Take old skool rave, add indie/punk sensibilities and anarchist politics, shake vigorously, then see what happens...
Total semi-competent amateur and proud of it! There are currently 10 full albums, 5 EPs and numerous stray tracks available here... keep checking up, cos more music is appearing all the time... For album and EP artwork, visit . If you think you can stomach more of this shit, then why not check the , and wonder at my musical development (or lack thereof...)

Story behind the song
This is a song about putting on a front and pretending everything is OK when it isn't... it was partly inspired by some lines from a Subhumans song called "Mickey Mouse Is Dead": "People hide their problems Behind their faces of content They hide 'em, 'til it kills 'em And no-one is exempt, not even you" I wrote the music for this a few days after a long and heavy conversation with one of my mates, when it became apparent that the theme of those lines was all too true and relevant... I then asked Midge to write some lyrics cos I didn't think I could write something without embarrassing my mates by making public private matters.
Lyrics
Ask me how I'm feeling and I'm feeling fine You wouldn't understand the battle in my mind Meet me in the street and I've got a smile All it hides is a mouth of bile and hate Got the drugs, keeps me off the ward Cut myself when I'm feeling bored Hid away in a long-sleeved shirt You wouldn't know how it feels to hurt like this So I'm singing this from deep inside the hellhole that's become my life I might think that you've got it swell but then again you can never tell Spare some time for a shit like me Blinded by a future I don't want to see It's my fault I'm just sick inside Need help but it's pills that they provide Cold wind and the night draws in Magic pills meant to ease the pain Dirty thoughts seeping in my brain "Yeah man, I'm right as rain"
