Our new single 'Scatter' hits harder when performed. Filmed at Soundcast Studios, chonky riffs, scathing words, zero compromise. Catch us tearing it up live this Friday at District.

I'm extremely proud to finally be dropping my new showreel on the world!

This video looks back over the last 15 years of film-making and post-production. If you need a video shot, directed or edited, I'd love to hear from you!

[Sundergeist @Sundergeist]

Last week @RicShields linked up with Trev "Lone Wolf" Opie to talk about the debut album, before totally straying from the path and discussing everything else, from discovering you're actually a ghost to mental health journeys to musical sex toys.
