No EQ. No compression. Just raw floor tom tone.

Happy to announce with our new more local and fair distribution service now in place, that Millionaires is now available on Spotify. Moving distribution services means our 'numbers' have collapsed - but as a wise man once said - 'no one gives a f**k anyway'

Millionaires is the first song I wrote since the Birth of my - so much cooler than me - son Reef, and I'll be honest at the begining it was a hard adjustment, so all the songs since then have explored this theme, and how its often not an instant bond for us dads, and the pressure can really get to your head. So its important to try maintain a hobby, which Im hugely thankful for mum (amber) for facilitating being able to continue being creative - she even part paid for this song to be recorded. So this one is for her and reef, whom I love very much, and they make me feel like im a Millionaire.
