about
Eagerly awaited debut album 'Empty, Derivative Pop Songs' is a pseudo-cynical, satirical collection of eleven high-octane, guitar driven, lyrical laments with the common theme of the folly of life, and the fallibility of man, which revels in its own struggle against imperfection. All tracks were recorded on a laptop in short blasts, in a rehearsal room with half-busted equipment, in under 18 hours total, for around £100. Lyrically, songwriter Dan Ormsby ruefully grins at his own hypocrisy: "Way over your heads, you're too stupid to get my edgy, alternative rock songs / Well, if you think you do, the joke's on you, they're just empty, derivative pop songs", he sniggers on 'Change The Record'. The album is preceded by a free download single, with the aptly ironic title of 'Nice Little Earner' on October 12th.
