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...) I now also have a page dedicated to I've done for other people... Finally, there's also a wee side project that I have which goes by the name ...

Lyrics
Life has a way of forcing your hand Push you forward or over before you know where you stand No time to get your bearings before you make your move Got to make your decisions before you know the truth Can't stand back, can't calculate All important experience always comes too late Think you've got it figured, the equation's changed You know there's no way you can win this game Cos like Forrest Gump, there's no guide on the box Hard labour for life, a chain-gang breaking rocks Working for reasons that have no utility Dream of the Good Life, an exercise in futility Cos now is all that matters, no future's guaranteed One day it'll be worth it, one day you'll be dead You slave for your future, you slave for your wage But there's nowt in the small print saying you'll ever get paid Trouble with life is it's gone before you know it You only get one chance and it's so easy to blow it You plant a seed and don't live to see it growing When it's all said and done, what's left to show for it? Yes, life has a way of forcing your hand Push you forward or over before you know where you stand No time to get your bearings before you make your move Got to make your decisions before you know the truth Can't stand back, can't calculate All important experience always comes too late Think you've got it figured, the equation's changed You know there's no way you can win this game Cos life has no rehearsal and not much of a plot And the stage direction doesn't help a lot Just go through the motions and you can't go wrong Miming along to someone else's song Fuck all that, I always wanted something more Than a shitty existence before I drop through the trap door Wanna be my own director and write my own lines But I need more space and I need more time Trouble with life is it's gone before you know it You only get one chance and it's so easy to blow it You plant a seed and don't live to see it growing When it's all said and done, what's left to show for it?
