  • 11/DECEMBER/08 - Kerrang! Best Unsigned Band Award Results

    Hey guys!

    It was brought to our attention today that we came in 5th in the Best Unsigned Band category at the Kerrang! Readers Poll Awards.

    To see the pic click this link! http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...
    Thanks to Christy for getting this picture for us!

    There's a few things that makes this amazing.

    First off, the fact that in all the unsigned bands in the whole of the UK you guys voted to get us in there.

    Secondly, the fact we didn't push for a campaign to vote for us, you guys took initiative and voted and promoted this yourselves. This came as news to us as we didn't expect to even get a mention so thanks so much.

    And lastly, it's always been a dream of ours to get a mention in Kerrang. As small as the mention is it's an awesome thing for us so thanks so much!

    This has siked us up for the last shows ... spread the word and see you guys there, make sure to drag all your friends and family down to the shows, they're going to be amazing!

    Merry Xmas everybody and have a Gnarly New Year

    Peace out,

    -SC

  • 27/NOVEMBER/08 - VIDEO - Final Shows & Stuff

    Hey guys!

    Just to let you guys know we are busy getting our last shows confirmed and sorting out the supporting line-up. These are going to be really special shows and they'll be announced hopefully in the next few days.

    Also, to clear a few things up, there have been a bajillion stories and rumours going around and as much as people would love them to be true (everyone loves a bit of gossip and drama it seems!) here it is from the horse's mouth: we have just called it a day on good terms. Everyone's doing their own thing now as SC just ran it's course.

    We're different people than we were when we were 14/15/16 years old and as SC was becoming more and more of an inpending full time committment we all started to prioritise certain things in our lives as we were going to have to make sacrifices if we were to take it any further. It didn't make sense to continue on as SC considering everyone's personal situations at this time.

    We'll make sure to keep in touch with everything we're doing after the final shows so keep checking back to see what each of us are up to as we'll update the SC page if there's anything you guys need to know!

    For now though to tie you over until we announce the shows, check out our flashbox for a live video of 'Lunch Money' taken from the Blastbeat Finals in January '08.

    ENJOY!

    peace,

    -SC

  • 09/NOVEMBER/08 - Final Blog

    Hey everybody.

    There's been some buzz about this and a lot of people have been asking a lot of questions so, hopefully, this blog will clear some things up and keep everyone in the know as to what has been going on.

    As a band we've decided to split up. We've been thinking about it a lot recently and it seems to be the right thing to do. Steer Clear has been the most fun times we've ever had as people and musicians and we wouldn't change anything that happened for the world.

    Basically we always had the attitude that the band should be fun and the second it stopped being fun is the second we stop playing. We want to leave the band in a place in our hearts and memories as something we enjoyed, something we loved doing and something that we learnt from and grew up with.

    We have achieved more than we ever dreamt of as a band. We got signed, recorded an album, charted a single, shared stages with our heroes, played our own sold out shows to people who like our band, had awesome shows and awesome after parties, got to play in mainland UK, got to play in America, shot a music video, got played on radio and TV, recorded a live radio 1 session and got to meet loads of new people we never would have through touring and playing shows.

    We have the most amazing fans, we've always said that. People that take their own time to go out on the street and spread the word, help out promoting shows and just the general vibing they do to spread the word. People that were into our band were really into our band and we hope that they enjoyed the music as much we loved making it.

    We want to thank anyone who's ever helped us out in any way be that going out and sticking our flyers all over phone boxes and getting people to shows or even sending your friend a link saying 'HEY! Check this band out!'. As cheesy as it sounds and every band says it, but maybe the reason they say it is because it's true and the best way of putting it, but we literally wouldn't be anywhere without our fans and people who listened and supported the band. Without you guys we would have been playing to empty venues (and believe us we HAVE!) and that's no fun for anyone so thanks for coming out and partying hard.

    We're having 2 final shows, 1 in Belfast and 1 in Dublin which are our 2 bases as a band. Keep checking back for dates and we hope that anyone who's even heard of us or supported us in any way or at any time over the last 4 years will come out; we'd love to see you down there. It's gonna be a party, a celebration: it's not a funeral so let's not treat it like one. And right now we just need a break, we've been going a bajillion miles per hour and we all personally need time to concentrate on other things in our lives. So keep checking back to this page for any updates as to what we're up to personally and perhaps musically. Music runs through our veins, that's why we started this band so keep an ear to the ground!

    With regards to these 2 shows we're pleased to announce that Vinny will be back and playing them with us. "What about Ebbs?!" I hear you exclaim. Well Ebbs actually suggested it and the rest of us agreed. Vinny gave 3 and whatever years to Steer Clear and was the founding member back in 2004 with p0d. So it makes sense for him to come back to celebrate what we achieved as a band and the fun times that we had. We want to hang out at the show and talk to everyone as much as possible and hear what you guys think and we'll be playing a specially extended set and trying to fit in as many songs as possible too.

    So all that's left to do is say 'THANK YOU'. A big massive one all in capitals with a million exclamation marks afterwards. We'll get the new songs/and old ones up over the next while along with some old photos etc.

    You guys are fucking awesome.

    No Regrets.
