Lithium Kicks

Demos are ongoing. This time, Ginge is tackling a Michael Partridge composition. Think Hold Steady, think Jimmy Eat World, think Leatherface. Ginge is obviously turning it into Cheap Trick. Will there be a “whoa?” You bet your arse there will be! More news dropping on 18th October. 👀

#LithiumKicks

It’s Ginge’s birthday. He had a new mic and stand so he’s been practicing playing rock stars in front of the bedroom mirror.

#LithiumKicks

Last session at Green Rooms in Treforest last night. We’re now progressing onto something really exciting. We’ll keep you all posted ASAP. In the meantime, here’s a photo of Ginge taking a photo of Michael taking a photo of Dave. We’re nailing this social media thing! 😂

Today, I completed the vocal demos on the newest song. It’s a bit darker than normal, but I guess it reflects my mood. Still catchy, though. Particularly chuffed at some harmony attempts. It weighs in at a massive 4 minutes and 10 seconds. Prog-tastic, mate! Not ‘arf.

#LithiumKicks

Productive day as I laid down some guitars for a new song. The lead lick sits nicely over the rhythm parts. Michael, our lead guitarist by default, says it sounds like Guns N’ Roses. I told him not to worry about learning it, as I won’t be able to play the stupid thing again anyway!

Le Pub, Newport, Wales.

What’s this all about, then? 👀

Things are getting serious. Michael is building a new pedal board because he was told he is the lead guitarist in the band. Is this big enough?

Ginge’s regular blurry-eyed Tuesday night view at Green Rooms in the Rhondda. We’re adding a song a week and trust us when we say it’s starting to sound massive. BOOM! 💥

#LithiumKicks

Here’s Darren. He’s feigning interest in one of Michael’s wrestling stories and secretly wishes he was up the club with a nice, crisp, refreshing pint of Carling Black Label. 🍺 🤣

#LithiumKicks

Went all Paul Heaton last night with a music stand for my lyrics. I don’t even know who I am anymore.

#LithiumKicks

Another practice in the bag and another night of infectious catchy punk rock ‘n’ roll. We’re unsure if Michael knew he was gonna play lead guitar when he joined the band, but it’s too late to go back now!! 😂

#LithiumKicks

Last week’s noise was magic. Same again next week? You bet! Let’s be having it!! 💥

Have a great Bank Holiday, folks. Don’t do anything we wouldn’t do. 😉

#LithiumKicks

Meet OG Dave. He’s the tub thumper extraordinaire in the band. Trust us when we say the man has got mean drum skills. Make him feel welcome.

#LithiumKicks

It’s happening. 👀

#LithiumKicks

This lad can play. When the band came to me in a dream, I never fully anticipated it getting to this stage. Each member has had free rein on my shitty 4 chord songs and they have all turned them into 3 minute power pop punk masterpieces. Exciting times ahead.

#LithiumKicks

Eddie has been rehearsing the bass runs for our potential debut single. He’s on fire, and it’s not just the heat! Is it 2026 yet? 🔥

#LithiumKicks

Thank you.

Productive evening for the guitarists in sunny Cardiff. Things are starting to sound MASSIVE!! 💥

#LithiumKicks

The best band in Wales whilst we wait for @lithiumkicks.bsky.social ?

Ginge is working on “It’s Not My Time to Die.” It’s about finding the strength to start creating music again. It’s built around Darren’s riff and it utilises the Nicky Wire-esque refrain of “creation, destruction, death and rebirth.” We can’t wait for you to hear these tunes in 2026.

Darren has been doing Monday things in the name of rock ‘n’ roll.

#LithiumKicks

Ginge has been smashing the vocal demos for “Catch Me When I Fall” today. BOOM! 💥

#LithiumKicks

New song being demoed tomorrow. It’s called “Catch Me When I Fall” and it was penned by Darren and Ginge. Another big singalong chorus on this one. Exciting times ahead.

#LithiumKicks 2026. 💥

Drummer applications are now closed and we believe we have our man. All will be revealed very shortly. Thank you to everyone who shared; the level of interest was insane.

The cogs are slowly turning and Ginge has been back at it writing new chorus melodies in Aldi car park.

BOOM! 💥

#LithiumKicks

Social media has gone nuts in the last 24 hours with band stuff. My phone has been lighting up like Blackpool! I want to say thanks for the likes, shares, comments or whatever. People’s positivity has blown me away. I promise we’ll do our best to deliver a bunch of catchy punk songs.

#LithiumKicks

Meet Darren. He will be bringing the Les Paul guitar slinging beef to the band. Make him feel welcome. x
