News From The Week That Was
It has been a writing week here in The Cube. As has been noted on the Dandelions release page, as we were writing that album, we also had a number of songs that were softer, piano based tunes that didn’t really fit. Those are now being worked on to create a completely separate release, tentatively titled “Songs About Crying”. If you preferred the acoustic version of Old Gil to the original or think we are “ . . . just too darn loud”, this will be the album for you. This week saw vocals being added to “Ugliness in You” as pictured at the side.
We’ll be talking more and more about this album as it comes together. At the moment, we have 14 songs in various stages of completion. If we follow the Dandelions pattern, we will likely land somewhere between 16-18 total and pick the best to go on the record. Rumours that there may be a tribute to “Heart Attack Santa” as mentioned in last week’s 3 things.

What? American Teenage Rock ‘n Roll Machine
If you like, you’ll like: The Ramones, the Runways and those who wanna feel waaaay cooler than they could ever be in real life.
Why? From Chris Boyne:
“If the title doesn’t sell it, I cannot help you. You are beyond all reasonable help. I don’t have time for your shit.”
Trust me it delivers on what it promises and more.”
With a blurb like that, doesn’t it make more sense that we wrote a song called Smug?
