about

January 2022: Covid comes to Sean's house after evading it for 2 years *sigh* and we knew what must be done.
4 songs were left from Antiskeptic's annoyingly optimistic 'Memoirs of a Common Man' that were un-touched by the dark mark. With the downtime that comes from being in isolation (and recovery), guitars came out and re-writes began to finish the work which began at the start of this pandemic. Re-arrangements took shape and tracking soon followed in between naps, doses of ibuprofen and cold & flu medicine.

Fast forward to March 2022: Covid goes to Ant's house this time. Mixing and drum programming followed in between working from home, rat tests and warm drinks.

The result:
As Yet Untitled, FYSC, Letting Go and Prove Me Wrong all got put through the looking glass and came out transformed and reimagined, sounding more disfigured and unrecognizable than ever before.

Here we lay them to rest amongst the previous other works in the form of: Grimoirs Of a Common Band.

Featuring a star-studded supporting cast:
Guest vocals by Steven COACH Cannatelli (The Suburbs), Jack Bergin (Void Of Vision), Brenton Harris (Catholic Guilt), Chris Tanahill (Drastic Park), Daniel Jeary (Moustache Ant/Baysy Howlers), Tim Greenwood (Colour and Shade), Chris Causby (Blood Red Flag), Gerard Pidoto (The Statics), Louise Kilgour, Joe Symons & the Dark Antiskeptic Choir.
Bass/Synth/Vocals: Simeon Bartholomew (SEIMS)
Extra Guitars: Carl Jackson (Wishful Thinking), Dan Gray (A Day of Colours), Damian Cafarella (The Wildes) & Ant Blake.
French Horn - Bryce Turcato, Sax - Joel Dawson, Trumpet - Josh Dolan
Glockenspiel - Noah Symons (Great Earthquake)
