For our debut EP launch we are only pressing 100 copies. And they are all UNIQUE! 40 will be WHITE LABEL versions with handwritten “set list” style graphics. The other 40 will be DELUXE SIGNED editions with the graphics in these photos. There will also be 20 MEMORY STICKS available with the EP songs as well as exclusive live performances and photos. And all 3 items will be sold on a PAY WHAT YOU WANT basis, with recommended prices.
In true DIY ROCK N ROLL fashion - the EP will stay analogue - it will NOT be on Spotify - that means 2 of our recordings are ONLY available at our gigs to purchase from the merch stand! And when they sell out, maybe we will think about releasing the songs online! See you on 19 March!

HELLO! I’m playing a gig on 20th Feb at Aatma Manchester at the @wormgruntingmag launch party - my set will be at 20:30 :)

First go at a new song I wrote on the piano. Had a bunch of assignments in and had to pull a couple of all nighters so I’m probably going a bit crazy.
I tried taking myself out of my usual songwriting comfort zone and trying something very different to my normal style 😅
Also can I take a moment to mention how much I hate AI! I purposely wanted some vocal imperfections left in the video because it’s important we all remember to remain human as AI increasingly threatens our creative autonomy and our individual identity. Stay creative. The world needs creativity more than ever. P.S Remember to turn off meta AI’s access to your original audio!
I hope to get some new singles of typical Charley Westing crazy guitar music out soon! I’m working on a new album - the songs are written they just need some good recording :)
This is charley over and out 😼

Here’s my top 15 albums of 2025 - Happy new year and may 2026 bring lots more brilliant music!
2025 has been a great year for music if you dug a little deeper and has also been the year I released my debut album ‘Split the Scene’ - so there’s that too!
Here’s 5 honourable mentions that didn’t make the cut:
1. Panic Shack - Panic Shack
2. Getting Killed - Geese
3. From the private collection of Saba and no ID - Saba and No ID
4. Altogether Stranger - Lael Neale
5. Pirouette - Model/Actriz
P.S I did some more recording today ;) - things are in the works for 2026!
This is Charley Westing over and out!
Hello Spider-lovin’-spider-lovers! We played at traders in Marple a few days ago for the grand opening of their new ‘sideroom’ venue. What a great space full of creatives with a real sense of community. We had a great crowd and hope to be back soon!
Adam played absolutely insane drums that night and enlightened Charley on some football knowledge!
Charley felt very ill but had never been to Marple and found it quite nice :)
And Freddie played some tasty licks and did some vocal exercises (made weird noises) on the way there.
See you at habitat (if you can make it) - cancel any plans you have on the 12th December!
The tickets are flying out so go grab them in our bio!
¡Adios!
