The Spiritual saved the tragic noise

Fought hard

Bruised bloody with jagged sigh

The music smiled

Launched the attack of love

The honest experiment

The fragile grinning demo

with rock and pop and glitter

the nbt eclectic summer.

Now hear this.

 No revolution

Played out

 With guns and money.

No Borders

No Boundaries

The tribes will tangle and dance

The flames will fumble then flicker then go

Mad happy moody and

hotInsane.

The truth is in the songs the tunes the words

The freedom of the independent

Here.

This is the world

 Where the winter Internal sleeps

With the summer Playful.

These are songs of Anger and Hope

Not afraid to show Desire

They welcome the darkness and forever flirt

with the light

between the verses.

Haunting the world. Taking control of the dangerous

Small hours when most of the world dreams.

The soundtrack to the candlelight ballet

The rhythm of the skin and the sigh

The shouts and the swirl and the crazy grin

Jumping under moonlight, the culture of rooftops

And winter.

These tunes

Haunt and prowl and

Free us

All.

The wonderfully eclectic NBT where the quiet confessions mix

 With the brash roar of the onstage monitor.

The deeply personal dances with exuberant showmen

 And we all have a great night out

Electronic..folk..rock n roll. Its all here.
