about

“Thought it’d be fun idea to put some music out recorded entirely at home.

Seeing as we can’t all get together, we recorded all our parts separately then sent them off to the infamous Simon Dodd for mixing. There’s more to come in the series, maybe some covers maybe some more oddball songs.

The first of the ‘housebound sessions’ is a song about being stuck inside all day with nothing to do but write songs. Kinda tongue in cheek. Very meta.” - Rudie Dodd

Taking on a palette of influences, from the British post-punk sounds of The Clash and New Order through to more modern takes from MGMT and The Strokes.

lyrics

I couldn't think of a single thing to do today
And I would have thought you'd have some ideas but I guess that's fine
I wonder will I ever leave the house again just to waste some time
Read my thoughts i'm in my room i'm alright

Ooh don't turn around
Ooh just let it out
Ooh nothing to do
But play the housebound blues

But too many times i've said
"It's just so easy I swear"

Ooh don't turn around
Ooh just let it out
Ooh nothing to do
But play the housebound blues
