If the world was struck deaf in the morning and nobody could hear another song, many would say we probably needed a break anyway. But words/pictures/music is only a small part of what David Lydon offers. He writes from the frontline of experience, relaying stories of overcoming addiction, depression and other shit.
David Lydon has been writing and performing for over a decade. Originally sparked back to creative life by the emotional honesty of performers like Kurt Cobain and Tori Amos, he has since found and rediscovered some long standing influences, chief among them being unique and creative singers such as John Lennon, David Bowie and Leonard Cohen.
Although he initially released music on compilation albums and limited edition e.p's, "Hello Ugly Hello Friend" is David's first album, and contains some really honest and heartfelt songs written over a 12 year period. Some were recorded as long as 8 years ago and were brought in and remastered to be released here. It is very much an album about the personal journey and is sure to resonate with many who've come through or who may now be going through challenging times.
