The Flashcrackers - Fictional Band, Solid Premise

separator

Dream Tonight

2007

The first Flashcrackers track. Written from the bassline. The rest is bits hanging on it.



Blues Skies Not Black Chemicals

2007

Written while my wife was pregnant with our twin girls. Hastily finished on very little sleep at the end of my time off work after the girls were born.





The Flashcrackers is a fictional band consisting of guitar, piano, bass, drums and vocal. I had been writing a lot of "whatever I wanted" and the fictional band premise dictated a consistent set of instruments to write for - something I hadn't had since Curbside Journal.


The band is still together and looking to finish up a few new tracks in the near future.
