What's In A Name?

After a lot of thinking and considering, I have decided that the name I like most for the new band is: Harting Hill.  I wrote a narrative poem around 10 or more years ago.  I simply saved it and filed it away, like a lot of my other short stories.  It was about a man that gives a lift to a girl, whom may or may not have been a ghost. 

Well, I am currently reading through 'The Mistletoe Bride And Other Haunting Tales' and to my great surprise her story 'On Harting Hill' is almost exactly like a longer version of a poem.  I found the story very captivating and as a result I thought that it would make a good name.  It doesn't pidgeonhole the band to any one style and it has a nice air of mystery.  So there we are - Harting Hill will be rocking your socks off soon.

How did you come about your own band name?  Did it last or did you change it a few times before you felt happy with the moniker?

A New Band Emerges!


So here we are guys, this is the first track that the new venture has written.  It is called Animal Carcass and it was designed to be just a straight up blast of thrash for a minute or two.  It was a lot of fun to play and the recording is totally live with no post production.  Let me know what you think!
