David Newland
Hey to all who stumbled across / were led at gunpoint to this page. These are just a couple of songs I threw together and wondered what the world thought of them. Am a 1 man band from the UK. I play guitars , drums , keys and sing. The songs you hear were made using nothing more than a pc so am hoping to get feedback on the songs / melodies / words themselves rather than the sound levels / production. It doesnt sound like it was recorded in a studio because simply - it wasnt !
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
If you like what you hear , you can try some of my other styles / genres of music at www.davidnewland.net
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I havent played live since I became a solo artist. You'd be suprised how tricky it is playing 5 instruments at once. The last time I tried I got halfway through the 1st verse and collapsed of exhaustion. It was a defining moment for me.
