We don’t hear a single We don’t hear a hit Have you any new tunes These old ones are all shit If you brought that part forward And played around a bit It might play well with punters We might have a hit That’s not what we’re here for That’s not what you hear for This isn't why you're here This isn't why you're here We don’t hear a single We don’t hear a hit You know where this is going But bear with us for a bit We want to hear some new stuff That makes you want to spit It’s also just like your first hit Then you might have a hit That’s not what we’re here for That’s not what you hear for That's not what we're here for That's not what we're here for words: R. Spence music: A. Goz

Not going to speak till I heard what you have to say Too many times I’ve flown off the handle when things haven’t gone my way I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’ll give you time and enough rope To hang yourself if there’s anything left to hope I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears Maybe you’ll dig yourself out of that hole By keeping on digging like you’re drilling for oil I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I’m all I’m all I’m all ears I still remain to be convinced words: R. Spence music: A. Goz

H is the mass of my heart Crushed by a random factor Was it you or was it chance Or maybe just a crisis actor take into account all variables When calculating R Dependent and independent When calculating R Did you take my feelings Into account when rounding up Or like usual ignore them When it came to mopping up take into account all variables When calculating R Dependent and independent When calculating R An error of a decimal place is all I am to you I never took self pity into account When you ran me through take into account all variables When calculating R Dependent and independent When calculating R I guess that’s your final answer And we called it quits And you squared off the fractions You broke into bits take into account all variables When calculating R Dependent and independent When calculating R words: R. Spence music: A. Goz

Try Kate 02:26
The coolest girl that you ever knew never ever gave her heart to you take your time you know you have to wait looking like at ten but more like an eight that's kate try kate there's no hate try or die now kate This is many years ago Things have incredibly changed y'know? Trampling over personal borders Would only get you a restraining orders that's kate try kate there's no hate try or die now kate It’s late Touch of fate Never so great Never say Kate that's kate try kate there's no hate try or die now kate If you ask me Hollywood has a lot to answer for! words: A Goz & R. Spence music: A. Goz

Melchizedek 03:24
When I saw the original title For this song I was a little concerned Something felt wrong I had to ask were we summoning something unknown Like in the Necronomicon Or something equally overblown It seemed so stupid When said out loud I felt embarrassed And far from proud But after recording With the original words I felt uneasy I felt cursed I felt an unholy presence Following me That we brought into being That we set free I had to save Myself from this world So we broke the spell So we changed the words words: R. Spence music: A. Goz

this is the place I know so well up in the attic trapped by a containment spell up in the attic been alone for many years stuck alone with all my fears no more time and no more tears up in the attic maybe you can't understand up in the attic spiders the size of my hand up in the attic we have come together to agree I don't hurt them and they don't hurt me and i just bring them what they eat up in the attic words: R. Spence music: A. Goz

Kate tries and fails And fails again And tries once more Despite the pain Once more she tries And tries and tries And tries again Through cloudy skies come try with Kate It won’t hurt if you fail It’s like it isn’t you It’s like it isn’t real come try with Kate It won’t hurt if you fail It’s like it isn’t you It’s like it isn’t real Kate tries and fails And fails again And tries once more Despite the pain Once more she tries And tries and tries And tries again Through cloudy eyes come try with Kate It won’t hurt if you fail It’s like it isn’t you It’s like it isn’t real come try with Kate It won’t hurt if you fail It’s like it isn’t you It’s like it isn’t real words: R. Spence music: A. Goz

The trains don’t come around here any more You wander the streets and wonder What’s it all for Everything’s grinding into the ground And all that’s left is a certain sound This has a Bradford sound Like an old mill burning down This has a Bradford sound With wasted potential all around You can’t put your finger on it But it’s the only way everything fits It’s distinctive in its own way And it doesn’t matter what you say This has a Bradford sound Like an old mill burning down This has a Bradford sound With wasted potential all around This has a Bradford sound Like an old mill burning down This has a Bradford sound With wasted potential all around All around words: R. Spence music: A. Goz

What Myth? 08:24

about

York's finest are back with a new album recorded during the hottest summer on record, June 2022 at ST Studios.

Short bursts of hot heavy fierce guitars supplanted by the vocals of a gruffer yorkshire Mark E Smith.

There's a Salem Trials world but is it a myth that they are living?


REVIEW

Crawling along dark streets, shadows loom in every doorway, footsteps echo in the night silence. Cold sweat trickling down spine, dark rumblings from a dirty basement, shadows dancing on the barred windows. Fish bones in a mouth. Coughing up blood and the smell of urine. Decay and aftershave. Cracked voice and beer-stained floor.

Each step shoes stick. Black trail like slime from a snail.

A coffin landfill club of noise and danger!

The night ignites with saw-like melodies and cavernous hypnotic rhythms kicking against the pricks! Smoke and dark truths bounce off the walls shaking flesh and brick, glass and bone. Inspiration as sonic affray, until the last notes flare into a howl of darkness.

A murder of youth collapse through doors and out along streets. City centre lights, a loneliness of drinkers cast adrift, flowing like a cut artery in a thrombosis of social isolation.

Music smashed against walls! Exciting! Unbreakable!
