Modern Age Blues (demo)

A very early demo dating from sometime around 1995/96. This was recorded on a four track portostudio I had spoilt myself with and had very little actual production as such and no vocal affects at all (those came later when I purchased a Roland vs-880 digital workstation). So therefore it's all very rough and ragged.

Lyrically this was an attempt at social commentary and was aimed predominately at the Fat Cat syndrome that had sprung from the Thatcherite years. It pointed at the destruction of our core manufacturing industries and the devastating effect this had on whole communities leaving Britain as nothing more than a "nation of shop assistants". Looking back the lyrics are somewhat naive with almost a brothers to arms message, a sort of us against them shout. I was an idealist I guess and really nothing much has changed.
