Math rock/Emo/Midwest Emo band from Norwich, United Kingdom. Quite a nice band may I say. Their music is melodious, calming, melancholy and all around pleasant to listen to.
I really recommend giving their 2008-09 recordings a listen. On YouTube, they're seperated into various singles but they're all there to listen to. On their website is where you see them categorize all these songs as 2008-09 recordings. Which, unrelated but related, check out their website, all their information and even mp3 downloads are on there!
All the songs on their 08-09 recordings are great.
Open Closed Open on their 2008-2009 recordings hits so beautifully for me. Especially one of the opening guitar sounds (at least I think it's the guitar). The vocals at around 1:30 are beautiful.
The intro to Pilot Holes is quite nice. Nice song overall. The outro was a bit unexpected.
Does Not Want has a part at 0:50 that is quite euphonious. That bass sounds so pleasant alongside the other instruments.
I couldn't see someone not liking these songs. They're so pleasant to listen to. At the very least, I could imagine someone being neutral, but someone showing distaste towards them? I couldn't imagine it.
When I saw that one of the members, Henry Tremain (guitar/vocals) was the vocalist of TTNG (Hank) it all made sense. Of course he's in both of these two melodically wonderful bands. No wonder I enjoy the both of them!
They're touring with Algernon Cadwallader in the UK. FAWK. I wish so deeply that I could go. What a shame. Those two bands performing at the same show... perfect.

The Summit Tunnel: Where Nature Meets Iron
There is something hauntingly beautiful about the way the Pennine landscape tries to reclaim the Summit Tunnel. Built by the Manchester and Leeds Railway, this tunnel was once the ultimate symbol of the industrial revolution.
Today, it’s a place of contrasts:
The dark, gaping mouth of the portal framed by summer ferns.
The monolithic air shafts standing like sentinels on the lonely moors.
The sudden burst of color as a modern Class 150 emerges from the Victorian darkness.
Deep dive into the history and see more views of the Summit Tunnel over on the blog.

Additionally, a lot of age-old practices such as heather burning and moorland draining have been halted to return the reserve to a wild stat

Welcome to my photography blog, which I created on World Photography Day 2024.
Originally from North Wales, I now live in a town in the Pennines, with my wife Jane (also a keen photographer)
As a Photographer, I particulary enjoy landscape photography, especially in dramatic and wild locations in the great outdoors.
Here's an interesting one I captured on Deer's Gallows - a gritstone rocky outcrop, near Skipton, UK.
I hope you will enjoy my photo blogs on here. :-)
