Various
Artists - "GBG Volume One" (Twist Recs 2005)
|
||||
 |
Having all returned from travels 'n' whatnot in 2003, we found ourselves back together 'n' jammin' again. It wasn't long before the excellent Twist Records decided to package and release a compilation of local (ie Guernsey) music, so we gave 'em the only track which we had recorded at the time. Written by Chaddlebuck and heavily abused by the rest of us, "Mighty Fine" is available here as a FREE DOWNLOAD!... | |||

The
Bensons - "Backpack" (Demo 1997)
|
||||
 |
"Backpack" is a collection of rough sessions written during a heatwave in the summer of '97 and recorded down at the poolshack on grandpa's ole 8-track casette machine. The recording was for our own pleasure and never intended to be distributed, however since people have been asking for copies, here's the tracks we still play for FREE DOWNLOAD!... |
