Diary of a Madman

“Most likely conceived during a listening session of Ride The Lightning, Gray holds the torch high for bogans within These Four Walls. Weaned on heavy guitar riffs, power ballads and over enthusiastic livers – Gray has made a career out of pulling his influences from the underground and bringing their beauty to the surface.”

Well – that’s the third person perspective over… Basically – this blog area allows me the chance to communicate directly regarding writing, recordings and anything going on within the music of the band. I’ll probably try and make it interactive and I PROMISE to put the tabs up that people have been asking for, patiently, for so long!

For now – I’ll leave this bare, as not to overstuff the blog turkey.

Stay classy and I’ll keep in touch!

Peace!

Ladies & Gentleman, Boys & Girls, step right up to the bloggiest blog in town!

So, how does the new website look huh?  Pretty snazzy!  I’m pretty chuffed about it…mostly for the fact that I have yet another public domain to spam.

As a bunch of you may know we’re in the process of making our Debut album…affectionately known as ‘Project Greenlight’, which will definitely be the album title.  Definitely.

I’m currently sitting up in our practice space while the guys are demoing new tracks….actually we’re now having a meeting.  Wow…running commentary.  Awesome.

I’ll check in soon!

Peace.

Ouch!

Ahoy!

I’m Brad and I am the drummist in These Four Walls. about 10 seconds ago I accidentally stabbed myself in the thumb with a kitchen knife and now I’m trying not to get blood on the keyboard. Stranger still, this happened while sitting at my desk  at work. I should probably write this in the ‘Accident Log’ but that’s for squares man!

Thats right, I just had a go at the ’squares.’ You should know that I won’t be pulling any punches in this blog – nobody’s safe, not squares, geeks, nerds, train enthusiasts, part-time warehouse assitants, CHUDs or mole-people.  Tell that to the P.C. Police! I’m not saying anything about the Chinese though, those guys know Karate!

Some people say I look like Jesus. I guess I’m kind of like Christian Slater to Jesus’ Jack Nicholson – because I often get accused of impersonating him and looking stoned. It’s funny how the closer you get to looking like a homeless person, the more likely you are to be compared to the son of God.

Good, now my thumb has dried up I can hit the spacebar with gay abandon (as opposed to heterosexual restraint.) But I’ve run out of things to say.  Maybe another self-administered stab will get the old brain ticking again, boost the adrenaline…..
wait…..
no….
nothing.
I think I’ll go now.

I Must Be a Sexy Man…

After seeing Brad’s new well-designed website and the ‘funny’ photos of me I’ve had a realisation.

I must just be a sexy man.

I only say this, because almost every photo of me that has been used on a website or a t-shirt since I joined this band seems to involve me pulling some ’sex-face’. The very first t-shirt we brought out had me in the middle of the 5 faces with my ’sex-face’ on and my shirt unbuttoned, which I maintain was a black collar shirt unbuttoned with a white t-shirt underneath. Its just a shame that the shirt was black and the rest of us was white because it makes me look like – as the printer quoted – George Michael.

All I can pro-actively do from this day forth is pull some other dumb face, instead of my usual chiseled good looks.
Why this happens every time a photo is taken…I just don’t know.
