Camouflage chameleon interscaling your building

Sooooooooo 'fiends, had the first enslaught of jams as our new triangular based entertainment group(3piecepunkband), we sacked off tryina figure out how we're guna play the demo and just wrote a fresh jam, hungry for lyrics? hungry for beer everyday? same here, i can't give you beer but i can give you lyrics to our new songs bitches...

'Are you winning?'

'My sword it be broken, my sword it be blunt, my wounds be a achin'
I left the boys at the battlefront
Some call us cowards, foes not friends, when we breath that eastern air,
It ain't ever goin to end.
Lets do a little living, while we're dying, drinking and drinking just stops our whining...
Seems you aint livin, til you dead
Seems you aint livin, til you dead
Atleast thats how it seems in my head..
I'm raging through frontyards, I'm riding on handlebars, I'm a stone thrown to your head
I'm all the tears that fall, that mean nothing at all, when youre safe tucked back up in bed.
Same horses, tryina jump that same old fense, same dirty old trousers, same something or nothing pense...
Its a race to live and am willing to give
Its a race to live and am willing to give
Momas little boys are running the roost...they fled the coop but not there youth
Its a race to live and am willing to give
Its a race to live and am winning again.'

What you reck on eh? More gigs announced down below, download the demo you fucks and tell all your friends/

peace
dopefiends

Haaaaaaawaiian hotbox?

we've been locked in a steamy sealed shower room caining endless joints to try and figure out what the dopefiends next move is since the departure of our fourth beloved fiend, we've also been spending alot of time in our Tipis (ya know them things red indians lived in) summoning influence and wisdom from higher beings...

after hours of contemplation and wondering a light shone a path so we followed (but you'll have t come t the next gig to see how it panned out). so as the steam clears and the smoke drifts off to the sky you should await the 16th of July at the Fox and Newt in Leeds for the next fucking 'PUNK N ROLL' bonanza, mad bands, mad pissed, madnesss.

until then spark up, crack open, boil up or fuckin rack up and chill with this sick Cramps vid...


dopefiends.

!!!TEENREBELDOPEFIENDS BANDCAMP!!! 4 FREE NEW SONGS

Let us know what you think of all this hippified acoustic shit we're doing, wether you love it or hate it.

Like i said take a toke pass it on whatever.

DOPEFIENDS

dear friends and foes

I was hopeing to delight your ears with three new FREE tracks today, as some form of apology for our abscence of action over the past few weeks....I am dissapointed to say my technological prowess leaves much to be desired (as do council libraries) so, in effect, I am a bearer of a bad dopefiend news but also good dopefiend news. That means no free music..today. But if things go well tomorow, you may have more than you bargained for.

GOOD NEWS HOMBRES! We're playing on Sunday 22nd May at the Packhorse in Leeds with Social Circkle and Dry Heaves + a possible acoustic appearance on Friday night at the Royal Park Cellars, could be missing one possibly two Dopefiends, but even if only one of us is there that kinda means we're all there, YA DIG?

Check back tommorow for free hippified punk music that y'all hate.
PEACE

Glossop View (live and loose)*temporary album name

Here is a little hint of what to expect from our upcoming release...and just cos we're fuckwits and its goin up late tonight you can have 2 for the price of nothing, it's all free anyways...

The rest of the album is full band orientated but these two tracks are a bit of solo raucous from me and gorgeous.

The Demo-nstration EP Review...

So after weve been trying our best to shift as many demos as possible a few reviews have now cropped up...

Foolios.com: Read it!
Sparkplugmagazine.com: Read it!
Theudaciousartexperiment.com: Read it!
Killyourownzine: Starting off sounding like a British version of Star Fucking Hipsters, this soon drifts into more blues/country territory, especially evident when harmonica kicks in. This results in TRD sounding like a drunk and/or high British Johnny Cash, if Johnny Cash was a bit angrier and a full band. Even though that doesn't sound like it, I liked it.

Gonna be making the next batch of 100 demos in time for Edinburgh next weekend and will start selling them online by then aswell, keep your ears open.

First trip to Scotland...

We're heading up to Edinburgh next weekend for an all dayer hosted by Walk the Plank Promotions, check out the Facebook page for more info about the show: Flier and info here.

Also we've got a brand new track for this weekends Sinnin' Sundays so check it out...
