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 ...

Story behind the song
This is essentially an attempt at subverting dance music by contrasting the usual guff about freedom with the actual realities and shortcomings of club culture. And yes, that's me trying to sing.... *blushes furiously*
Lyrics
Freedom is a state of mind But it costs 10 quid at the door You can leave your woes behind And lose your mind on the floor Queue 15 minutes at the bar For a pint of piss and get fleeced Bouncers glaring in the darkness, yeah That's the truth of this scene Cos it's all about the money! It's all about selling you your fun Your liberty is rented Just like your holidays in the sun Meet a dealer in the toilets And buy a couple of pills In an hour you'll be buzzing Thank god for chemical thrills Cos that's when the magic happens That's when the crowd becomes one Peace, love, respect and unity reigns Until the break of dawn.... yeah... But inevitably you'll come down And freedom is just a memory Then comes Monday morning And the return to slavery Cos you've got to work to earn your wage And spend your wage buying your fun Liberty is just a commodity that Only the rich can afford to own Living for the weekend! You're dead for the rest of the week Living for the weekend! You're dead for the rest of the week Freedom must mean more than your right to party Freedom must mean more than your right to party Freedom must mean more than your right to party Freedom must mean more than just.... Saturday night....
