Jinxremover

Jinxremover are a speed-metal 3 piece, playing Motorhead-esque original rock and roll far too loudly. It’s lots of fun to be a part of and we’ve done some very short recording sessions which have produced some of the best drum takes I’ve ever laid down.

Procrastination can be the death of creativity, said the wise drummer. However, it is said that ‘wise’ and ‘drummer’ are two words which have no business forming sentences together, much like ‘fun’ and ‘run’. ‘Free’ and ‘beer’ is a different story. These are two words which should party together on a regular basis. I digress...

I’m happy to say Jamie is in agreement with me on the point of procrastination, which makes our recording sessions a lot of fun.

Messerschmitt

Many of the Jinxremover songs are written about war planes, due to Jamie's interest in the history of World War II. Below is the video we used for Messerschmitt, borrowing the footage from the 1968 masterpiece, The Battle of Britain. I actually prefer the version with English lyrics as it seems to flow better to me, but the original was recorded in German as it seemed apt at the time. I think it contains one of the best riffs Jamie has ever written.

Spitfire

Spitfire is, as the name might suggest to the more educated visitors to this site, another song about a warplane. It was originally an Airbus song, written when we were 16 years old, but we re-recorded it in 2006.
