About Me

Founded in 2007, Bayonet Records distributes and records artists who stand out for their individuality and force of character. We believe that music should be fierce, gentle and holy - but bad enough to drive a saint to drink. We've also started booking gigs, so express your interest and lets see how this baby rolls!

"It [Blue Day Requiem] matches, if not betters, many high rotation "star" performers currently being heard on the radio daily both here and overseas." - Jorian Gardner, Canberra Review

Influences: So, we love film clips... even for singles we haven't yet released! Coming at you direct from the wonderful Tajette O'Halloran and edited by Tim Krakowiak, we all present BROKEN HEART HUSTLE!
The brand new film clip for Tom Woodward's new single, Desire! Directed by Tajette O'Halloran!
The film clip for Tom Woodward's single, 'Drinking The Dregs' is presented to you by Bayonet Records. The footage was taken from the very popular Jester Ball in May 2007. Enjoy, my lovelies!
Sounds Like: "Blue Day Requiem is heart-on-sleeve music for the spiritually battered, and whereas it might not be the most uplifting record, it's sometimes enough to know that when you're down at heel, there'll be someone there to keep you company."
- RICHARD STOKOE, LOSINGTODAY.COM

"Tom Woodward slides into his set without introduction – appropriate really, given his music speaks for itself. His vocals a cross between Glenn Richards, Dylan and Gareth Liddiard, Tom's alt. country social commentary and observations of love put me in mind of a less saccharine Josh Pyke, and in all he's brilliant, particularly on A Little Tear For You."
- RAVE MAGAZINE

"Like a breath of fresh air being blown through a whiskey soaked cigar, [Tom Woodward's] words are a wake up call, not coated in fancy trimmings or novelty, but instead doused in realism and truth - then set alight."
- SCENE MAGAZINE

"Lyrics are the fundamental key to the folky / bluesy / storytelling genre in which Woodward operates, and in this regard, he is streets ahead of many of his contemporaries. Expect great things!"
- BEAT MAGAZINE

"This recording shows Woodward's maturity and development as a songwriter, showcasing his talents in a diverse and inspiring collection of work. It matches, if not betters, many high rotation "star" performers currently being heard on the radio daily both here and overseas."
- CANBERRA REVIEW

"Reminding Me Of You is the "Sweet Home Alabama" of 2007."
- HELEN THURA
