ALSO - we now have new T shirts in. Available in all sizes and lots of colours (black, blue, red, green and grey), they cost £8 and feature a print of the inner artwork from the album...... a surreal representation of many of the lyrics from the album. Man. Pick one up at a show, or drop us an email to order one (P&P charges apply).

CD Launch Party a Sell Out Success!

2008-09-12T12:57:00.002+01:00

Hi, We just wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone that made the effort to come down to our launch party on the 5th September. We totally sold out on the night and there was a great atmosphere. 'This Is My Honesty' and 'Lonely The Brave' were awesome and won plenty of new fans themselves i'm sure, and Sam 'Mad Dog' Russo did a great job warming everyone up ready for our turn on stage.
We really enjoyed ourselves - the sound was spot on (thanks Matt), the crowd were so supportive (thanks you lot) and the songs felt great (well, that'll be us i guess!).

We've had a great reception to the new album so far - just check out the press section for some very positive reviews!

If you weren't lucky enough to get in on the night, we've got plenty of new t-shirts available and the album is available for pre-order now from Play and HMV.

We're out playing a lot this month, so see the rest of you at a show soon!
