FUTURE
I don’t know what we’ll make together—but if it matters to you, it’ll matter to me…….
If you are finally ready for someone to listen-
The past
Where it started. What it cost. Why it still matters.
If you’ve made it this far, you probably want to know where this all came from.
These albums launched my career, built my ethos, and shaped the integrity that would follow.
I learned how to produce. How to write. How to deliver under pressure.
My breakthrough—and my breaking point.
2000–2008
The Fake Sound of Progress → Start Something → Liberation Transmission
Role: Songwriter, Bass, MPC
From a tiny room in Wales to gold and platinum records, global tours, and the biggest stages on Earth.
These were the years of ignition:
Our first U.S. tours.
Our first festival slots—eventually headlining Download Festival.
Sharing the bill with Metallica across European festivals.
Songs on radio, MTV, and soundtracks we never imagined.
We went from underground to undeniable—until the anthems became the brand.
We scaled fast and loud. But not everything we loved survived the ascent.
Highlights & Awards:
• NME Award – Best Metal Band
• British Live Act – Winner (2001)
• Song of the Year – “Last Train Home” – Winner (2004)
• British Band – Winner (2006, 2007)
• Album of the Year – Liberation Transmission – Winner (2006)
• Gold & Platinum Records – multiple countries, Number 1 UK top 40 Pop Charts
• Headlined Download Festival, supported Metallica across Europe
2009–2011
The Betrayed (2010)
Role: Songwriter, Bass, Keys, Producer, Mixing Engineer.
The cracks were showing. The pressure was high. So we took control.
Our first self-produced record—long before self-producing was the norm.
Darker. Heavier. More personal.
We scrapped an earlier version—a $300,000 major-label record that sounded plastic, templated, and that was completely unlistenable.
It felt hollow. Like a parody of who we used to be.
What followed was a raw, possibly misguided attempt at clawing back our identity—but it paid off.
It was also the moment I realized what kind of producer I didn’t want to become.
Recorded at:
• Sunset Sound Room 3 (LA)
• Kingsize Soundlabs (LA)
• MANT Studio (Eagle Rock, CA)
Mixed at:
• Sunset Sound Room 1
Award:
• Kerrang! Classic Songwriter Award (2010)
2012
Weapons (2012)
Role: Songwriter, Bass, Co-Creative Direction
Creatively, the band was barely holding together. The spark was fading.
We brought in Ken Andrews (Failure) to take over production, hoping a fresh voice could pull us back from the edge.
Working with someone I respected that deeply was one of the few things that still felt right.
The record got made. But artistically, it felt like we were finishing something, not building.
Still, the work mattered. And what I carried forward—the instincts, the sound, the standard—never left.
I didn’t know it then, but I was already building the next chapter—one shaped by purpose, not pressure.
We had no idea what was about to happen next.
You carry the good forward. You leave the rest behind.
