One day I'll figure out how to write a decent bio...

I've decided I'm going to try and watch 100 new movies this year. No actual pressure to do it, just want to try and watch new movies over old ones when I have a chance!
Just to be clear, I mean new to me, not released this year.

Published a bunch of songs from the wrestling band and then officially left. It’s weird that this is the first time I’ve ever left a band that is going to keep going. That’s new. I’m quite proud of the first 6 tracks. Have a listen if you want.

It’s not very often my overly critical brain will let me think, I’ve worked on this and it’s fucking awesome. Managed it today!

I need a hot key that automatically types:
Thanks,

It’s not the act of typing that is the problem, it’s typing my own name reliably!

Speed running a cover is taking up a lot of my brain space. It’s kinda tiring. Need to keep on it though

2026 really hates us. I’ve got things I should be doing but the news about Chad Gilbert has just knocked the wind out of me. Fuck cancer in every single way possible.

Thank you to all at The Bunkhouse, Swansea. You were amazing on a rainy Sunday night. It was an honour to share a stage with Elm Tree Circle, Handle This, and SadCastles. Next up for us is the small matter of recording our debut EP. Let’s do it! 💪

It’s dawned on me that getting my left elbow tattooed on the weekend was the last of the major/useable space gaps on my arms. It’s been 5 years of trying, but I’m actually feeling close to my arms being finished.
What a feeling!

We thought both debut songs deserved a video, so here’s “Catch Me When I Fall” created in-house by our guitarist Michael Partridge. This bookends the double A-side single era as we prepare to record our debut EP.
Please share! 🤘

Things that absolutely weren't on my 2026 bingo card was discovering Paris Jackson's (Michael daughter) music. It sounding like Phoebe Bridger with bits of the Cure thrown in and it being one of my records of the year.

New lightroom update. Unsurprisingly, things that used to happen instantly, now require thinking time.

How does Refused's The Shape of punk to Come still sound like it was made in the future? The album is literally 28 years old!

A friend asked me to try and fix something on his website. I can say without a shadow of a doubt, this is why people hate wordpress. They have a nightmare of a backend with 1000s of options and no clarity to make some changes. This shit offends me and everything I've done as a developer.

Billy West took a photo of my tattoo and now it's in his Twitter. This is super cool.
