Their first album Alpha Bravo Audio is a journey through songs, voices, clips, sounds and unexpected mixes. Best listened to in one go, the album has the air of experiment to it, an exploration into their art. Special treats include LoseMySpitfire, played on Xfm and various venues in the UK.
Ghosts Appear is the second, more developed album. More experienced with the technical aspects of mashup making, the guys deliver an album with longer, more stand-alone tracks. Starting with a strong Garage/Dance vibe, with single 'The Fever' very popular in the southwest. The album then takes a discernable shift into the dark, with mixes of Chris Izaac and Joe Strummer; Gary Numam and Eminem; and Korn and Leftfield. Coming to a highly performative climax.
As live DJ's, they use laptop editing and performance software to provide pre-edited mixes along with requests from a 10,000 strong library of instantly available commercial tracks. All main genres covered, even the more obscure!
Blacksteel and Badger are Sam McCathie and Thomas Eames. Currently working in Winchester.
Day After Day
Blacksteel & Badger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We made a bike trail in the backyard, but that was eighth grade
I hope you don't forget all the time we spent
Beneath the evergreens, like a monument
I hope you keep in mind, though it's been a while
Trading Pokémon, talking, wasting worthless time
Blissful, unaware, everything must come to an end
In the end
I hope you love your life, and get good sleep at night
I hope your pets are doing well and your loved ones are alright
And now we meet again, I've no idea how it's been
And are you okay? I don't know if you're listening
And if you've had enough, over by the bluff
I'll walk you to the edge but I will not push you off
I hope you don't forget all the time we spent
I hope you keep in mind all the things we said
(I hope you keep in mind, what was)
The lyrics to Blacksteel & Badger's song Day After Day tell a story of nostalgia and looking back on special memories shared with an old friend. The first verse paints a picture of an unusual snow day in August during a heat wave. The two friends spent their eighth-grade years creating a bike trail in the backyard, which they reminisce about. The chorus highlights the hope that their friend remembers the time they spent together and the things they said to each other while hanging out beneath the evergreens. The nostalgia is further emphasized in the second verse as they recall carefree weekends spent enjoying sparklers and glow sticks, unaware of the fact that "everything must come to an end."
The bridge of the song expresses the desire for their friend to be happy and content in their life, with the hope that their loved ones and pets are doing well. The final chorus brings the lyrics full circle as they meet their friend again after a long time, uncertain of what has transpired in each other's lives. The final lines convey a willingness to be a support person for their friend if needed, and the hope that they continue to remember the time they spent together and the things they shared.

Alternative theory: keep putting the most aggressive muzzle devices on every gun you own, let people think guns are louder than they need to be and maybe we can get silencers legal and non-nfa? :D
Kash
This right here

That is big brain thinking right there lol.

I love your idea but non gun people wont notice its louder than it should be n the louder tge scarier. By congress's logic a pink my little pony machine gun is more dangerous than a 10/22
Estrada603
Or everyone who puts these comments on here took the time to leave a respectful comment to their local congress and the atf and maybe they would actually be removed

I definitly prefer perforated compensators like SLR's Synergy devices. Really tame recoil and good stabilization while dissipating the hot gas and noise a little better than a brake with big ports thay point toward the shooter.
Best on a rifle, but with SBR or pistol I would much rather go with a linear comp/blast can.

Frankly, I'm surprised that 3-prong SilencerCo ASR mount flash hider worked so well with such a short barrel!
I think that if you have that on the barrel, the logical path is to mount a suppressor, not any other kind of muzzle device.
BurstReview
Agreed. I was very surprised. I honestly put it on there expecting a huge fireball, not reduced report.

@BurstReview Same here. I have one on my 10" pistol for my Specwar 762, and it works very well on it's own without the can. Sure didn't think it would work as well on a smaller barrel.

But man is that can going to be dirty with all that unburned powder lol
