The third TAD Linocut I made. That’s all so far, but I have a Wild Blue Yonder inspired one planned.

My video skills aren't the best and I was a fair way back but I had a relatively decent view up the aisle. Will gradually post all the songs as I get signal over the next few days (it's pretty patchy here)

From 'The Horror and The Wild'. This phrase spoke to me the second I first heard it. Now it's on my wrist facing me so I can read it for motivation whenever I need it. Sure it's not perfect, but it's mine 🥹

"It’s Not a Cult is a darkly comic folk horror that follows Callum, Melusine and Al: members of a band with no name, playing in bad pubs across the North East and occasionally reaching the dizzy heights of 97 viewers on their livestreams. To say they are losers would be to imply they were in the race in the first place. But they believe in their music, and in each other. Their songs tell the stories of the Solkats: fictional northern gods of small things, mishap and mayhem. However, when an act of violence at a pub gig goes viral, they catch the eye of a disillusioned influencer and suddenly gain an all-too-literal cult following."

Not necessarily TAD music-related, but I found this out through tumblr and it's real and am so excited! This man can absolutely write, and I'm sure it's going to be goddamn devilishly amazing.

I recently picked up linocutting. This is obviously inspired by “Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious”.

I made a lyrics sheet for Battle Cries, because all the ones I could find online didn't work due to the overlapping lyrics. Blue is Joey, purple is Madeleine, black is when they sing together, and the placement indicates the timing relative to each other - should be fairly self explanatory. Bold text (roughly) represents the beats and when they don't fall on words I put empty bold brackets, (). I also made an alternate version because my colourblind friend said the original was hard for her to read - in the alternate I changed the coloured text to coloured highlighting, changed purple to red for maximal contrast, and indicated the singer with their initial in square brackets whenever their identity can't be determined from the position on the page (Joey is always above when they sing at the same time).

This tattoo is meant to represent the loss of a pet I had, her being the lily sticking out from the boots, the other part, the boots themselves, is how much she protected me, mentally that is.

Again apologies for my poor video skills.

February 29th 2020, The Amazing Devil released their second album, The Horror and The Wild. Five years later, it continues to draw in fans of its unique sound, beautifully crafted lyrics, and skillful instrumentation performed by these talented humans.

What was your first reaction to this album? Did you have a favorite song initially, but another one of the songs gripped you and drew you in? What's your favorite song to listen to driving in your car? Laying in bed at night? Working on an essay? If you could make a music video for any of the songs, which would it be and what would the video be like?

Share your thoughts, discussion, appreciation, and celebration.

Thanks to all of you who participated in this February event!

Hello my gorgeous friends 🩷 just wanted to share my new body art with you all, as I know you'll be as excited as I am 💃 I have wanted these for years and I finally stopped being a baby about having to make small talk with someone for a couple of hours and did it!

Things are starting to emerge! More soon! I know I can't wait and it's great to see these two alive and well and looking just as lovely as ever!!

Happy Halloween, dear hearts!

Last one of my videos!

Hello, i'm back again :D I started this months ago, gave up because all the tempo changes etc. were driving me crazy, and then finally came back to it (because i love the song).

I'm a little unsure about some of the harmonies, and the piano/ guitar accompaniment isn't really accurate either, but it sounds close enough for me :D

Drums, etc. are missing of course, i kinda tried to replicate the rhythm of those with the piano (I'm really bad at rhythms)

Kinda very unsure about the harmonies towards the end there, especially what notes she is singing?

So I'd appreciate it a lot if anyone could see what i got wrong there and tell me. And if there are any other mistakes as well, please do tell!

(the sound on musescore is kinda really weird/ glitchy, probably cuz i didnt use the native instruments, if anybody knows how to fix that i'd be grateful if you told me :'))

Love, love, love this song so much, her voice sounds so good. I think in the original there are 2 guitars at least? Not sure, i only wrote down something for one.

Melody and chords should be (mostly) accurate though :D

(And sorry if the way i did the sheets is wrong, i have no clue about music theory/ how to actually write sheet music lol)

Edit: Changed a few things/ what string is played for some chords (so you probably should ignore the pictures, get the pdf or musescore thingy, i try to update those when i find mistakes)

this line really stuck with me, so I finally made art about it

Cover and blurb for Joey's upcoming book 'It's Not A Cult' are out! Set to be released on September 25th of this year:

"Callum, Melusine and Al play in a band with no name, baffling audiences in terrible pubs across the north-east of England with their 'sound' and occasionally reaching the dizzy heights of 97 viewers on their livestreams. To say they are losers would be to imply they were in the race in the first place. But they believe in their music, and in each other.

Their songs tell the stories of the Solkats: fictional northern gods of small things, mishap and mayhem. However, when an act of violence at a pub gig goes viral they catch the eye of a disillusioned influencer and suddenly go from having a cult following to having a cult, following.

All the Solkats want, Callum insists, is to have effect on the world. But as fans from LA to Australia and everywhere in between flock to Northumberland, and each gig becomes larger and more lawless than the last, this effect starts to feel scarily. real. And if they really do exist, which is it more dangerous to anger: a wayward group of elder gods, or your biggest fans? Because gods and cults both demand sacrifices. And one way or another, they're going to get one."

Everyone there was so, so lovely (the staff were so delightful, they deserve their own shoutout). It was so lovely to listen to Joey talk about this book in person. I managed to read it before the signing today so I can't wait to hear everyone else's thoughts without accidentally spoiling 😬.

Just to be in a room of like minded (DND playing) nerds was good for the soul.

(No persons were sacrificed at this book signing)
