That being said, SGR ended up being not a little bit romance-oriented itself, and (IMO) was a lot closer to Bobbins tone-wise at the end of its run than it initially started out as. It's not impossible to see BM doing the same thing.

Isn't the change from Shelley & Co. to Jack & Co. a good enough shift in tone and subject matter? Two different worlds right there. From his website:
--- Quote ---Q. Will you be bringing back all my favourite characters from Scary Go Round?
A. Certain characters are just done and will never come back. One or two are part of the new comic, but not central to it. Others might cameo, but Bad Machinery is a different sort of comic about a different generation and I think if I begin to wheel out old familiar faces, it will be a sign that things are going wrong creatively.

See, I don't think that's reasonable of him to say BM would be going "wrong" if it turned into a continuation of SGR. The Bobbins/SGR characters are basically the ones he's spent his whole creative life with, so I don't think anyone could blame him if he keeps coming up with stories for them.
As far as the change from Shelly & Co. to Jack & Co... just remember SGR began with an explicit shift from Shelly & Co. to Rachel and Tessa & Co.

Silly John Allison, Women came out in 2008.

This is my least favorite time for the comic. It's nice you like music Mr. Allison, but I needs mah stories.
