You can see and hear my band at these sites. Nothing spectacular yet, just a few live sets with mistakes in them, but it might be of interest to someone. My guitar in these recordings is an Epiphone '58 Korina Explorer with TonePros bridge and tailpiece set, CTS 550K volume pots, Switchcraft jack and selector switch, Bare Knuckle Nailbomb pickup set, and D'Addario EXL117 11-56 string set. Amp is Peavey 6534+ through an Orange PPC412 (Celestion V30) cab

That thing on bandcamp is not mixed down properly, hence why it is a free download. We need to mix it properly so that it is in stereo. It's just there for people who missed the broadcast.

Here's the radio performance video on Facebook
 
We go in to record a demo on Sunday 25th of June. I am supposed to get my amp back tomorrow so that will give us two band practices (this Sunday and next Thursday) to get the sound dialed in again. The songs will be the same as on the radio broadcast. Once we have the demo done we will release it on Bandcamp on August 5th (the day of our launch party show and my 50th birthday) and I will most likely take the radio show down from Bandcamp at that point. It's just there to give us some content on Bandcamp so that we could set up the page and get people interested before the demo launches.
 
You guys sound good, I could listen to the playing all day but I am just not big into that type of vocals.
 
We are recording the same songs for a demo at the moment (finishing it tomorrow) and it is sounding ten times better than this mono recording on our bandcamp ... Will post a link here when we release it at the beginning of August

Thanks for your positive comments
 
I should add here that the demo features both my Explorer and my SG Special Worn Yellow. I will provide a breakdown of what was used where (guitars and whether it was the neck or bridge pickup, if I used any special effects, etc) when the demo launches. The SG has a TonePros bridge and tailpiece set, CTS 500K volume and tone pots, WD Music paper-in-oil 0.022uf capacitors, Bare Knuckle Warpig (alnico) pickup set, Grover tuners, and D'Addario EXL117 11-56 string set.

We also used a couple of different basses. One was a pretty stock Squier Jaguar Troy Sanders signature bass with 125 roundwound strings and a GraphTech nut. That was used on 99% of the recording as it sits nicely in the mix. We also used my Squier Jazz bass with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups, GraphTech nut, Steve Harris signature flatwound Rotosound strings, all Hipshot hardware (bridge and tuners) and an Audere Pro JZ3 active preamp. The Jazz was only used to record a bass break in the second bridge of the first song where the bass is all by itself and we thought something more aggressive was needed

They are all tuned to C Standard
 
Our first demo was recorded at AGS Music over the last week, expect to see it on Bandcamp in early August.

We also have a new band logo design by Casper, son of my tattooist Shep.

Inspired by the science fiction film Arrival.
