In this video, we are simply running through Bad Habit. This practice was fairly sloppy from all members, we aren’t very tight and it isn’t an impressive performance. There are a lot of slip-ups, and people forgetting their parts. This can be improved by practising all together along to a metronome to make sure we remain tight.

In this practice, we are running through smackhead as a full band with me listening to a metronome through my earphones. This was to get me used to playing the songs along to a metronome, and also get the rest of the band used to playing along to a steady pulse. For this reason, I wasn’t focusing on technical accuracy as I was keeping in time with the metronome.

This is a quick video of Sonny teaching Liam how to properly play the guitar parts to Smackhead. This is because Liam was fairly new to the band at this point, and hadn’t had the chance to properly get used to smackhead yet.

This is another run through of Smackhead, but without Sonny. In this video I am again playing along to a metronome, trying to get used to practising the songs in time.

This is another rehearsal of Bad Habit, but without Sonny. I am again listening to a metronome whilst playing this song to figure out what the correct tempo should be

These two videos are us running through the entire set that we had planned, which went in this order; Long Time, Potential, colossal, Bad Habit, Smackhead. This isnt the definite order of our setlist, but it is definetly the songs that we we want to have in our set.

At the end of this video, we also ran through a song that we had been briefly working on that we plan to work into a full song. This is yet unnamed, and will not be featured on the EP, but will hopefully be a good addition to our set.

In this video, we are doing a run through of Smackhead at our rehearsal space in SORM. This is just a quick run through to make sure we were all tight and accurate when playing.

This video is the same rehearsal at sorm, but rehearsing Bad Habit instead. Again, this was a quick run trhough to make sure we were all tight.

In these two videos, we are playing colossal. This is the first song we wrote all together and we were practicing it whilst running through our entire set to make sure that we were tight.

In this video, we are running through Bad Habit. The pont of this rehearsal was to iron out any creases in the song and make sure it was how we wanted it. We wanted to have all of the songwriting done by now so we can just focus on getting them as tight as possible and ready to go into the studio.

In this video we are reharsing Smackhead. It is important to note that we have all been individually practicing to the tempo maps that I have created. We do this seperatley to make sure we all know our individual parts as well as we can.

In this video we are rehearsing Colossal again. Even though we have been playing this song for a long time, it is important to carry on rehearsing old material to make sure that we dont get rusty. Towards the end of this video, Liam forgets the guitsr part for the bridge so we end up having to stop the run through so that Sonny can teach him the parts. It’s reasons like this why we always rehearse old material as well as the new.
