all.

Dead Artform single: first reviews

trust that doc(ument)

Three reviews for Dead Artform and some radio play in prospect… Not a bad haul.

Joyzine says: “a bravely paradoxical take down of the song format”

The Other Side: “you like the excitement and the mischief it exudes”

Trust The Doc: “packed with energy and intent”

Yeah, a good start. And it feels good to play this game once again. Anyway, check them out and have a listen to the single, see if you agree… Verify!

Dead Artform: new single out today

Eyeless Records just released the lead single from my upcoming album (out in time for Halloween)…

It’s a “furious focused laser beam of punk rock!” according to them, and who am I to argue. It’s been a long time on the horizon for lots of reasons, never quite materialising but always just… over… there… And now, suddenly, it’s here.

Enjoy x

The past is a revenant! (God Is In The CD re-issue)

BANDCAMP link here

The past is a revenant: it’s come back to haunt me on this re-issued compilation album, courtesy God Is In The TV zine.

It dates from two decades ago, when I was in a band called Empty Vessels, and the track on here features the most out-of-tune lead guitar I’ve ever committed to record. (I don’t think I was ever meant to play a Stratocaster… The universe clearly agreed.)

Anyway, it’s cute to look back on now.

More info via the links, but here’s the froth of the blurb:

This November marks twenty years since the release of GOD IS IN THE CD (GIITCD), an Underground Compilation of UK music in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Today, we announce a reissue with a digital version featuring bonus tracks for £5 and a limited run of CDs available for £6. Funds raised from the digital reissue will go towards the hosting and redesign of GIITTV, with half of the funds raised from physical CD sales of the reissue going to Macmillan Cancer Charity.

It’s on Bandcamp for all you grave-robbers out there x

Ruination (an update)

coming soon?

A long-overdue update on what’s going on with the new album:

As previously mentioned, I was due to release in April with Analogue Trash. Sadly, they’ve wound up the label side of their operation, so that’s no longer happening. What is happening… hopefully… is that I’m working again with Eyeless Records to put it out in (at time of writing) June-July. There’s not much more to report, as life’s chaotic at present, with lots of stuff up in the air – I’m very aware I’m not the only one that can say that, and my problems are small, but it’s hard to know what else to share right now. Anyway, I’m going to carry on regardless. More news as and when.
