It’s James Joseph, formerly of Holding Absence. I started jamming with housemate James Biss in late 2019. We were playing shitty covers of QOTSA and Nirvana in our garage and just having a total blast doing it. Both of us at the time were in different bands – me being in Holding Absence that was a full time/career touring band. Jamming in the garage was the most we’d enjoyed music in quite some time and we decided that it could be cool to follow the joy and try and make some music that was just straight up rock. We recorded an EP in 2020 during the Covid Pandemic entitled False Start’ as we had planned to play some shows but couldn’t due to the lockdown. Recording the songs in the garage this way was technically our first time playing as a full band. 

Honest rock with punk and alt rock influences.

Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stone Age, Manic Street Preachers, Smashing Pumpkins. 

This song was written during a difficult time towards the end of writing album two. We would often take walks around a lake in Cardiff near the garage where we self-record and write together. The lake offers a welcome break from being stuck inside and staring up at the stars and trees can often give fresh perspective or just balance to a stressful situation.
