For a long time music was the only way I expressed myself. I first learnt to play the guitar many moons ago but because I could play almost everything in the charts with four chords (nothing has changed) I didn't take it seriously. Then after splitting with my partner and moving to Lincoln Green I found I had a lot of anger I needed to get rid of, but although the lyrics were there the music wasn't so I knuckled down and learnt to play twelve chords.

I now have two albums I've recorded at home, first on a cheap little Tascam four track, then on a computer (which I'm still trying to get the hang of). Here are clips of just a few of them, click on the links on the left hand side of the page to hear them. Be warned I don't do happy!

Alone is one of my latest songs that's quite pop orientated.

Tower Block Blues is one of the first and the lyrics have been used in the bestselling book Urban Grimshaw and the Shed Cew by Bernie Hare.

I wrote Leeds Your Mine after a mate said that he couldn't think of a song about Leeds. So I had a go.

I was playing about with an old FX pedal one day and found a vocal wah setting. East Is East was born.

Torching Cars is another song that has had its lyrics used in Urban Grimshaw.

Crosses In My Mind is the first song I ever fully finished and it still means as much today as it did eight years ago.

Hope you enjoy!

Dave Liversidge
