  • The Quad and Cyprus Avenue

    As anyone that was there may have noticed, we didn't play the Quad with Heathers and Hooray For Humans tonight. We apologise if anyone was disappointed by this, but we were unable to play. We have also had to pull out of the Suede Halo ep launch tomorrow in Cyprus Avenue unfortunately. Again, our apologies to Suede Halo and anyone else.

    These two gigs were to be our last before a small break, in which we hope to write a lot, work out some kinks in our current set, and hopefully record. We'll hopefully be back gigging soon.

  • Belfast Calling Review

    We got a nice review off Belfast underground publication and ezine Belfast Calling. Sound!

    "First track, 'Pistols at Dawn, Sir' is a brilliant opening track as it's passionate, muscially and vocally, and is quite heavy but at the same time, if you listen carefully, you can hear snyths in the background which calm it down a little bit.There are some vocals which are verging on screamo near the end of the song, and this adds to the passion. Second track, 'Mentalied Matics' starts off slower but builds up and then dies down again at the end, reminding me of old school Lost Prophets. Next track, 'History Is Made At Night', reminds me of the alternative rock bands I would go to see play when I was fifteen and loved because they really cared about the music they were playing, and because all the riffs and rhythms fitted together perfectly,. Final track, 'The Beys' is again quite a strong track, with the addition of more vocals that are verging on screamo that grab your attention. There also seems to be some sort of hidden track at the end which has gorgeous melodies and soft vocals that don't take over the peaceful music. Overall, this is an epic EP, so you should definitely make sure to purchase a copy and check out The Avalanche Effect."

  • Whaz On mis-print and All-Ages gig

    Hi guys,
    Just noticed that Whaz On magazine have us down as playing The Quad this Friday, the 13th of March. This is a mis-print, as Snowman are playing that night. Ourselves, Heathers and Hooray for Humans are on the following Friday, the 20th. And it's an early start gig, with first band on at 9. On another note, we're playing Cyprus Avenue on the afternoon of Saturday the 21st March in support of the release of Suede Halo's EP. Do come. Haven't done an all-ages in a good while.

    Thanks,
    TAE
