If You Want To Live Like This, by Last Days of Rome

'If You Want To Live Like This' is out now!
The lead single from my upcoming 5th album is a sideways step, blending my usual indie rock sound with synth-pop and post-punk influences like New Order, LCD Soundsystem, and early Bloc Party.

It's Bandcamp Friday today. Some SHOPFIRES stuff still available plus NEUCLOUDS compilation CD if you prefer your jangle pop around 2 minutes long 😀
Apparently it's Bandcamp Friday this week. I have nothing new to offer yet (something very special is coming very soon). Until then you can still get hold of the limited edition CDs of the last 2 SHOPFIRES albums. Plus lots of digital back catalogue stuff if you like.

Only one week to go until the release of my new single!
This one is a bit of a departure from my usual indie rock sound, leaning more into synth pop and post punk (New Order, LCD Soundsystem, early Bloc Party).
Out 4/9/26 on Bandcamp and streaming. Listen to a sneak preview here.

Alternative rock with “pop sensibilities at heart.” That’s what I hear in "Inland Empire" by @redcavalry.bsky.social - a mix of early R.E.M., The Jam & The Housemartins. Read my latest at Dave’s Music Journal and discover Red Cavalry daveschneier.wixsite.com/davesmusicjo...

New music for Bandcamp Friday!
My new EP features covers of 4 amazing songs, recreated with an indie rock twist. For opening track Both Sides Now, I teamed up with the awesome Jon Hopper who brought some beautiful piano and strings to the mix.
Really proud of this collection. Link below 👇

Out now! My latest single is a cover of Novelley's 'Maybe So': indie folk reimagined as 90's alternative rock (Mazzy Star, Radiohead).
Please be sure to also check out / revisit the amazing original version of the song si that you can get a 2-for-1 on supporting independent music.
