Drench

We’re loading up the big gear again this weekend. Album progress coming up with @josephmarshallaudio. Must not get distracted by the Wurlitzer at this studio…

Out now on all your favourite streaming platforms (no not you, Spotify).

No Coming Back is our calling card, the first song where we figured out whatever it is that we do. Dragging a blues song through the palette of the Kerrang generation.

‘Salt’ - at @daltonsbrighton last Sunday for @hijinxpromotions. Studio version is out there on streaming platforms now.

PS note to self, actually check the framing on the cameras next time…

Very excited to be polishing off the Black Star Records curation of the Vocalzone stage on the Sunday of Teddy Rocks.

We’ll be packing our very wildest riffs – not least as it’s a full set of RATM songs after we’re done, so we’ll need to set the tone.

How to while away a Sunday afternoon.

Massive thanks to Hijinx Promotions for putting on a stellar show this weekend. Matinees are a wonderful thing – the full gig experience and still time to get involved with the Beelzebab Burns Night action.

Out now on all your favourite streaming platforms (no not you, Spotify).

Salt was written just before our recording session back in September, but it came together so naturally that we had to get it down right away.

A big pile of grungy, heavy, mildly psychedelic riffs is headed to @thepipelinebrighton on January 9th. Join us.

Advance tickets are available at the link below, card payment taken on the door too. Doors at 19.30

A few months back we loaded up all our gear, threw @josephmarshallaudio into the boot and headed for the Welsh wilderness to start making a record.

There’s still a bit of work to go on that BUT there will be something to listen to soon. We think it sounds pretty cool.

Prep for 2026 gigs has begun.
That guitar was misbehaving a little all rehearsal, I’m sure you can’t tell by the way it’s being played 🙄

Also before anyone says anything, no – there’s no such thing as too much chorus.

You’ll find us on the @vocalzonehq stage at Teddy Rocks 2026 – come along and get loud with us.

Massive thanks to Black Star Records for plucking us out of the void & including us in what will no doubt be a truly epic weekend. 🖤

One more demo.

This is the last of the tracks we’ve pulled together ahead of the long haul project on the way: The Mystery Of Love.
Written by PJ Harvey for Marianne Faithful, the original is forthright, delicate, painful and beautiful. So naturally we thought it deserved a trip to Doom Town.

Lighting up the high street on the weekend - massive thanks to HMV Worthing for hosting a little anarcho-blues noise.

Forever keeping the boys waiting while I fiddle with cameras and trip over cables.

Warming up for a chilled out set at @hmvworthing on Saturday afternoon. See you there, 4 o’clock sharp!

Another demo up on the Bandcamp 🎺

Head over for a smattering of riffs and a fuzz pedal right on the limit. There’s more where that came from.

This Saturday night we return to The Charles Dickens in West Worthing for the @totpresents podcast fundraiser alongside @writteninred_band @table_football_band.

Join us, and support every tangle of our grassroots music scene.

Dusting off the desert soundscapes ahead of Saturday 🏜️

What a weekend! Massive thanks to @blackstarrecordsuk.bsky.social for having us to join in their #recordstoreday festivities. We left a few KGs lighter in sweat lost, but laden down by the stack of records gained. Top evening.

You’ll never guess who’s playing

Our bill-buddies for the upcoming Worthing gig, Dudesmell, put out a new track and threw down the riff gauntlet. Gave it our doomiest for a song of that BPM 💀

We’re getting this show on the road and on the stage in just a couple of weeks. Sounding sizzly - can’t wait.

First show in the diary 🤝
Nice n local for us, and a great looking bill of melodic-but-heavy bands.

BTS 🤝 WIP
Building leviathan choruses to test the structural integrity of our favourite rehearsal studio. The walls fared better than Jack’s amp valves.

#desertrock #sludge #blues #fenderoffset

Shoutout to Tom who is hidden by Jack’s poorly setup camera angles

Some delicate, brooding love songs deserve an evil riff-bound twin.

Three people, who are old enough to know better, started a band (again).

Stay tuned for dour, blues-inflected, psychedelic alt rock.
