This is what happens when you shove a loud band in a tiny room and press record.

No frills, just five lads making a racket that happens to be pretty darn awesome!
It’s live, it’s loud, and it’s probably not safe for your phone's speakers.

Watch the full session now on our YouTube.
And don’t forget, July 25th is Atomic Mother day! They have a single release, music video, and a gig that may well take the roof off Drummonds!

Not sure if Uri Geller's been in or Salvador Dalí's started making cymbal stands... but I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen under normal use!! 🤣🤣

Ain't easy being a drummer!

Firesnake smashed a double-gig weekend, school show Friday, then straight to The Music Hall on Sunday! Their final rehearsal here at Captain Tom’s was the perfect warm-up to help them steal the show!

Hard to believe they’ve only been playing for under two years and already racked up 9 gigs. No fear, all fire!

Great having them in, and hope to see them back soon!

Got a lost cat hanging around hiding under a car here for the last few days....

Anyone lost a furry funkster looking like this one in the area?
