Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 16/07/2025The front cover of my album shows all my guitars and pedals out, but when you flip the cover over, you see everything in the same place but in their cases. Standing all the guitars on a rack that's not designed to hold them like this was truly terrifying. 020
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Remember when I posted a few weeks ago saying "Gee, I've not changed my pedalboard in 18 months...I'm cured!" I wasn't cured. Here's the latest iteration of the board. Gone are the noise killer and Boss RV-3, welcome the Mosaic and Fart Pedal! (Two gag pedals on one board now!) 270
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Holy crap, it's been over eighteen months since I last changed something on my pedalboard. Could it be that Version 6.0 is finally "the one"? 🤔 3190
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 26/05/2025An advert in Cornwall. I'll send a CD to the first person to find it. Take a photo of yourself with it! 😁 080
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 02/05/2025It's #BandcampFriday! "Who cares?" I hear you shout. "I do!" I reply. "Well what should we buy?" you enquire. "How about checking out our debut album, Twenty-Five Years?" I suggest. "Is it any good?" you wonder. "Ask no more, check out this video to find out why it's so flippin' good!" I yell! 011
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 28/04/2025I decided my first electric needed a refresh so I bought a new scratch plate, knobs, switch, and pickup covers. That was this morning's project, and I think it came out okay! 1100
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 21/03/2025I got a new PC from quietpc.com. Thankfully it's not as big as the box suggests but damn, it's SILENT! This'll make recording acoustic guitar a hundred times easier! 150
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Behold! My lovely Sire Marcus Miller M5 bass! No, I'm not a bassist, but I fancied one a few years ago and figured I'd grab a five string. Every so often I go through a stint of reaching for that instead of a guitar. It's fun to noodle one. Makes my guitar feel puny when I go back to it afterwards.😂 280
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 02/02/2025It's the Tannon Butthead. You might not be ready for it yet, but your kids are gonna love it. 010
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 31/01/2025In twenty-eight years of playing I've never once taken a guitar in for a setup. I can just about do it myself (I think, having tried to learn on the one I built) but I've not tried it on any of my other guitars. Well today I've sent my ES-335 in for a setup. I get it back tomorrow...🤞 260
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 31/01/2025The Applause @theapplauseband.bsky.social have a new song out today (at bloody last!) It is rocky, it is guitarry, it is great. I'm listening to it on LOUD! Check it out (and get it on Bandcamp, guys!) open.spotify.com/track/6srxoi... Don't make us wait years for song number three, okay? 😁 342
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 17/01/2025You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? 120
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 17/01/2025The White Lion Pub, Stockport, May 1999. Played for free on the promise of free drinks. No landlord, no drinks. Next time we saw him we mentioned it and he invited us back. Free drinks, but we sucked, so no third gig. 😂 111
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 15/01/2025It's a good job I don't give a toss about Spotify streams. You're all listening to your CDs and downloads though, right? 🧐 020
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Mine would be Who'll be a Soldier by Gentleman Soldier. It was my Dad's folk band around forty years ago and they produced and pressed their own vinyl album in 1985. It's not available anywhere (except maybe Discogs) but I love it as I can still hear my Dads voice even though he's now gone. 130
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 07/12/2024I don't think I can finish my dinner. My last chicken nugget looks like the Millennium Falcon. 4131
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Nah, I've got my eye on another Harley Benton actually, but purely because it's utterly beautiful and I've never played a maple neck before. I still don't have any room left though, and really don't need another strat. 231
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I've been a guitarist since I was 17 so I don't feel the inclination to switch over completely, though I do enjoy a good noodle on bass. I got myself a Sire Marcus Miller M5 a few years ago and while I maybe should have got the 4 string instead, it is a beautiful instrument to play. 341
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 26/11/2024You've seen all mine before, and you've probably seen this photo already too, but it's the latest shot of all (well, most) of mine. I don't know what's worse, that it took me about three hours to set up, take, and edit this photo, or that I absolutely loved doing it. 😂 292
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Yeah, I've built a few of them now. One was for a competition, two were for friends, and I have the original and the "all yellow" one. As you can see from the innards though, it really does nothing. 😂 010
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 14/11/2024I just took a new family photo a few weeks ago so I have to post that. 😁 151
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Right, I'm off for a bit. If you want to find me, I'll be behind this beauty. 😁 2120
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 07/10/2023WE HAVE A WINNER! Feel free to watch the replay of the live video on our Facebook page, though I did bollocks it up a bit apparently. Still, I shall now contact the winner to discuss...NOTHING! Thank you to all who took part, I shall parcel up the CDs today! 160
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 07/10/2023It's stupid'o'clock and this is the world so there's got to be someone else up too, and it's not too late (or early) to have a last minute try to win The Nothing pedal. I'm out of new pictures though so here's the idiot who'll be building it instead. 😁 stormofcrows.bandcamp.com/album/twenty... 170
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 06/10/2023Bloody hell Oli, @radiotfsc.bsky.social, the bots sure sprang up on Twitter last month! They're all from September 2023, but none of them have any followers. 120
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 06/10/2023It's time for NOTHING! Buy our CD during #BandcampFriday and you could win The Nothing pedal. One lucky(?) winner will get their own Nothing, but also get to choose the colour of the LED, knobs, and the pedal itself. Good luck! You can buy the CD here: stormofcrows.bandcamp.com/album/twenty... 183
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 04/10/2023Win...NOTHING! That's right, I'm giving away "The Nothing" pedal to one lucky winner. All you have to do is buy our CD on Bandcamp Friday (6th October) and your name will go into a draw. If you win, I'll build the pedal for you and you can even choose a few custom features! 1166
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 03/10/2023This was the original wiring, though I've now changed the resistor to dim the LED a bit, and I wired the power socket backwards for a guitar pedal as they're usually centre negative so I've now fixed that. I might actually put it on my pedalboard soon. 😁 030
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 01/10/2023A couple of weeks ago I built a guitar pedal called "The Nothing" because when plugged in and turned on... it does nothing. This might be relevant tomorrow... 2110
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 20/09/2023Jimmy came round today to lay down his bass part and harmony vocal for my song Timeflies! that'll be on album #2. After that we had a dig through the archives and found some songs from twenty years ago or longer that we reckon are worth some consideration. Productive day! 082
Storm of Crows @stormofcrows.bsky.social · 12/09/2023This is Jack. Jack is a drummer. But Jack isn't any old drummer, oh no. Jack is OUR drummer. That's right. Storm of Crows has a drummer. Repeat, Storm of Crows...HAS A DRUMMER! 2122
