I answered a few questions about what it is like working as a music photographer here in London and you can read all about it from page 56 of issue 12. Read it for free here. The rest of the magazine is very cool too so give it a full read. I feel really grateful for this so “thanks guys”.

This video is just some of that footage.

The album is called GO NOW AND LIVE and track playing through this video is from the album and it is ‘Overtime Is A Crime’. Make sure to get a copy of it … it’s a cracker.

Some of the photos from the tour can be seen HERE.

They used a photo I shot of Alfie that I took during their show at Kings College from the end of last year and I love how it came out.

Keep watching these guys, album two is going to be epic.

This is the artwork.

It will be available in-store shortly.

These are just 3 of the 15 grabs that can be seen on their site.

It was incredible to see everything take shape, rattle the guys brains, watch them work and just spend some good quality hang time with them.

I am not an editor and I used my wife’s happy snap camera to film these short clips so don’t expect anything great from this but thought it might be worth sharing anyway.

You can see a few of the photos HERE.

Last month I worked with We Are The Ocean for the week that they were in studio recording new tracks for an exciting release they are working on. I have worked with these guys for almost a year and a half now and I am really passionate about their music and the effort and time they put into what they are doing so spending time with them in studio (which is quite an intimate and important time for a band) was really special for me.

We worked together, listened a lot, played wii, ate rubbish cheap food, swam, jumped off bridges, walked, explored, listened a lot more, lazed around, slept, hummed, spoke rubbish, sang with the ninja and then on the last day quite early we decided to shoot a few portraits. The lighting during this time was really not the greatest just because it was SO harsh with a lot of moving clouds so it changed dramatically every 30 seconds (aperture reading changing from f7.1 to f18) but we made a plan and tried to get the best with what we had. We found this crazy dodgy location and below is one of the final photographs that I shot followed by 4 that Dan shot of use getting the set ready.

I love what I do.

Anyway I worked with they guys not so long ago and although our time together to shoot was quite short because of things running off time, we managed to get some pretty good portraits. The guys were really happy with them and will be using the one below for a poster on their up coming tour. It will be good to see it large.

The main reason for this post though is because I was just sent the link to their new music video for “Look Alive” which is the first single on their album. It was done in collaboration with the guys at Criminal Damage and it’s bound to get anyone excited about the stuff they are doing. What’s not to like? Liam and Dan’s voices are so different but so complementary in the stuff they do together and the rest of the band have an amazing input to their sound. I like it lots.

Check out the video below and make sure to check out their stuff when the album launches in January. I have a feeling it is going to become one of my favourites.

This is the photo. I hope you are all well. M

Currently listening to : Mutemath – Goodbye
