Happy New Year everyone. I have decided to mark 2011 by releasing some free EPs; for one, to help promote my albums, and also so that I can release some cover versions that I wouldn't have the rights to sell.
This first EP features versions of two of the songs from each album plus two cover versions.
Snooze is an acoustic version of the song that appears on the first album.
How Ever #2 is a 4-track version of the song which later became the title track of the second album. This was recorded in 1993.
The version of the Nirvana song, Polly, is one that I recorded shortly after the death of Kurt Cobain, so it was intended as a tribute to him. I realise that some of the words are wrong but back in 1994, we didn't have access to the lyrics on the internet and they never appeared in Smash Hits, the weekly pop magazine, so I had to sing what I thought they were.
The last track is my a capella version of the Pixies' song Alec Eiffel, with additional hand slaps on my legs. It was recorded in 2006.

Zouch - However (new album)
This is the preview of my 2nd album, which is now available to buy on iTunes, Amazon and many more music sites.
It is more indie-rock than the first album and comprises older songs of mine, including some studio recordings when my first band recorded 2 demo tapes.
Tom Blackwell played bass on Blood for the Flowers, A Mistake and Waiting For Nothing. Darren Groucutt played drums on the same songs plus February. Adam Kyte played guitar on February; all of which were recorded in 2 studios in 92 and 93.

All About Zouch
Zouch is a one man act. I write and record everything myself. I have been writing songs for 20 years. I don't like the idea of using an image so you won't see me in photos or videos as Zouch is only about the music.
I played in a couple of bands in the 1990s. I was the singer and guitarist in the first band, which was mostly indie rock from 90 to 93 then I got fed up of writing all the songs, so we gave up and I later joined a band as a drummer. That was from 95 to 97. Since then, I've been doing music for myself and in 2009, I decided to start releasing my music via iTunes, Napster, Amazon.com, Rhapsody and EMusic.
