And here’s to a better year next year! Well nothing ever goes to plan, so we didn’t manage to book in the gigs we were hoping to for the end of the year; the knock on effect is that we’re going to focus on the new album rather than promote the last one, which is already nearly 2 years old. …
…an update! So it’s now a year and a half since we released “When the Dust Just Won’t Settle”, and even though we got some great reviews, we never got a chance to go out and play the songs live or even go to the studio. Cheers Covid. Unfortunately the pandemic wasn’t the only reason – we had some line-up …
Three months since When The Dust Just Won’t Settle was released, so probably the time for a catch up on the critical responses and the interviews we’ve done. If they do the job and pique your interest, there are still copies of the ltd edition album via our Bandcamp site, or if you’re in the USA at KoolKat. Reviews: “… …
Here it is, released today, 1st May – “When The Dust Just Won’t Settle” our new album. 12 of the best songs we’ve ever recorded, and we couldn’t be happier with them. Coincidentally, Bandcamp are waiving their fees today to support independent artists like us, so it’s the perfect time to buy the new CD, or download the songs, buy …
So this evening at 8pm BST we’re having our online album launch / Listening party. You can join us via: Facebook Twitter or if you’d just like to listen to the new album in peace, without us wittering, they’ll be on Soundcloud – with each song being released publicly every 5 minutes. You can also pre-order the album via Bandcamp …
With weeks to go til the album is officially released, we just got our second album review – this time from the well established and highly respected “Here Comes The Flood” music blog. In summary the review says that ‘When the Dust Just Won’t Settle’ is “An album in the classic sense…” – but you can read the full thing …
So we find ourselves in strange, interesting and frankly scary times. In the scheme of things another album released by some unknown indie band is a minuscule footnote in the War and Peace of current events – but to us, getting people to hear the songs we’ve worked so hard crafting, learning, recording, mixing, producing and releasing is hugely important. Hopefully these songs …

We’ll be giving some sneak previews of the songs over the coming weeks, so make sure to follow on Facebook / Twitter etc. to hear them hot off the …
This year has been a transitional period: Rob has been putting in crazy hours creating a new studio from scratch (with friend Alex – the picture only shows a tiny part of the complex!) and all the hard work has paid off as it’s now ready to go. The songs we recorded over the last couple of years are being …
We’re late with all the wishing of good tidings as we always are with everything; I’m sure none of you are surprised if you’ve been waiting for a news update or sight of the next album. The album is basically recorded. Lots of it is mixed. The rest will be done when we have a new studio, which shouldn’t be …
Despite the lack of social media evidence, we’re still very much getting on with things here at Wilberforce towers. That’s not to say we haven’t had hurdles to, erm, hurdle. The wonderful Factory St Studios in Bradford, where Rob had had his own mini studio, unfortunately had to close, which was a huge shame for the management and staff and …
And what have we done? Quite a bit actually; recently we’ve been recording new songs for a new album that is coming along a bit quicker than the last couple – we’ve got 12 new songs written and demoed. This is mainly due to me finally getting a proper band together with Max on bass guitar, Rob on guitar (and …
While we’ve been quiet on the social media front for a bit, we’ve actually been doing things in the real world: We’ve got two upcoming gigs in Leeds and Manchester to formally announce on Sunday 12th November at Gullivers, Manchester – A night of music in aid of Just Talk About It, a charity aimed at supporting young people and …
Some great gig news to share – we’ve been invited to play Kirkstall Festival this year – Saturday 8th July! It’s probably the closest festival to where we live, right next to the river Aire, by the the 12th century Kirkstall Abbey and we’re really excited to have been asked! As always it’s free to enter (although we recommend buying …
