friday 28th may was the day we lost bingaloo 4ever.


for those who don't know, bingaloo was the van. the van that got me and the band to Download, 2000 Trees, Nova Twins, WARGASM, The Haunt, tiLLie. a van full of memories and a permanent fixture of the scum club. she will be missed more than i can say.


but i need to be honest with u guys, because u deserve that.
this year has been beyond hard. a record deal gone wrong. my mental and physical health taking a toll i wasn't ready for. hit after hit after hit. i have reached lows i never thought i'd see and the thought of quitting music has been front and centre of my mind more times than i'd like to admit. i have felt stagnant, lost, like i have only been letting u down.


my family, the scum club, my friends and fans have been the only thing keeping me going. the support i have received is more than i deserve and i am beyond grateful for every single one of u.


then, following one of the toughest weeks of my life, i wrote my car off in a crash.
the shock of that airbag hit me in the face and knocked some sense into me. all i want is to tour. to release music. to find myself again. when that airbag went off the only thing i could think was, i'm not done. i cannot be done.


the problem is real though. with the debts of the record deal, the cost of releasing music, and now no vehicle, i am at a crossroads. festival season has started and i cannot get to the festivals i have booked. i cannot get to the shows i promised u. as an independent musician, my own van has always been the only thing that made touring financially possible. without it i am genuinely terrified of having to turn down gigs, cancel shows, let u down again


i have been pouring everything into an EP this past year and i am so ready to share it with u. but right now, i just need to get to the shows. i just need to be with u guys.
if u can spare anything to help me replace bingaloo and get to these shows, i will be 4ever grateful. and if u can't, please just share. let's get there together.
