‘RAIN DOWN MY WINDOW PANE’ - OUT NOW
Originally written by Paul in 2018, this track could just as easily have been written for now. Its subject matter centres on war, the effect on those sent to fight it and caught in the crossfire, and whether the end ever justifies the means.
‘Rain Down My Window Pane’ is evocative and thought provoking, and a sad truth that some five years after it was first penned, nothing has changed!
Joining Paul on guitars, vocals and bass, are Jonathan Wills on drums, percussion and production and Becca Toft on trumpet. Strings were arranged by Charlie Fowler..
‘SOLE SURVIVOR’ & ‘DON’T COUNT ON ME’ -
OUT NOW!
Sole Survivor and Don’t Count On Me features the inimitable Jacko Peake (Paul Weller/The Style Council/Groove Nation) who contributes stunning brass on both tracks. ‘Sole Survivor’ hits a 70’s inspired soul groove while ‘Don’t Count On Me’ strikes a Northern Soul vibe that’s reminiscent of classic 60’s hits with a modern edge.
With renowned drummer Jonathan Wills (Super db band) adding spectacular drums and percussion, and co-producing these tracks to an incredible standard, vocalist Lyndz Ruth adds soulful backing vocals to elevate both tracks while perfectly complementing Paul’s vocal style.
‘ALL OUTTA LOVE’ SINGLE - RELEASED 12.7.22
Written, recorded and performed by Paul, this track came together quickly with all parts and vocals taken from the original demo to give it a live and spontaneous feel.
Featuring Steve ‘Smiley’ Barnard (The Alarm/Mock Turtles/Robbie Williams) on drums, who felt it deserved the ‘Moon treatment’, this track is reminiscent of The Who with other influences seeping in to give it a retrospective yet contemporary vibe.

OTHER RELEASES & DEMOS
After co-writing a 5-track EP with Eddie Macdonald, original and founding member of ‘The Alarm’ in 2016, Paul set about writing and recording solo material in 2017. Since then, he has amassed a catalogue of around 50 demos that have never been recorded or produced for official release. In May 2021 Paul teamed up with friend and former bandmate Charlie Fowler to refine his original demos and re-record parts to get the songs to release quality. Following the single ‘Faith’, a 4-track EP entitled ‘Sound Bites’ was released in April 2022. With all tracks written by Paul, he also played all instruments and sang all vocals along with invaluable contributions from drummer and percussionist Ben Gordelier (Paul Weller band), Katya Fowler on backing vocals (Real Deal) and Charlie Fowler on backing vocals (Real Deal), additional keys (Faith) and synths (Real Deal). Charlie also produced the EP. Hear a selection of Paul’s releases below:
