‘Just Let Me Talk to Her’ was the debut album by WSM released on Firebomb Radio Records in 2005.


John plays an e-bow on record for the first time and shouts about good old fashioned sexual frustration. S’posed to be a pop song.


Yes, there is a touch of ‘Honey Don’t’ in there.

John's favourite track from the album. Might also be about ideology.


I'm a little white lie. With my rosy tinted eyes.


Your employer is your friend.


John's guitar was supposed to sound like ‘I’m in Love with a German Film star’ by the Passions.


They fuck you up your Mum and Dad.


Make it your favourite Christmas song.


Killing your family while you’re all happy.


It was going to be re-mixed to sound like a big hypnotic purple wave.


Nicked from the sessions for John's 1st solo album. Bastards!
