Hello, If you have been following the Quiet One process then you should know by now that the mastering for the Quiet One album is now complete.

Hello all, This will be my first post on Hurt Records, and my first post speaking as anything actively music related. Let me explain; As some of you know, my name is Jack but I am known online as 'Boop'.

Hello, It's been a week or so since my last blog post and I apologise for the delay. It's been an incredibly busy few weeks for me an my bands. It feels like i've not stopped working since I last wrote the blog post.

I am now happy to announce that the Quiet One album now has a name (which you will learn at..  … Read More

Hello,I'm trying to find time at the end of each day to write a few words regarding recent events and important milestones. It's been an amazing three weeks, I finally have complete clarity and I have no-one holding me down. I'm not sure I could be more productive if I tried and so I'm trying to make the most if it. I have four projects on the table as I write this, my Quiet One album, my Two Down album, my Diplomat verses and my Group 916 album. The best part about all of this is that I open the..  … Read More
