The Hurtful Taunts is my ongoing non-profit musical project. A sprawling musical collective, the group encompasses not only music but art, costume, dance, film, poetry and beyond. The stories and sounds are rooted in the world of Americana and embrace Tex-Mex, Mariachi, Flamenco, blues, gospel, traditional country, gypsy and a whole host of other disparate influences. I write all of the songs and they grow in the studio with the tremendous creativity of the rest of the collective. The connected lyrical stories inform all my artwork and then lead into other artforms. Regular recording sessions take place at Airtight Studios in Chorlton and the band play live whenever their busy other lives allow.
The Slaughterhouse Sermon are a menacing new band project fixated with dirty horn driven rock ‘n’ roll, underground gang culture and utter lawlessness….they’ll be appearing across the web in the coming months……
