Vocalist in Dead Retinas

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

So today the 3rd day of Bearscots we took a detour, me and @africabytotobear are massive Warframe fans and we were lucky to get tickets for Tenno VIP in Glasgow and hopped over and what can I say! @meverett_ @zachtothemcko @cavalorninsta and the rest of the team over at Digital Extremes @playwarframe provided us with goodies in game, free tee shirts, free food and a completely free open bar all 👏 freaking 👏 night so they can celebrate with their fans. Everyone was so friendly up for a good laugh with a couple of rowdy bears. This is how to run a gaming studio! It was an incredible experience! @rebbford your team is such a credit to you! Now remember what we talked about…….

Grendel protoframe please just make him just a hot chubby bearded daddy, who works with his pan sexual drag queen partner (new frame) who’s 4th is just a death drop that nukes a room and their two is just vogue poses with Viewtiful Joe sound effect writing on the casting. Base it on 1999 in Soho, tie it back to Arthur and we will buy that shit day one 😂😂😂

See you at Tennocon soon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ by @cjdeadret

BLINK. 🌎

This song came about when the news broke that more than 13km of Amazon rainforest was being cleared for a new highway in Belém — the city hosting COP30.

A road through the rainforest, in a city hosting the world’s biggest climate conference.

We’ve only got one Earth. And honestly, we don’t deserve it.

Blink drops this Saturday as part of our new EP GLOOM.

‘CANTILEVER’ explores a stark awakening upon discovering a once-trusted support network within a community, has in fact been gaslighting the whole time. These kind of revelations often mirror the feelings of suddenly trying to hold all your emotional weight, after relying for so long on others to share and support these burdens.

Cantilever will be released with Gloom EP 15.08.2026

OI, LISTEN. WE’VE CRAYONED IN A DATE FOR OUR LATEST AND PERHAPS GREATEST EP RELEASE. WE RECKON IT’S ALRIGHT, SOME LOVELY REVIEW GEEZERS HAVE ALSO AGREED THAT IT’S MARGINALLY PASSABLE AS ‘MUSIC’

Check out our single ‘F.A.O./COLLARBREAKER’ on all streaming things while you wait for the whole shabingles in August.

We love you,

Hullo?

Listen, we know we’ve been holding out on you for ages right, so nice one for bearing with us.

It’s been eight bloody years since we’ve released anything, and while we’ve shared the stage with so many incredible bands and artists over that period, it’s about pissin time we humbly share the product of our latest works with you.

Single: COLLARBREAKER

Decorating in the new house has begun. First is to change the box room back to a bed room (was an office with a weird fitted wardrobe but you couldn’t fit a bed in the space) got a plum carpet fitting on Thursday, so picked a muted lilac with a dark purple for the window frame. I believe the bed is white wood so should look pretty smart. So use to the white walls on the rented place I’m glad we can pick whatever we want. 💜💜 by @cjdeadret
