As you should be. I love it when great bands come out of nowhere like this – really puts the excitement into music for me.

I like the artwork; I reckon it suits the mood of the songs, particularly of ‘Damaged Goods’.

I have no arguments that it couldn’t be better, but I would say if these two tracks are this good (and you are not put off by the artwork) then I reckon we are in for a little treat with the rest of the album.

I’m Excited!!!!

I had an interrupted listen to these yesterday, and a couple of runs through paying more attention last night.

My opinion, Michael, is that you’re not missing much.

ah you see dav is a maestro at art work.

im sadly unable to listen to these tracks right now as i dont have speakers connected to the pc but from what i remember of corduroy pants on the toadcast it was definately a stand out track for me.

Well it’s one of those things that everyone (myself included) thinks they can do, but is in fact far harder than it looks. And artwork on albums is important. Best find a willing art school friend or amateur illustrator I reckon. Most people arty enough to make music know someone arty enough to make an album cover.

Oh aye, fair enough. It wasn’t even worth commenting on, I’m just a tad pernicity about artwork.

Nah, I’m not too keen on the artwork as a whole, actually. But when it’s a DIY self-release, I think you sometimes take what you can get.

I’m not sure about this at all, it’s certainly made me curious. Right now I’m not overly taken by the two songs on here but I do keep listening to them. I think they might be growers, either way, I’ve not given up on it.

PS. I don’t like the artwork font
