New Album "Bring It On" Out in 3 days!
Yes, its finally time boys and girls! Our CD Bring It On will be out on Saturday 27th June. All 10 tracks are now mixed, we are just awaiting the delivery of the CDs and the artwork!
To coincide with the release, we are gigging that night at the Salutation Inn in Nottingham. To coincide even more, this happens to be their 3rd annual Pirate Night event (which is nice!) so it all seems rather timely! So it'll be a great chance to get wrecked and get rocked! (And dress like a pirate too.)
For those of you who can't get to the gig but want a copy of the CD, it will be available to order online from Saturday. We'll also be adding the new tracks to the player as soon as the CD is done!
See y'all soon ...

Waxing lyrical about content
With the release of Skeleton Crew's first album "Bring It On" less than a fortnight away, Graham shared some band insights recently on the hidden depths - or lack thereof - of the songs on the record:
ALL OR NOTHING
Some days in the Langar scout hut , where we used to practice, were pretty special. On this particular day we had nothing planned or even ready to start on. Rob wasn't around that day and the rest of us just hit on an idea whilst jamming that felt great and the song practically wrote itself in a very short time. Chris was fairly active and single back then (see Bring It On!) and he quickly penned the lyrics about his...erm...lifestyle. One of the few to be written by us whilst we were an actual functioning band and it pretty much ... became our mission statement-both musically and lyrically.
IF THIS IS IT
One of the songs that Chris opened our song writing sessions with long before the band remotely existed. Chris wrote most of the song on an acoustic guitar and the stabs in the music are a deliberate exaggeration of his playing style. He'd just gone through a particularly painful break up and this song was his goodbye note. Chris and I didnt want this song to be a true ballad however, and we had trouble turning it into a rock song. Eventually we found the right balance after what seemed like months of constant re-writes. One of the best vocal hooks we have!
MY LIFE MY RULES
Another of the original session songs. Chris was fairly p****d about how everyone was telling him what he should be doing differently. The original riffs were very Cult-esque but they gradually evolved once the band actually started playing the song (in fact only the original chord progressions remain the same now) The mad drums in the middle were originally my idea that became a drummer oneupmanship exercise as the time passed and drummers came and went. That is until Drew came along and finally made sense of the chaos!
HOW COME I'M NEVER AROUND
When Rob origially wrote the song he had the music plus the 1st and 3rd lines of the chorus. I fell in love with the song the instant I heard the demo. Its about manipulative exes - I had particular fun writing the lyrics for this one (especially the 2nd verse!!)
The obvious first single the second it was finished How Come was recorded long before it was ever played live and was also the last song to be written for the album.btw: See if you can hear the moment that i fell over whilst soloing (i had a torn LCL in my knee) and carried on-it IS on the record. oh, how the others did laugh!
I KNOW YOUR NAME
i originally wrote the music for this extremely late one night whilst Rob and i were still in KickBack. i love the slower heavier feel to the song and i re wrote the lyrics when Skeleton Crew was formed. Written a few years after the fact the song represents the total anger and upset that , rightly or wrongly, I felt about the people and actions I perceived to be responsible for the untimely death of one of my closest friends...and is my personal message to "them".The idea for the incredible intro drums were one of Drews first contributions to the band shortly after he joined us. One of the few songs we currently have that give Rob a chance to play with his organ ;)
BRING IT ON
About a year into the songwriting sessions Chris and I actually had a praticing version of the band. Our good friend Tony Garrett , who actually gave Skeleton Crew it's name, was helping out on drums and he'd brought Steve into the fold. Rob joined us on occasions and there seemed to be a light at the end of the tunnel. This was when the song Bring It On was written and it's a raise your fist (steady now!) salute to the "values" of 80's rock. Chris actually wrote the lyrics based on his typical saturday nights out in Nottingham...or what he can remember of them. It became our early rally cry and was the obvious title for the album itself from day one
TEMPTING FATE
I think I was listening to alot of early Crue at the time and the main riff seems to confirm this!! I also wanted to put a huge harmonised solo into a song and this was the perfect opportunity. The song is about people's total slavery to whatever it says in their daily horrorscope. Unfortunately i know many like this and i wanted to have a little fun at their expense (btw I do have 3 kids and a red car that i suppose was probably nice a decade or so ago!) The hamonised chorus has given us all a sleepless night or two as we figure out what each of us should sing and where but we're finally happy with it now...aren't we guys!...guys?
DRIVING ME CRAZY
The first song written by us after Drew joined the band and, like All Or Nothing, was the result of a good night down the "hut" (but this time Rob was around-he wrote the chorus) It started out as a fairly heavy angry riff of mine that everyone jumped on. Before long it was done. It's a fave to play for all the band but I myself have never made total sense of the lyrics...but i think that's the point!
SOUL
i remember Rob having a few riffs that i thought were in the wrong order and once jigged around a little became the basis for the music in Soul. Hailing from the time when Tony was drumming it was pretty much Rob's baby apart from the odd bit of musical sticking tape by me. It's a very thoughtful song that people always love when they first hear it but love more once they know the lyrics. The out solo is a little homage to Bang Tango, a band that we all saw many times at Nottingham's Rock-City in the 90's. A song that truly shows off the entire bands singing ability it also happens to be the song we usually song check with as it has a little bit of everything.
WORLD TURNS UPSIDE DOWN
By most standards I'd been through a pretty rough time in almost every aspect of my life and once everything had eventually settled down i was delighted to find out that i had come out relatively okay and had only gone slightly mad. The song is very "up" , almost punky in feel and represents the "NA NA NANA NA - CANT CATCH ME!" attitude that I had developed. This song was the first complete song that i wrote for Skeleton Crew. if you notice, the key for the first chorus' are different to the ones at the end. World is the perfect song to end the album with a bang! Read more!

Soul - Lyrics
This foolish heart once fell from grace to dust
To lay unwanted at your feet
It took a little time to heal the scars you gave to me back then
No other wound has run so deep
To lay unwanted at your feet
It took a little time to heal the scars you gave to me back then
No other wound has run so deep
Feeling like a stranger
Standing on the outside looking in
You took my soul, yeah
And left me with the memory
You took my dreams
Stripped me to the bone
You fed my fears, yeah
Crucified my weakness
Laid me down in my soul to drown
In tears and all alone
If you had held my hand you'd have saved my soul
But you twist the knife 'til I feel it slipping all away
A brush of memories makes me wonder
Can we relight the flame, but there's no going back, never going back
Trying to find the answer
Losing all the pieces one by one
Falling comes so easy Read more!
My Life, My Rules - lyrics
I don't care what people say
No one ever listens to me anyway
The man you knew has gone away
Gone away, gone away now
No one ever listens to me anyway
The man you knew has gone away
Gone away, gone away now
Sometimes you forget just who I am
What I was, my life and all my plans
Always known what I could have been
It's my dream, it's my dream now
I always knew my life was wrong
Its like I'm dancing to the same damn song
My life, my rules
Life's a game but I always lose
I've always been on my own
It's the only life I've ever known
You know my heart has turned to stone
I'm alone, I'm alone now
Don't want to be part of a crowd
Individual thought is not allowed
I'm the one that turns around
Stand my ground, stand my ground now
The things you wanted I could never be
The thing I hated you turned out to be
What I wanted you could never give
What I wanted was a reason,
A reason to live
Read more!
All Or Nothing - lyrics
I'm heading off to the city, those neon lights are my guiding star
Who'd have thought that i'd find you the girl of my dreams walking in this bar
Thought i'd loved you forever, kinda strange cos i'd never met you before
You're like something from heaven you're a wish upon a star
Never ever been a sucker for a pretty face
Never went out of my way for a flash of lace
But if I dont act now, I dont know how I'll ever see you again
So, is this my lucky day, here I go, time to make my play
Take a chance , take a risk I cant resist
This could be the start of something
Get a taste of your lips this is something i've missed
Gonna go for it all or nothing
You, were a vision that night and i thought i might stand a chance
Of getting next to you, what's a boy supposed to do
When his venus is really made of stone
You are on the dance floor, the room watches you
Everyone wants you but i want you more
You have the power, I'm hypnotised
You take my hand yeah I win the prize Read more!
Who'd have thought that i'd find you the girl of my dreams walking in this bar

World Turns Upside Down - lyrics
I thought my life was going right
I thought my life was going well
And then the day turned into night
And then my life turned into hell
It got me thinking 'bout the
Who, what, why, when
I did not know anything
So what on earth do I do?
I did the
Up, down, left, right
Tunnel never had a light
I need to find something new
I thought my life was going well
And then the day turned into night
And then my life turned into hell
It got me thinking 'bout the
Who, what, why, when
I did not know anything
So what on earth do I do?
I did the
Up, down, left, right
Tunnel never had a light
I need to find something new
No point, in dwelling on the past
No point, I knew it'd never last
No point, in going nowhere fast
Not me, not now, not ever
When the world turns upside down
When the world turns upside down
You'd better stand on your head
It's like they put you in a box
And you get a little shake
Then they mess up all you've got
And give you all that you can take
I never needed all the
Lying, cheating, stealing, dealing
Or yet another mistake
'Cos with the
One, two, three, four
Never needed anymore
I'll show you what we can make
This time, I've landed on my feet
This time, I'll never miss a beat
This time, I know I'll take the heat
This time I know it's better
Tempting Fate - lyrics
So take a look into the sky
And I will find the reason why
And I will find the reason why
And so you need to warn us
'bout that dark haired Taurus
And that Mars is aligned with Venus
But if I need some luck
Well then the dusty old book
Is the key to being rich and famous
So look into the crystal ball and see the future
You think you've always known the way but then are you sure?
'Cos there's only one way I can go, and now I know, that it's not too
late
Another day of tempting fate
And if my life is getting hard
Then I should read the tarot cards
So with that pair of threes
I'm in it up to my knees
And that queen is still making me nervous
But with that upside down nine
My life will be just fine
As long as I'm not superstitious
So look into the crystal ball and see the future
You think you've always known the way but then are you sure?
'Cos there's only one way I can go, and now I know, that it's not too
late
Another day of tempting fate
So change my job, but keep the band
Its all been written on my hand
I'll have three kids, a nice red car
My dream girl works behind a bar
So all join hands and dim the lights
We hear the voices in the night
But if I think I still need more
The mystic runes know what's in store
Read more!
If This Is It - lyrics
It seems there's nothing left
Only the fighting stops when the lights go out
When the lights go out
In a fevered sleep I dream
Of all the things that should have been
And will never be, again
Only the fighting stops when the lights go out
When the lights go out
In a fevered sleep I dream
Of all the things that should have been
And will never be, again
Some call it trust, I call it lies
Some say its forever, but everything dies
If this is it, why do I feel this way?
Cant believe there's nothing that I can say
To change your mind, give it one more try
There's gotta be more than just goodbye. Just goodbye
Turned inside out, emotionally drained
Even your friends can't get you through the pain,
Get you through the pain
An altered state fucks with your mind
I wanna leave this world behind
Cos I've tried for the hundredth time
You call it trust, I call it lies
You said it was forever, I say everything dies
Chorus
I see your suitcase by door
You aint coming home no more
Such a pity, such a waste
It all leaves such a bitter taste

I Know Your Name - lyrics
Do you believe in angels? they put right what was wrong
They help you when you need it most and teach you to be strong
Well, once upon a time I had one of my own
But thanks to you, my angel flew left me alone…again
I know your name
You try to play the innocent you comfort those who cry
You act like the big brother but its all been one big lie
My angel tried to reach me she thought no one could hear
But then one day, she found a way and whispered in my ear
I know your name
I can’t touch you, I’ll never play that game
I can’t look you in the eye but now
I can’t trust you, I don’t like you, I know your name
I can’t look you in the eye but now, I know your name
Cos I know the truth that no-one else understands
The lives you destroyed with just the wave of your hand
Everyone searches needing someone to blame
But now that they’re asking, I tell em I know your name
So now you must know that one day our paths will cross
And I will make sure you learn all about loss
And then the whole world will finally know your shame
Cos my beautiful angel came through, told me your name
Keep looking behind you, cos now I’m gonna find you Read more!
They help you when you need it most and teach you to be strong

How Come I'm Never Around lyrics
Isn't she pretty, isn't she just adorable
And so another one falls under... her spell
Isn't she funny, isn't she just so wonderful
And dont we all get on ...so well
If only they knew her, if only they knew the other side
If only they could see through my eyes
I know the fantasy, is stronger than reality
But who could have seen through that disguise
You're turning my friends, its all a pretence
You're making a heel out of me
How come i'm never around when you're happy
How come you're never as sweet when you're at home
How come i'm never around when you're laughing
How come you're never seen to be
The little bitch who's mean to me
So you see my little problem, how do i even out the score
Do I tell them you're a flat chested, fake tanned, drug snorting, paper eating, two faced, no class, gold digging, dirty little whore
That would be hard to ignore
I'm drawing the line, its your place not mine
I'm losing control of my life Read more!
And so another one falls under... her spell
Isn't she funny, isn't she just so wonderful

But who could have seen through that disguise
You're turning my friends, its all a pretence
You're making a heel out of me
How come i'm never around when you're happy
How come you're never as sweet when you're at home
How come i'm never around when you're laughing
How come you're never seen to be

Driving Me Crazy lyrics
When she entered my life, she altered my world
Like a whole new fashion started
The things that she said, rang rings round my head
Trying to figure out the whole equation
But I'm lost when she's not with me
Wait for hours until you're with me
She gives me just a little, always leaves me begging for more
She's like nothing before, a double edged sword
She's a mystery beyond all reason
And the things that she says, still run rings round my head
Im trying to figure out the whole sensation
I need the courage so I can break free
Have the guts to say what I need
i'm getting just a little, always leaves me waiting for more
I've seen something about you now
You're driving me crazy
There are faces you never show
And the places you take me
Many sides and many lies
Too much to set aside my pride
It's just a matter of time, as my mind unwinds but I love her
And we're all going to hell cos i sold her myself
To have her in my own damnation
But i'm lost lost when you're not with me
Count the hours until youre with me
She gives me just a little, God doesn't settle the scores
Hook, line and sinker, its my heart that's on the line
My mind is spinning and she's the reason for my demise Read more!

Bring It On lyrics
I got a feeling in my bones; I think I’m going out tonight
No use holding me back-I’ll tear up everything in site
I need a release
I’m like a dirty dog on a leash
Gonna chew free, I’m heading for the city tonight
You’ll see me coming baby
You’ll hear me howling baby
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on tonight
Turn me on
Turn me on
Turn me on
Turn me own tonight
So where to begin?
Throw out the net; I’ll haul your ass in
If that fails, I’m cruising like a shark near the shore
I’m circling around
I’m getting close; I don’t make a sound
I got you in my sights; I know that you’re mine
Look me in the eye baby
Give me a sign baby Read more!
No use holding me back-I’ll tear up everything in site
I need a release
I’m like a dirty dog on a leash
Gonna chew free, I’m heading for the city tonight
You’ll see me coming baby
You’ll hear me howling baby
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on tonight
Turn me on
Turn me on
Turn me on
Turn me own tonight
So where to begin?
Throw out the net; I’ll haul your ass in
If that fails, I’m cruising like a shark near the shore
I’m circling around
I’m getting close; I don’t make a sound

RSS / Podcasts
RSS and podcasts are the best way to have the news from Skeleton Crew delivered directly to you - news, pictures, tourdates, bizarreness, videos and even new songs!
What is RSS?
RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a way of keeping track of new content from some of your favorite sites, without having to keep checking back manually to see if any new items have been posted. You can subscribe to sites, such as this one, and receive updates as soon as they are posted, via an RSS reader of your choice. Most email applications now offer support for RSS feeds, or you can use a dedicated feed reader application. A good place to start if you are new to this is to use the google reader. The RSS feed for this site can be found at http://feeds2.feedburner.com/screwit. If you go to this address you'll also see a helpful list of feed readers!
What is a Podcast and how do I subscribe?
Our podcast episodes are the best way to get to see Skeleton Crew's new videos, songs and other fun! A podcast is a rich media file, such as an audio or video file that you can subscribe to in order to receive new "installments" when they are published. You can subscribe to podcasts through Apple's iTunes application or other podcast "catcher" applications. A good roundup of these ican be found at http://www.podcatchermatrix.org. Many radio stations and magazines syndicate their shows, and the advantage is that you don't have to keep checking back to catch a new episode; your podcast application will alert you when a new installment appears and allow you to download and consume at your leisure. You can subscribe to the podcasts from this site at http://feeds2.feedburner.com/screwit - there is a direct link there that will prompt iTunes (if you use it!) to subscribe to our feed, or you can download a podcatcher application of your choice and add the link http://feeds2.feedburner.com/screwit to its feeds.
Enjoy!
