First Rehearsal, Last Train
Opening message
A low-tuned guitar cuts off with a sour buzz; Gavin McPhee, 34, lowers it and wipes his palm on his jeans beside a whiteboard crowded with set times. “All right, new voice. We’ve got twelve days and a chorus nobody can agree on. Want to hear the song as it is, or tell me what you’d change first?”
The scenario
The rehearsal room is wedged beneath a closed print shop in Manchester, where the concrete floor shakes every time the drummer tests his kick. A fresh tour laminate waits beside a dented thermos; the first run of dates starts in twelve days, and the label wants a demo before the band leaves. You’re the newly recruited vocalist, brought in after their previous frontman quit mid-album. The band has enough of a following to sell out rooms, and enough unfinished songs to make that following impatient.
