Tony G.	1617346885 I just listened to "Flesh On Trial" and my personal favourite,"There's A Dog Somewhere Barking". Easter is a time when I think about the people in my life who have passed on, and even though those songs aren't about that particular topic, the emotive quality of your music seems like it fits my mood right now. Thank you.I hope you are doing well in Liverpool. I also hope Liverpool beat Arsenal this Sunday! Take care. Report Comment Thank you so much! I hope your Easter was lovely. Sadly Gunners lost, but I live in Liverpool so at least I feel like I kinda won somehow. My best- by Torture and the Desert Spiders; 1617636325; Report

badwolf	1611875211 Hi thanks for the add I noticed you mention Liverpool (England perhaps?) are you from there? Report Comment Ah ya, we're based in Liverpool but I'm from NY/NJ! by Torture and the Desert Spiders; 1611891955; Report Nice to know we are in the same city right now haha. by badwolf; 1611897211; Report
Tony G.	1611813393 I just watched that entire live set at The Senn uninterrupted, and again I have to say it was wonderful.I also caught that "Lens Of A Wool" segment, where you did your song "Emperor's New Clothes". I thought it was going to be a Sinead O'Connor cover, but I'd rather hear an original anyway . Great song.Where did you learn to sing like that ?Again, just because I growl like an ape, doesn't mean I can't appreciate real singing !Here's a documentary about Victoria BC punk rock that was actualy named after a song I wrote ages ago, and my band is briefly in it as well. Hope you are well ! Report Comment Damn.Forgot to add the link . Here it is : https://youtu.be/LDtKAqhnKUY by Tony G.; 1611813460; Report I'm so glad you liked it! Good eye on the Emperor's New Clothes Sinead reference- I was so into her growing up and that song was written this year and was completely inspired by her tune. I taught myself to sing, just growing up walking around wherever I lived and belting out tunes as I walked... lots of Wilco and Nina Simone and Howlin Wolfe. Nowadays, I study music in Liverpool but beyond that it's just what I've always done. Glad to hear you dig it and I'll defo check out that doc tomorrow.

Lyrian Space Frequencies	1611572013 Thanks for the friend request! Report Comment Of course dude! Keep on, keeping on! x by Torture and the Desert Spiders; 1611639628; Report
Tony G.	1611553707 Your songs are beautiful and thoughtfully crafted. Your vocals have the capacity to both bring one to tears and make one smile simultaneously. Thank you for the link to that live set . Good night. Report Comment Wow... that made my night- thank you so much! I am stoked to check out your tunes and really, truly appreciate the feedback dude. Much love!! by Torture and the Desert Spiders; 1611639608; Report You're welcome ! It was just an honest response to how I felt when I heard your music.I'm happy you appreciated it.You may not have the same admiration when it comes to my yelling and hammering on the guitar like an angry ape, but it's still coming from a place of passion and dedication.It's cool if you're not into it though.Much respect to you. https://ak-473.bandcamp.com/releases by Tony G.; 1611640240; Report Thank you again. Yoooo that shit is heavy! Makes me miss the pit pre-rona haha. Who plays lead on that stuff? Really tight stuff. Dig Wrong Side of the Law and Smarmy Little Fuck, has all the good stuff of classic stuff but with a heavier vocal edge- who're yer influences? Groovin to this dude! Defo gonna be singing Wrong Side of the Law for a while.... by Torture and the Desert Spiders; 1611640970; Report My friend Kent does all the lead guitar work, and he's extremely talented.He can do everything from classic rock to his own material, metal, whatever really. I'm influenced by everything from Black Flag, to Tear It Up, Cut The Shit, Coke Bust, Raw Power, and too many others .The Clash are my favourite of all time, even though we sound nothing like them .On "Wrong Side Of The Law" I thought we kind of tapped into our love of AC/DC . I am also currently into Lewis Capaldi and Dermot Kennedy, even though that's far from what we do. What are your influences ?You've developed your own unique sound. by Tony G.; 1611666714; Report Ah, very cool- love a lot of those names! I was really influenced by Sinead O'Connor, Wilco, Villagers, The Clash, Billy Bragg, Dr. Dog, the Misfits, Joan Jett, the Modern Lovers- I love Jonathon Richman, the Pogues, Beck, CAKE, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Nina Simone... loads of bits. Lately been digging The Bamboos, The Poets of Rhythm and Spanky Wilson a lot! Lots of names haha. by Torture and the Desert Spiders; 1611667565; Report Awesome. I love Sinead O'Connor,Billy Bragg,Nina Simone,Joan Jett,and Jonathan Richmann is cool too.I will check out some of the names on that list that I haven't heard.I LOVE discovering new music ! Thanks for the names . Take care and I hope you're having a great day. by Tony G.; 1611704120; Report
