In what must be the most productive period ever in the history of the band (well entirely Rob’s hard work, to be fair), we now have a brand spanking new website as an early Christmas present. Not only are we finally in the 21st century, website wise, the new album is finally mastered and sounding, with all due modesty, fantastic; …
New Single “Holding On” and gigs

Radio friendly but not hip…
…from a nice 7/10 review from Whisperin and Hollerin blog. Apparently the reviewer thinks I’d be happier writing for 80’s audiences. Not sure if he means audiences in their eighties. He’s probably right either way.

You Can’t Have Me
Time for video number 3: levelling with you, probably my fourth favourite video of the four, but I do like the song, especially the insane piano skills of Mr Ric Neale. Will a jigsaw keep your interest while listening? I don’t know. Cut me some slack, I’ve got a miniscule budget here!! If you like it though, tell people. Comment. You …
Distance EP released in October
So finally, the Distance EP will be available to download on Oct 20th 2014 from Bandcamp.

The track listing is: …
Aardman animators watch your backs
Well I’ve had a productive weekend – just finished a (very basic) stop motion video for one of the songs on the new E.P.
