I'm proud to finally present a new song called "Rip It Up". I say new, but it's actually a recent recording of an older tune you may not know. If you've been to one of our live gigs you might have heard this. It's hard to know how to describe the song itself really. Gary came up with the guitar riff years ago but never did much with it. We jammed it out in rehearsal one night and I wrote the lyrics a few days later. The words could be about lots of things but specifically they refer to my disillusionment with politicians and their promises. The manifestos mean nothing.
...we shouldn't have left you, without a strong rhyme to step to :)
That's right we're not dead and we haven't split up. I'm happy to report that 20lb Sounds are very much alive and well. We have been a bit quiet in recent months while we wrote new songs and concentrated on recording. We released a tune here called Rip It Up not so long ago. Have a listen to that if you haven't already.
I just noticed the last update here was months ago. I apologize for that and I promise to sort this out. I'm thinking of redesigning the site and simplifying it but at the same time making it more useful. If that's possible. I realized recently after a good chat with my friend Anna B that it doesn't make much sense to build your own social network just for a band.
Just a quick note to say check out the lovely review Sebastian Gahan from Nerve wrote about our acoustic gig in FACT. I'm really glad he enjoyed it and had nice things to say. We appreciate it!
