Everybody’s off doing their own thing during the school
summer holidays and this makes it difficult for the band to get together, but
today we met up for a rehearsal. This was the first time the entire band has
got together for ages.

We were working on some material for a new song. Iggy
brought us a sick new riff he has been working out- it’s dark and mean. Tom
worked out a base line, which sounds awesome, and now I have got to work out
the drums while Jack writes the lyrics. The song’s got an edgy, fast rock feel
to it- lots of energy and pace. One run though and everyone in the room were
tapping their feet to it- even my granddad! We’re going to get together in four
weeks to try to finish it, and hopefully we can nail it before the end of the summer.

It was really fun working on a new song. It felt
exciting to be part of the band while we created something completely new, and
it gives us something to focus on, especially as we haven’t got any more gigs
booked at the moment.
