"He was splayed across the floor, wasn't he, like a lover waiting for you to come to bed."
How did we, The Awkward Silence, go from supporting Westlife at the O2 to being too afraid to leave our homes, recording an improvised podcast as our only possible creative outlet? Here, we tell the whole sorry tale. The story is a sad one, and two words sum it succinctly: 'Lord' and 'Craven'.
