Chords decay, ideas persist, everything else is noise.
A soundtrack and DIY anthems from a bloke who's read the manual and ignored it.Click and have a listen to my YouTube channel or on Facebook to listen to my songs.Sounds stitched together creating music for those who think and, therefore, doubt.
'This Is Not' is a one-man band. I sing, play electric guitar (acoustic guitar not allowed) and drum machine.
Full band sound minus all the hassle.
Full PA for smaller venues included.
