Songs range from the stripped-down acoustic song "Your Serenade", to the dreamy fuzz-heavy jam of "Sea Glass", to the stomping electric rocker "I've Still Got Your Blood On My Curtains". John likes his song to be accessible yet abstract, stating that "It's good to write a song that people can get behind and understand. All my songs come from a real situation or a feeling that everyone will have, but I don't want to make them so specific that no one can relate to them." He regularly plays at open mic nights around the area, but also is a doyenne of support slots, having supported bands such as NEMO, Seers, MEME, Our Mutual Friend, at the Artrix Theatre in Bromsgrove ("Easily my favourite gig so far," he beams), and Dead Radio Society, in support of their EP release, 'Plan Z'. He is currently working on new material, recording home demoes & fleshing them out into songs that are more than purely acoustic. "It'
