Album Notes

We have once again succumbed to a musical depression; Brit Pop culture has been moved from centre stage, to a painfully clear vantage point as our airwaves become saturated with cliché lyrics and monotonous melodies. Tawdry reality TV shows act as a seemingly endless supply of generic and forgettable pop stars. More and more bands are manufactured rather than formed, and there's a new generation that are conditioned into thinking that texting votes to a TV station is a worthwhile contribution to these "monumental", maybe even "historical" events.

Aidy aka singer/songwriter/producer Adrian Killens has proved that within this depression there are still more diverse lyrical subject matters out there, other than "broken relationships" and "Friday night drinking". His latest conception 'Darn Snail Like' explores a whole new lyrical and musical spectrum.

Born and raised in Essex, Aidy has always made music large part of his life, and learning to play guitar immediately turned into an output for his creativity. Early song writing and recording soon developed into playing in bands, playing open mic nights, frequenting recording studios, running fanzines and developing his skills as a producer.

Maybe Brit Pop is dead? Maybe recent times, have forced the music industry into a slow downward spiral, of dull lifeless songs? Maybe image and celebrity status have become more important than the music itself? But listen to the EP. It has a mind of it's own.
