Moments of driving guitar, moments of intricate rhythm, intelligent songs with a twist.
It's been a long time, but keep an eye open for 6 new tracks coming soon! And so, on with the blurb... Raised in the musical school of hard knocks that is the Newcastle upon Tyne “gig scene”, Columbus Dixon’s characteristic driving guitar sound works around an intricate, yet massive-sounding rhythm section. Musically, edgy and powerful, the songs are based on a strong, melodic approach. Lyrically insightful, fiercely independant, Columbus Dixon are an alternative to the current British fixation with mindless, shrink-wrapped, pre-packed, McPop cover merchants and whiney Nu-Angst pretenders. Live, Columbus Dixon are an intriguing and captivating experience, who pull no punches with a potent yet amiable presence. We don’t claim to be the saviours of the universe but we could save you from the Top 40. We make the music we like, and we do it well. We are a bunch of nice blokes, but we are good, though. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we are good. Is it sinking in? Good blokes, good music.

Lyrics
Sorry little Lap Dog Sleeping with the lights on Scared of all your problems Shut your mouth, leave this to me Lying through my back teeth Laughing at the outcome Livid when it goes wrong All the options easy to see Nothing goes on in here I've washed out every trace of guilt Conscience, everything That might just prove a risk some day That might just prove a risk some day Ready with a theory Working through the dry run Get a proper job done This time, we’re playing for keeps Running at dead ends Sucking in daylight Grasping for the edges Shut your mouth, leave this to me Nothing goes on in here I've washed out every trace of guilt Conscience, everything That might just prove a risk some day That might just prove a risk some day I have no plastic Jesus blessings for the things we said My words are rags and useless dressings for the wounds inside your head I hold the shards of how I’m doing in the fingers of one hand It’s the common bonds that we are losing, that’s why you don’t understand Why everything is falling away Everything is falling away These trees that stand like crosses show me where your dreams died young The only road you choose to follow leads you to where I begun To show you how the scene unfolds, much of this you might now know So leave it all behind and let it go Leave it all behind and let it go I only beg your silence please I only beg your silence please I only beg your silence please I only beg your silence.
