SOME SONGS E.P. out NOW on iTunes and Napster!!!

About Me

Welcome to Squaredog's MySpace. The four songs on this page represent a cross-section of the kind of acoustic songs I've been writing as a solo artist for the last 10 years or so. I'm heavily influenced by all the great acoustic music that came from the UK the US from the 60s and 70's up to the present day......................................................... ..............................................These songs were originally played and recorded by me and Greg Elmore in the cellar of a terraced house last March. The twelve string was added and mixed by Chitlun (listed in my Top Friends as Skip Monkey) at Parrafin Studios this summer. The songs have developed well enough so I've released an E.P. containing finished versions of them........................................................ .............................................You can now buy my E.P. "Some Songs" from iTunes for just £3.16! Alternatively you can purchase either of the four tracks seperately for only 79p. It's available through iTunes here........................................................ ............................................. NextTime.................................................... ......................... .. Tailspin.................................................... ................. WatercolourRain............................................. ...................... Photograph.................................................. ...........................It's also available at Napster, Emusic, MusicNet, OD2 and MusicChoice. G'wan, you KNOW you want to!......................................................... ...............................................You can also download the track "Next Time" for FREE by clicking the link below and adding yourself to my fanlist ............................................................ ...........Chitlun and I also run and promote a popular acoustic showcase in Bradford called "Beatitudes". Just click on the link below in my "Top Friends" for more info.

Band Members: Paul Tunnicliffe; all vocals and strummed guitar, Greg Elmore; picked guitar. Chitlun on backing vocals and twelve-string guitar REVIEWS FOR SOME SONGS E.P...."Squaredog are a three piece from Bradford that have a back to basics approach to music. First write yourself a selection of good songs. Set up a recording studio in your cellar, work the music about a bit and lo and behold you've got "Some Songs". Yes it can be that simple. "Some Songs" works very well. It's not formulaic, each song has it's own distinct personality and whilst there are touches that you think you might have heard before, you can't quite place it and anyway you enjoyed it at the time. Squaredog have produced a good honest ep that simply says listen."....(FATEA/Cambridge And beyond...www.fatea-records.co.uk)
