Calm Before The Norm - Digital Album

This is your music. If you're here and you've done your research, heard the sounds, the words, felt the feeling - then this is yours. These twelve songs have brought you here.

This album has been three years in the making. There is introspection, grief, memory, anger, a little despair, but always hope.

Here are some critic's words - not my own - on this work:

The Jaded Zone

"If Cobain was still with us today, he’d be penning grungy post-rock hits that run in the same visceral vein as The Jaded Zone, which uses angular guitars, a backbeat that mimics a frantic heartbeat and evocative classical strings to bring emotion back to the surface."

Lesser Men

"Just as it has done for millennia, music has united us and scribed our stories; Lesser Men is a continuation of that tradition, which affirms as dark as the days seem, curtains haven’t quite closed on humanity yet, regardless of the corruption, greed, devastation, and oppression; as long as society’s swan song plays, there’s no reason to give up your dog in the fight and down tools when we can better the world in the same way The Every Glazer did with Lesser Men."

Motive

"It feels as though all the fucked-up facets of our modern living are squeezed into the three minutes of this epic protest track, which just goes to show you don’t need to produce in the same vein as Rage Against the Machine to take a stand and prove resistance isn’t futile."
