News April 6 2003
Band Practice brought about some real talent today! A new
instrumental track 'The Harmonica Song' was worked on. The band can have
brought 'Grow' up to gig standard. Silver Skies is also taking shape, with Mark
now joining in on vocals for a 3-part harmony and Paul tapping out an indie
rhythm. We have been working on a new track as well; It is in the style of The
Datsuns.
The Band quickly covered Can’t Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Times Like These By the Foo Fighters.
Overall a very creative and productive practice. (The Harmonica Song RoCkS!)

News 2 April 2003
Come on everyone lets have a big cheer for
Rooney!!! Last night's band practice achieved nothing more than a ridiculous
cover version of Nirvana's "polly" in a ska punk style! Made by
John and Darren purely to blaspheme against Marks religion (Cobain-ism) the
track is exclusively available to download to members of our Yahoo! group
(see links page) which is free to join and well worth it just for John's jokes
and the demos of new songs that can't be found anywhere else! "Silver
Skies" is getting better and better and hopefully will grow to become one
of the band's most prominent tracks, a new version of "No Way" is in
the offing, with better lyrics and an extra vocal line. Adios everybody,
and...peace!

Hello People! Did you remember to move your
clocks forward?? Well it's been a busy couple of weeks for Darren, John, Mark
and Paul with new material coming thick and fast and plenty of administration
to keep us going. We've been making guitar and vocal tracks to over 10
new songs around which the framework for the whole band will be placed.
We've also decided on the title for our EP when it was suggested by a friend of
the band called Kyle, The Criticism EP will be recorded throughout the coming
months and should be available during the summer. New songs added to our
set list and for consideration for the EP include, "Glare," "
Grow," "Noodles (don't ask!)", "Now or Never,"
"Silver Skies" and a couple more surprises up our sleeves. Those of
you who are lucky enough to have access to our exclusive demo page will be
able to hear previews of these songs in the next few days. Welcome
to summer! -Backlash
