Black Hole Down is temporarily being taken off all streaming services as the distributor I used; Magroove, can't tell their arse from their elbow and fucked up, having not released it on Apple, Amazon, Pandora and many others, even after 4 emails to customer services, not a bean in response! Twats!
Anyway Black Hole Down is still on Youtube in video form and you can listen/purchase it on Bandcamp, so go there and listen and watch, like and subscribe, cos we need cheering up!! XXX
Click to see it below, its been messed with to look like its showing on an old knackered TV screen, because, why not?
Been messing with text to Ai and and delving back into After Effects (AE) after I couldnt face it for Hacked In. It really is incredible what text to Ai can do alongside something called Stable Diffusion and another technique called Out-painting.
Basically I fed either some of the lyrics direct, or descriptions of what I wanted some of the images to look like and then added styles such as certain artists or sci-fi matte painting and so on. Out-painting is using the Ai prompts to expand on each previous image, keeping the original image in the centre. I just kept doing that to create the images for the zoom, which I had to manipulate in AE to actually create the continuity. Stick on an Ai generated spaceship cockpit and some of this and that in AE and bingo....Cosmic return trip (song dropping Electric Wizard there!)
Give it a go, it's ace! I used Dall-e 2 and Nightcafe, but there are more and more all the time.
Its only been a year!?! New single is out now click below to listen about a love so strong you cant escape! we all want that don't we?!
My distributor hasnt yet delivered to Apple Music or Amazon Music (there may be others like Tidal etc but I have no way of knowing ) for some reason, so um..soz for now.
Our new single about the shite British press and the fools who believe their lies is out now! Go listen and share the simple message!

New single Hacked in is incoming, you have been warned!
Somewhat of a change in sentiment with this one, it is a bit of a diatribe against the gutter press in the UK and the gullible fools who believe the lies they print. OOOH BURN!!!! It's still a fun, stomping, genre bending FYDStar tune you want in you ears and as a special bonus, Gareth even wapps out some "metal" vocals at the end, WAAARGHHH!
Come back on the 16th to click to listen on all the good and tolerable streaming platforms :)
I've just uploaded a live acoustic version of our 2nd single Scream on youtube. I plan to do versions of Bite the Rope and Sweetness relatively soon and further more, to do proper studio versions of them in the future, with choirs and shit. yep.
Watch full video below!!

Nearly there!!
3rd teaser adds a splash of colour to proceedings in the form of dancing cupcake ladies and a Japanese cabaret dancer! You know, standard stuff really :)
Excited to announce our new single is to be released on the 25th March 2021 and yes I know it’s not a Friday, but I thought it was, like a numpty! Can’t change it now, so lets hear it for “New Music Thursday” anyone?
Anyway this is I think is our “poppiest” song, yet still low down and dirty and features my other half singing with me towards the end
I think so far, I get the biggest buzz listening to Sweetness, it’s just a fracking great combo of…. well sweetness and heavy Cosmic Thunder Sludge Pop (or is it Pop Sludge?) of course.
Listen to a small blast here
