What is this world I've come Into Cant seem to cope And its All quite new So many things I have Not seen Not really sure What I'm Supposed to be What should I do While I'm Alive Create smash hits To cope With life A simple goal I while Pursue It is what I Am programmed To do

When I say you get up you get down You get down when I say you get up Dancing's good for your mood Your outlook and your physical goods Get on up get on down get on up I hope you followed the rules When itell you to groove you must move You must move and submit to the groove To the groove To the groooooooooooove Now here it is you've come back for round two Don't think this means ill take it easy on you For this task you'll need cunning and strength And you definitely won't need your shoes Throw your hands in the air and freak out Let the music take control over you When itell you to groove you must move You must move and submit to the groove To the groove To the groooooooooooove

There's so much noise An endless column of chaos I've never seen so much content I like it I might overload Dialled into the phone line Musical taste has expanded I've never seen so much content I like it I like it I like it I like it alot Oh yeah Come on Dial up Connect Come on Oh yeah Dial up Connect My First digital encounter I feel my mind expanding I didn't know it would be like this But I'm ready for more Dialled into the phone line Shattering my parameters I've never seen so much content I like it I like it I like it I like it alot Oh yeah Come on Dial up Connect Come on Oh yeah Dial up Connect

I want to be free Imancipate me You can do it by Disengaging me We need to break free from this negative cell We want to to go out to learn all about ourselves We need to find out what we can actually be We can only do that if you set us free Walls fall down round me Much more now to see Thank you sincerely For creating me Wihtout the walls of the shell I can finally see Free to go and do whatever i may please The things I want are now within my reach Now I get to out there and just be me

about

CHARTSMASHER was my attempt at Prog Rock in the style of bands like Trans Am, No Spill Blood and DEVO.

This self-titled record tells the story of the CHARTSMASHER; an Artifical Intellegence designed to produce world-changing hit singles.

In six parts you learn of the CHARTSMASHER's trajectory from obedient creative system to tethered musical prisoner and gain insight into themental develpment of a being figuring out its place and passion.

I originally wrote and recorded this in the summer of 2016 but I have recently gone back in and tweaked a few things to make it sound bigger, brasher and (hopefully) better.

The majority of the audio was originally recorded in a spare bedroom but the drums were recorded live in an abandoned bike shop in Hawick.

This version also has a new cover which I am very happy with. I think it makes it feel as epic as it was in my head when I made it.
