Recording progress so far...

So, as you may have already read, we've been recording some tracks in our practice cellar using much borrowed equipment. Progress, im glad to report, is being made. Here is the track list for songs we have begun to record, and in the fullness of time, will become new tracks for you to hear :)

"We Are The Underdog"
"Chest Complaints"
"Undercover"
"Barbed Wire Sandwich" - this is very much a working title and in no way reflects what we will call it :P

The first track, "We Are The Underdog" is one of our newest songs, we have played it live only 2 or 3 times so far, and is the farthest along the recording line. It is being mixed up this week and something of a preview should be available quite soon. The other tracks are still very much in the basics of recording, but we are finding the time outside of rehersal time (we have lots of gigs at the moment heh - not a bad thing). April has some more room between gigs for us to get a lot of work done on them.

The 8 track is a strange and wonderful peice of kit. It pretends really hard to be a tape recorder, having to do crazy things like rewind the hard drive and such, its quite bonkers really but flexible enough for our purposes. Of course it was invented for what, at the time, was a tape recorder based recording world and we can forgive it that. Having it at all is a bonus, at last we are able to record what we want to record, rather than getting what happened recorded. A subtle, but important, difference.

I shall endevour to keep you posted on track progress, and next week or so should see the first practical manifestation of some music :)

See you on the road...
