Free music downloads!

On this page you can knock yourself out and download most of the CD's that I've put out. It's roughly in chronological order, and all the songs are high quality MP3's, which should sound ok burnt to a CD. If you want a proper CD, complete with album art and stuff, then get in touch and I'll burn you one from the original master files.

The main aim of this page is to get the music out there, so if you like it, please pass a link on to friends. If you have a blog, feel free to share it there. Or, if you can make a torrent out of it, please do that too. I'm pretty sure all the music is tagged correctly and has not jumps or clicks :)

Daddy fought the law EP

In between the two full length CDs, I printed up some of these EP's for gigs that I needed petrol money for. It's a different version, lyrically and musically to that which appeared on Connections, and all the other songs have slightly different mixes. Does Your Mother Know? is not an Abba cover song, mores the pity.

The tracklisting is:

  • 1. Daddy fought the law (alternate)
  • 2. Does your mother know
  • 3. Paradise (This City)
  • 4. Live off the dead

Once We Were Punks

The first full length CD I released, looking (and listening) back to it, the quality is pretty shitty. Although, it does have quite a few songs on it that I still play today, and that people call out for at shows. Some of the tracks feature a backing band, that was recorded in Newcastle after a long night of drinking for my brother's, who played bass,21st birthday.

The tracklisting is:

  • 1. On Our Own
  • 2. Walk You Home
  • 3. Malaga Airport
  • 4. I wish I was a tribute act
  • 5. Mercedes in the city
  • 6. Once we were punks
  • 7. Thicker than blood
  • 8. Chernobyl Park
