I am here for Friends

About Me

I play in the following bands: Night & The City , The Keep & Harbour .
I also run a record label with my friends: Détournement .
The grind has got you like a noose, you can't escape it now. Always thought it couldn't happen to you, but it did, & the you don't know how. The grind creeps in as slow as the days that pass now like years. It's got you firm in its iron grip, you feel safe now, no more fears. It doesn't stop, it just wears down. Your back is breaking from the standing up to all the strain. Convince yourself it's worth the money, try to ignore the pain. Wake up numb to the repitition, stand up, sit down again. Your once noble thoughts & ideals are useless as stripped gears. It doesn't stop, it just wears down. Just another sinking feeling, slowly sinking in...
