In a moment of absolutely shameless self promotion, i might as well mention, my humble beat combo... The Lone Sharksnow have a swanky looking Bandcamp page... which is the best way to D.I.Y. promote your band these days. Ours was designed by lead guitarist Malcy... and looks very nice too. Since the days of the old Talkpunk page we have managed to release a new 4 track e.p. called " Firing On All Four" on CD, lathe cut vinyl and download. Lathe cut vinyl was mega limited and has sold out. CD has been repressed and is still available. Our album " Supply & Demand" has now sold out on CD, but can be bought on download, along with the e.p. on the Bandcamp page Link is here... thelonesharks.bandcamp.com/ |

Latest EP is a good bunch of songs; On first listen Andy's remind me of Mick Jones, and the other guy's of Howard Devoto. Crisp production and tight playing.

Thanks for checking out the Bandcamp page and buying some downloads Zeo. I wrote and sing on " The Open Road" & and " (Burning down)The House Of Cards" Lead guitarist Malcy wrote and sings on " The Truth Tells Lies" ...great lyrics on that song i think and Marc our Bass player wrote and sings on " Panic Attacks" Someone has mentioned before that Malcy sounds abit like Howard Devoto and in a recent review of the e.p. they mentioned i sound a bit like Mick Jones on " The Open Road" |

...Cheers Chaps, for checking out the 'choons' and buying some downloads.
"The Open Road" is a song i co-wrote with my old friend Tim PURR. I had the music all demoed and arranged, but the lyrics i had didn't really have enough bite.
Too wimpy perhaps, so Tim came up with some lyrics about bitterness and contempt... and i thought YEP, that's better.
Before the Pandemic the Lone Sharks completed another song i co-write, this time with old Talkpunk Veteren Blitzkrieg Bob

...about 5 years ago, B.B. sent me a poem he had written about 'teenage vinyl junkie-dom' called "Round & Round" which i hung onto.
Sometime later i had a very vivid dream that included a song, so i made a very quick demo of what i could remember of it, before it was erased from my memory.
Months later i set to work recording the music more fully... but i had no lyrics... but with a bit of editing and tweaking, B.B.'s poem was a perfect fit.
A full band version of it is now in the can... sent it to B.B. ...he loves it. PHEW!

...i was amazed, when B.B.'s words fitted the music i had written... it was like a prophecy! Hung out with him and his buddies back in the summer of 2018 at the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool - Ger01 was there too |
