Having to quite literally slam on the
brakes in the middle of promoting
their debut Epitaph / Hellcat LP
“Graveyard Island” was an absolute
nightmare that nobody could’ve
dreamt up. Like so many other bands
in their position, these upstarts were
faced with the challenge of staying
busy and keeping momentum and
optimism with the wind of the world
in their faces.
True to their passion and power, these
fine gentleman from the Isle of Wight
certainly made the most of their time.
While constantly connecting with fans
in whatever ways they could, continuing
to try and build those relationships
in whatever form they can take
during a pandemic, Sid, Jack and
Jacob never took their eyes off the
prize. This album is no exception.
In Sid’s words, “With the absence of
life on the road and general shut
down of creativity, we knew it was
time for us to pick up our guitars, stick
and try something new. The record was
recorded in Jacks bedroom [aka
“Harding Road Studios”] using one
microphone, nothing else.”
The results truly speak for themselves,
and show off this talented three-piece
in a whole new light! Get ready to hear
that classic Grade 2 sound… that
sweet passion and grit, with a little
twist!
