The Following Months!!
Yo Guys
We will start with, We hope you all had a kickass festive period and Santa was good to you all!!!
Its been a rather busy festive period for us. We have recently started working alongside Indi Label Subscene Records who have really gave us a kick up the ass and a big shove in the right direction. Our music has recently recieved its first national airplay on radio
We have also recently been confirmed to play at The O2 Academy on February 20th as part of "The Next Big Thing Competition" and also been confirmed to play at The Biggest Charity Festival of the Year, "Oxjam" which will be the weekend of the 24th of Aug in Wales, so a lot to look foward to.
As well as these massive gigs on the run up to April, we will also have gigs in Ivory Blacks, and Capitol.
Apart from Gigs, We will also be making a Video in the coming months as well as uploading our back catalogue on I-tunes,Hmv online and other services, but in the next few weeks we will be returning to the studio to record and you may also shorly see us in The Sun newspaper!!!
All we can say at the mo is, Look out April, and the charts!!!
Keep on Rocking guys and thank you all for the support!!
