    Every song by every musician has a back 
        story of how it came to be.  "In His own Words" focuses on the 
        creation of every song Toby has released during his solo career.  
        Each week or two we'll feature another song.  This week Toby 
        discusses "Unwind" from Refresh EP.


        

    "Unwind" 


        

    "This
        track evolved out of a writing session Nick and I had at my place. I was
        determined to put the melancholia of ‘Ignorance’ behind me and
        return to my rock n roll roots. I had spent a lot of time revisiting my
        favourite albums: Blondie, the Pretenders, Reckless (Bryan Adams), AC/DC
        etc as well as being turned on by the current crop of US post punk pop
        bands like SUM 41, when we got the material into rehearsals, I went for
        the jugular and didn’t waste time on clever arrangements (which I had
        been guilty off as were the Angels to a lesser extent) the result was
        just as I had wanted: a guitar heavy pop rock tune that spoke of a
        broken heart, but with two fingers raised in defiance. I still love
        it…it began the journey back that continues to this day…"
