The debut album...

Burn a Little Brighter

They came from the desert, the city and the countryside to descend on one humble recording studio on the south coast of Wales. 10 months and 10 songs later there was an album. An album of stories and melody, sincere and intimate; Burn a Little Brighter. Listen / buy now

I got bitten. It was like, 1993/1994. I was in the Gulf, and it really stung. the venom stayed in me for 10 years or so. I moved to Australia, and thats where I guess the shit started to show, like, I mean, when the full moon came through and the fangs started to fang, you know?....I moved from Australia to the UK in 2004.

So it’s now 2009.

Burn A Little Brighter. 15 years in the making? Definitely 5 years of composing…. I s’pose the previous 10 was spent with that venom streaming through my veins, the smell of the desert from my bedroom window…. worth it though. Still feels good. Like the feeling of that clean 3-4 footer crashing over your head for the first time, or the smell of the early morning break when you’re stood at the shore waitng for the set. Burn A Little Brighter.

It’s the sound of 15 years, as i see it.

Here’s to the next 15.
