Post Description

Do Not Bend is the third solo album by British pop musician and songwriter Eric Stewart, a founding member of 10cc. Released in 2003, it did not chart in the UK or US.

The album was recorded over five years at Stewart's Templar Studios in France, with final sessions for the female backing vocals done at David Gilmour's Astoria Studios in London. Stewart plays all the instruments himself although he is assisted with the backing vocals. Stewart would use the same approach for Viva la Difference with the exception of hiring drummer Alain Merlingeas for the recording.

Stewart has said the album's title was inspired by a label posted on a package being mailed by his son Jody. Stewart also wrote a song using the same title that was released on his next solo album 'Viva la Difference'
