That @defydesigns.bsky.social has only fired over some killer mixes.

Conspiring with the boys about band stuff in January.

#LithiumKicks

Everything is down and it’s onto mixing this beast. Bayley is at the controls. We’ll be honest, we couldn’t have done this thing without her.

#LithiumKicks

Three grown men who are old enough to know better… with Rhi and Bayley.

#LithiumKicks

Meanwhile, in downtown Canton…

#LithiumKicks

Just remembered I wrote some lyrics in a Bristol hotel room the other night. Needs work, but it’s called “Sober in the City.”

#LithiumKicks

What’s that, Bayley? Left drum overhead up by 2 dB? You got it!

#LithiumKicks

Someone asked me what the new band sounded like. This question always stumps me, but after last night’s vocal session, off the top of my head I said “like Stiv Bators fronting Alkaline Trio.”

Only time will tell how close I am!!

#LithiumKicks

My cat remains internet famous

My throat, back and knees hurt. So this is what 47 feels like.

LEAD VOCALS DONE!

Ginge did his thing in Cardiff last night and Lithium Kicks’ official band mascot, Bayley, approved.

All together now… “WHOOOOOOA!!!”

#LithiumKicks

My cat is becoming my bands official mascot... Slowly

HERE’S JONNY (with Bayley the cat). The former Spilt Dogs bass behemoth joins the ranks and has been recording some four-string action all day on location in Cardiff. Make him feel welcome.

#LithiumKicks

Happy birthday to our Carling sipping, Crystal Palace following, guitar slinging good ol’ boy, Mr. Darren Stratton.

#LithiumKicks

The snare on these recordings sounds very Bun E. Carlos from Cheap Trick. Needless to say, I’m very moist.

#LithiumKicks

Bayley overseeing Darren laying down his guitar parts last night.

#LithiumKicks

Darren’s up tonight! Here he is laying down some geetar on location in Cardiff for “I Want Something I Don’t Care About.” Ooooof! It’s coming together, lads. 💥

#LithiumKicks

OG Dave has been celebrating the 500 Facebook follower news in style.

#LithiumKicks

I can’t wait to get gigging again. I have no idea what version of Ginge Knievil is gonna show up, but it’s gonna be exciting finding out. See you on a stage in spring ‘26!

#LithiumKicks

Lithium Kicks hope everyone is having a poptastic weekend.

#LithiumKicks

I’m quite enjoying playing rock stars again, y’know. Tidy weekend with tidy people. All hail Lithium Kicks! 💙

Just a quick thank you to Sam and the team at Le Pub for hosting us yesterday. You rock! 🤘

#LithiumKicks

DAVE WAS ON FIRE TODAY!!! 🔥

#LithiumKicks

ROLLING!

#LithiumKicks

Le Pub, Newport.

Le Pub in Newport is our home for the day. Here, we’ll lay the foundations for our debut single. It’s called “I Want Something I Don’t Care About.” It’s gonna be mega. 💥

#LithiumKicks

Michael’s organised chaos for tomorrow. But where is he going and what is he doing? 🤔

#LithiumKicks

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! 😂

#LithiumKicks

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.
