One of the first nights back from tour/studio I wrote a new song. Love it when whole songs just write themselves. Here's the first minute (excuse the bad phone quality).

CRUCIAMENTUM update - 

Having followed Cruciamentum for years, it was a huge honour to be asked to join on bass following their recent line-up change. Rehearsals with myself and new drummer J.F are in place in preperation for some exciting shows, and new material for a 2017 release is sounding crushing.

Audio-Cover are a 5-piece band based in County Durham playing weddings, civil ceremonies, partys and functions.

AUDIO COVER update - 

I have been loving playing in Audio Cover this past year. Its great to explore all types of playing, all different audiences and how different types of bands work. This is one of the most professional and driven projects i have ever been a part of. We are always taking bookings for weddings, parties and events, so if you or anyone you know are interested in a 5 piece pop/rock covers band with over 2-3 hours worth of material, all our own equipment and lights, a professional attitude and competitve prices, don't hesitate to get in touch at www.audio-cover.co.uk, contact.

DAN ROCHESTER update - 

This is the acoustic project that some of you might have seen videos of. One of the most passionate things i've played in years, i'm currently nearing completion of song 5, and once i have enough songs, i plan on taking it live, either on my own or with a 2nd guitarist & bassist. Anyone wanting instrumental acoustic music or know where does, let me know.

Waves

Bedroom recording of my latest track, Waves.

LEIGH FREDA update - 

I have started the drum programming for the upcoming EP entitled 'Psychotica', which features 5 songs, all of which i can't wait to hear as final versions. Its a very thought out and layered EP with really catchy pop hooks next to dark, at times post rock melodies. Looking forward to contributing guitar and bass to it.

BONE TOMB update - 

The debut album is coming along great, with drums, bass and all electric and acoustic guitars complete, and vocals, keys and extra instruments up next to be recorded. Really looking forward to completing and getting this album out and having people hear what i've been excited about for 2 years now.

VACIVUS update - 

New material has been recorded and will be released this year. Productivity has been at an all time high and we have more than enough songs for a full length album. Some new material will be debuted at future shows this year, including Gathering of the Morbid Fest, Bristol (25/10),Glasgow supporting Angelcorpse (29/10), and more shows which i’m very excited to announce soon.

SPARTAN WARRIOR update - We are very close to finishing our 4th full length album, finally. One more vocal track to go then onto mixing and mastering. We have some great shows coming up - Edinburgh with Tysondog (15/07), Glaston-Bury Bury (29/08) British Steel Fest in France (15/09) plus Europe and London dates for 2017. Very excited to get the album out as every song we have played from it live so far has went down a storm, so can't wait to hear what people think of the rest of it.
