The long awaited second album from The Stompies can be all yours, in pristine uncompressed CD quality for less than the price of a half decent bottle of Rioja from the Alvechurch Co-Op (and if you're not sure where Alvechurch is, what the Co-Op is or indeed quite what Rioja is then at least one member of the band can bring you up to speed on all three).
It's taken a while.
Interrupted by changing geography, a global pandemic, and minor heart surgery, The Stompies have been saying this collection was "on the way" for much longer than expected... but now the wait is over, and it was worth it.
11 original songs with which to treat your CD-Player, AND unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
Water Not Wine is available in inferior formats elsewhere - inferior primarily because it is only here on Bandcamp, or in person, that you can show your love and support for your favourite Worcestershire 7-piece by for this delicious item.
When art can't pay the bills and no one pays the rent,
There's nothing to give back, cos there's nothing you've been lent.
Like giving money to a used car when you're skint,
You drive the same old car but with a brand new dent.
You tried to audition for one of those reality shows,
But you tried acting hard, took too many sucker blows.
No you can't dance or sing, if graffiti was your thing:
Scrape the Banksy off the wall and sell it to the local pimp.
What is the word obscene? what does the F-word mean?
What is there left to say, when adult content is OK?
What is X-rated for? What's hard about hard core?
It don't say a lot, if adult content’s all you got,
All you got!
All you got!
I've never knelt in church, won't say nothing I've not meant,
You can't rewrite the past, cos nothing's heaven sent.
Why kiss the holy grail, if you don't inhale?
Or are you better off stuck inside of Jonah's whale?
What is the word obscene? what does the F-word mean?
What is there left to say, when adult content is OK?
What is X-rated for? What's hard about hard core?
It don't say a lot, if adult content’s all you got,
All you got!
All you got!
Love me, love my dog, love me.
The dogs of war they like to bark and lift their legs on any tree,
I'll doff my cap when it gets dark, who named this ship hypocrisy?
Or is it just OK, if you've got peace to sell?
Imagine a bed-in at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel.
What is the word obscene? what does the F-word mean?
What is there left to say, when adult content is OK?
What is X-rated for? What's hard about hard core?
It don't say a lot, if adult content’s all you got,
What is the word obscene? what does the F-word mean?
What is there left to say, when adult content is OK?
What is X-rated for? What's hard about hard core?
It don't say a lot, if adult content’s all you got,
All you got!
All you got!
The Stompies began life as ‘No Stompy on Sunshine’, but everyone referred to them as ‘The Stompies’ so that’s what they
became. They’ve all been making music for several lifetimes, ofen concurrently, but not necessarily in the same room or in the same band....more
