about

‘Land of Sadness’ aka Silence (which should speak volumes) is the product of innocent young minds with too much free time, access to cheap recording (Lion @ £5 an hour), lyrics lifted from the subconscious of one who had spent too much time reading WWI poets and bashing their head against a Catholic pulpit led upbringing, a miked up cellar full of trash begging to be smashed plus an open door policy that meant any waif and stray on the local scene could join in the fray. In addition, readily on tap, the soon to be trademark cacophonous noise mongering and banshee like feedback as supplied by yours truly.
The twist in this tale is that this moment of shambly C86 esque poptartness was given the thumbs up by the man at EMI who told us to go away and make an albums worth of such silliness. I, Sean and Liz tried. We even brought in a bass player who in a normal frame of consciousness was odd, too odd. We wrote several songs and even rehearsed. It was the closest I ever got to being part of a band, one that could record, and gig and the thought still horrifies me. The music, albeit of an equitable standard, was not the kind I could live with and carry on breathing…an exhaust pipe and its welcome fumes would always be on my mind. So, the call to EMI was never returned. The bass player waited by the phone for the call that never came and one day would pose away with the Dustdevils. He was and always will be a strange lad. Sean went back to his studies, and I invested my time in Rouska Records, making other people’s valiant efforts count for something…so it says here lol.
I only had myself to blame being led by other people’s view of the world.

The lyrics are best left where they started in a dusty, damp stained sixth form issue exercise book.
