We are heading to Birmingham tomorrow then to Derby and last show down here in Brighton.

Its gonna be long ass drive there and back.

I hope all goes to plan and I have no issues.

My gig amp is down waiting on new tubes to arrive I ordered Svetlana el34 ( i was recommended that based on my “needs”)

So, taking my Jcm2000 instead, I never used this amp for gig and I hope it wont let me down as I will be far far away from home.

We shall see…..

I’ll report back

That's 1200 better than a JCM800... #SpinalTapLogic

Well, mini tour is over. We played hometown on Sunday and it was great playing home again. Crowd loved our set, we sold merch, gained new followers and overall it was great experience.

There were few surprises on this tour, bands pulling out last min and and having to find replacement but we managed and we crushed it.

All around was great vibes and really good experience.


Heres to more to come

Some of you know we went in studio to record out next song.

What a nightmare it turned out to be…..

He would send mix and ask us about our opinions, we would write them on drop box comment with timestamps…. He would either miss them or ignore them and would send same mix with “amendments” , I would find random noises and parts not fixed which we asked…. Other guitarist gave exact instructions what he wanted with his delay…. Yet he would either ignore it or could not do what was asked.

Song would have random vol drops and in some spots with many other things like that. As a producer, how you not hearing this and think this is ok to send over???? With about 10mix we were getting close to removing unwanted things but in the end it sounded like we recorded it on clock radio….

Bassist said to him this track sounds like a demo and not studio production, if you heard it on Spotify it would not stand out…. Then he asks us to send that playlist… sigh

How you now understanding this???

Then he mixes again using Slayer as ref track…. So our song went from HD to VHS quality…..

After 10th mix we decided to ask for files so we can get someone else to mix it…..
After analysing files…..



Looks like I have to re-track my parts as the way he edited that shit cant be mixed…. Ive only listened to my parts im sure there will be other issues.

Oh man … Im disappointed is under statement.

Its a shame as he done good job on previous song … I think he just dose not care anymore.

To be continued…

Lots of things happening in my band at the moment too much drama lama….

We are playing gig on 9th with Ukrainian punk band Death Pill not sure if any of you heard of them….Not my cup of tea but my drummer is in love with them.

We have about three gigs booked. Then we are planning to replace our singer… I never liked his singing and it makes my ears bleed if Im brutally honest. I kept trying to make him improve but no luck. So he has to to go.

Plan is to find better singer but its going to be hard as fuck. So, I might step up to the mic, I rather just play guitar but if I have to Ill do it.


Bassist is going to be replaced too, he still does not know parts and keeps missing rehearsals… so, Im thinking after these three gigs they will be both gone.

I got my mate Andy who will take bass position, his got his shit together and his willing to put work in but he cant join us after new year.

On top of all this… Im getting a divorce … My wife of 16y has ended it.

Almost lost a job because I have no patience for BS and I went toe to toe with with that cunt of the customer. LoL

Im on my final warning….

Im kind of proud that HR rewriting polices and updating terms of conditions because of me hahaha

Anyways boys and girls

Im still forging through fire and my soul refuses to be put down.

Lets hope gig goes well and I can reformat my life.


Live to play thrash

Sorry to hear about your impending divorce man, that really sucks. Best of luck sorting through all the emotions that come with that.
Hang in there, and keep thrashing the best you can! You'll make it work.

Thanks dude…
It is what it is. It sucks but Ill be alright. I always find my way out of dark. It will take to remove knife from my back tho.

Its not that not that stab that kills you, its when you turn around and you see whos holding the knife!

I have no choice but to march on.

Make new music and find my place in life again.

It did come crushing down.

Last 5 years has been brutal but Im still standing.

Had a stroke
Lost my cab due to stoke
My long time bro got gun downed ( shot him 8times him and his other friend)
Wife run off with someone else
I burned through all my savings because I was unable to work for 1 year.

Now, I have to sell house and move. It hurts man because I worked so hard to get this house. 3 bed house with drive and massive garden… I cant afford that on my own so probably I’ll end up in house share with my mates.

Shit is never ending….

But I refuse to give up. My come back will be different … old me is dead!

Lets see what life will throw at me next.
