2003 - Another 4-Track recording. Theres a handful of these little poppy tunes that I believe would have been Side Walk Slam songs if I had not left the band. When I left in 2002 I was still in SWS writing mode for a couple of years, every once in a while something else would rear its non pop punk head out of me but more would come later when I would finally allow myself to.
The neat thing about this song is the effect on the vocals. Like I said it was recorded with a 4-track. We had a landline back then, so I used to telelphones. I took em off the hook until there was silence and sang into one while the other one was mic'ed and going into the 4-track. It gave a cool distorted sound. If you listen closely in the middle you can hear the busy signal that finally comes through on a landline once its left off the hook too long.
The lead singer of punk band Camp Cope ventures into romantic synth-pop territory, tempering slick arrangements with bare sentiment.

The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
