A fairly standard punk track from the early days of Me And My Mates. Written circa 1998 or there abouts, has received a bit of updating and messing about over the years to allow it to remain interesting. As was the spirit of the early Me And My Mates there were no written lyrics for this song and Al generally freestyled everything. Due to beginning the recording process for a small 3 track demo (that this version was intended for) it became apparent we would need lyrics for the songs to make them sound like songs.
They Stamped On My Hands drum tracks were recorded in June 2010, at Audiozone in Wakefield (thanks Clink), the guitar, bass and vocals were recorded, re-recorded and generally messed about with over the next 2 years as we learned what we were doing with the recording process. During this time we decided that we would record more songs and try to make an album on our own, which has become a real labour of love! Parts of this song were recorded in Neil's living room, Al's bedroom and eventually at the studio Neil built to cope with how out of hand this process had become!!
