We head into the studio in less than a month to record our new EP. That currently means a lot of late night pre-production sessions. Beyond excited to get these new tunes recorded and sharing them with the world. #studio #recording #sweetlavalampright? #homestudio #demos #eatdefeat #coffeeismyfriend #thatandjetlag #poppunk #punkrock #skatepunk

This has been a ridiculously long time coming. I’ve been meaning to write and record some specifically acoustic songs for so long, but for whatever reason it’s always been put on the backburner. I bought a new acoustic guitar recently, with the specific intention of writing and playing more solo stuff, but again it just wasn’t happening. I think the main reason for that was that I was determined to not just write sad songs about breakups and feeling down. But ultimately, when that’s all that comes out, that’s all that comes out.

So this is a sad song about breakups and feeling down. I’m hoping that with this out of my system I can start writing some more fun songs. But still, I like it. The recording is real rough, I haven’t slaved over the musicianship or the production, but it’s nice. If you for whatever reason decide to listen to it, it’d be nice to know what you thought.

I have a facebook page over at www.facebook.com/Summersisacoolguy that might be updated at some point. Go like me.

Myself to Myself

I thought about you today And i wondered what i'd say if i should see you in the street: i'd probably just stare at my feet I'd wave the white flag, and i'd hastily retreat Come to think of it, i doubt you'd acknowledge me

But we were close Just not as close as you think For all the things we had in common we were never quite in sync And you were so naive to think that things would just work out As if taking three steps backwards wasn't a valid cause for doubt And i'm still here, and you're still there And i'm sure you still don't care About my health, my future plans, or the condition of my van But i'd just like you to understand

That i know what it's like to feel lost and alone To start losing your friends with no place to call home But i keep myself to myself Because i know i won't let myself down I keep myself to myself But it's starting to wear me down

I threw all the cliches at the wall that day Like 'i still love you, just not in that way' You were too focused on the how and not the why, You said you never knew me and i think you might be right

Just not as right as you think For all the things we had in common we were never quite in sync And you were so naive to think that things would just work out As if taking three steps backwards wasn't a valid cause for doubt And i'm still here, and you're still there And i'm sure you still don't care About my health, my future plans, or the condition of my van But i'd just like you to understand

That i know what it's like to feel lost and alone To start losing your friends with no place to call home But i keep myself to myself Because i know i won't let myself down I keep myself to myself But it's starting to wear me down

Maybe it's time i stopped asking 'what else could i do?' and shout 'well what else would i do?' If i had to do it all again, i'd make the same mistakes and end up in the same dead ends With the same old van and the same new friends Telling myself that we'll live, we'll learn and we'll make amends For the bridges we've burnt, and the people we've hurt, You asked me how i sleep at night: i said i don't But i'm learning to be happy with myself And realise i'm not a man of spiritual wealth But a man content to enjoy the life he leads So i don't need you to tell me that i'm lacking self belief Because i'm not I'm all i've got And that's just fine

So a few months ago we put out a new EP. If you like fun, upbeat, singalong pop punk then you might dig it.

Listen/purchase: It’s Always Sunny In Yorkshire by Eat Defeat

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE LAST USED TUMBLR.

It's been over 2 years. In that time, we've toured mainland Europe twice, changed half of our members, recorded a new EP and made the attached music video. Bring yourself up to speed watching it, as we're going to be getting a lot busier and using Tumblr 1000% more.
