Track Three from the MG EP ... early demos had lots of spanish-sounding acoustic guitar, which didn't make it onto this version. A real Pearl drumkit is played here by Mr.Darren O'Neill, across the mists of time ...
Track two from the new EP - originally a Cormac tune called 'Cigarette', it's a song which has been trying to get out for some time now. This particular version has a slightly Gothic feel, the vocal arrangement and instrumentation are based mainly on live jams in The Shed with Karen & Darren.
Track One from the new MacroGrizzly EP - this is the 'Horny' version, and also the shortest song we've released to date.

A blast from the recent past - the first Grizzly single Roam - played on acoustic instruments by the half of the band who weren't swanning around in Mauritius or Graiguecullen that night.
Lavender Teacup (according to Steve "a song about drinking tea and listening to Tchaikovsky"), and Demon Down (a song about The Gods) - played on acoustic instruments by the half of the band who weren't swanning around in Mauritius or Graiguecullen that night.
The old Grizzly classic ballad/waltz-type thingy Favourite Stew, and an unusual cover of the Cars song Drive (© Ric Ocasek) - played on acoustic instruments by the half of the band who weren't swanning around in Mauritius or Graiguecullen that night.
