Our first show in ages. We'll be playing our party set which include exactly zero of our own tunes, but will feature loads of DIY "scene" guest vocalists. Sure to be completely ridiculous.</div>

we are super keen to play the <a href="http://arctangent.co.uk/" target="_blank">ArcTanGent</a> festival summer. if you think you'd like to see us there, maybe you could tell them by dropping a comment on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/atgfestival" target="_blank">facebook page</a>? sorry, i feel dirty for asking but, if peeps spam them about us, they are more likely to book us, or so they've said (smiley and/or winky face made out of punctuation).<br />

<a href="http://www.rocksound.tv/" target="_blank">Rocksound</a> did a review too, but i can't link cuz it's only available in paper form obvs. They said something along the lines of "nothing particularly wrong with this record, but then there's nothing particularly right about it either".

we are BACK from tour. we had such a rad time, saw so many beautiful faces. made lots of new friends as well as catching up with old ones. pure class. spesh biggups for jason, ricki, lucy, alex, andy, chris, rainey, death pedals, chris (h), alan, kev, seb, ian and soooo many more. much love. and also much love to anyone who came to shows and/or bought stuff. you GUYS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but now then, the fun ain't over yet. we have possibly our "biggest" ever show coming up at the lexington on september 6th as (main) support for derry post-hardcore legends JETPLANE LANDING. oh yeah. now i think the show sold out like well quick (obvs, after we were announced as being on the bill right?), but a little birdy tells me that they've released some more tickets and that, so <a href="http://www.ents24.com/london-events/the-lexington/jetplane-landing/3469121" target="_blank">GET ON IT</a>!</div>

new album seems to be going great guns, we've been getting a bunch of radio play, Tom Robinson, Steve Lamacq and Jen Long played us on BBC 6 Music and on BBC Radio 1! John Kennedy also gave us a spin on Xfm n'all. And I heard there might be even more on the way.<br />
<br />
got some sooound reviews too, including an 8/10 in Drowned in Sound (other nice words said by folk at Sloucher, Keep it Fast, and loads more) but there's a bunch more press to come. luckily we've only had one really bad review that called us "quasi-drivel", but meh, led zeppelin didn't write music that everyone liked.<br />
<br />
if you haven't got yr mitts on a copy of the new album you can get it in multiple ways, like from amazon and itunes and emusic and stuff. it's also on spotify and that. we recommend buying CDs direct from the distributor (cargo), but the tape version is only available through our bandcamp!<br />
<br />
our tour in august is pretty much booked too. just waiting on one venue in edinburgh. there've been a number of venue changes and even city changes, but we've managed to fill every date so it's aaaall good [EDIT - 12.08.13 no we haven't]<br />

this is cover of our new album! it's due to be released on on june 3rd by the most excellent <a href="http://www.weberecords.com/" target="_blank">We Be Records</a> (who also did our split with Death Pedals as well as tons of other rad stuff - check 'em out!). we'll be doing a launch show on May 4th at the Black Heart in Camden with some real good mates, where you'll be able to get advance copies of it. it'll be available on CD in a sexy digipack or on limited edition cassette tape, both with artwork designed lovingly by us. in fact there'll be an even more limited edition tape version too, with each one in a bespoke hand-crafted package. more details of that will follow.<br />
<br />
prior to that we've got a couple of videos in the works - both for songs off of the album. one is being made my Mark Ludgate at All Aboard Films, and the other by Mike Woodman of the prog-tastic Thumpermonkey with assitance from noted rad lads Ash Jones and Mat Croft.<br />
<br />
before all that though, we've got a couple of shows coming up in the coming weeks, one this saturday in Bristol, and a particularly awesome one recent BSM signings Axes at Birthdays in Dalston. check the listings up on the right there like.<br />
<br />
also, check out this snippet of a show we played back on an extremely sweaty day back in september, expertly put together by Fear of DIY.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">so here's a couple of pictures of the DP/MOM 7". it should b available very very shortly! in other news, we're re-pressing "buffalo!" as we've pretty much sold out, and we're also getting some tees done with a fresh design on them, as we've pretty much sold out of our last bunch of those n'all!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
so we've been back from tour for a couple of weeks. we had such an ace time, made lots of new friends, and met up with a lot of old ones too. so much love to everyone who came to see us, put us on or put us up - we are humbled by your amazingness. missing the ferry and our dublin show due to a massive traffic accident in north wales was a bit of a downer, but doing easy lover at a karaoke bar in holyhead with a gaggle of very welcoming locals went some way to making us feel better! anyways, i'll be putting together a tour video diary soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
while we were away, we got put on this <a href="http://weheartarts.bandcamp.com/album/hello-we-heart-arts-volume-1" target="_blank">download comp</a> by <a href="http://weheartarts.com/" target="_blank">we heart arts</a>. all profits go to ace causes. lasses and lads are aaaall that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
we're currently plotting our next moves. we've been having a right old ball ache with the split 7" but we are hopefully not too far off having it sorted now. we've also been having a right old ball ache with the album, but again, we're close with that too i think!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
we have a bunch of shows across the south-east of england in september, and plenty more on the horizon. come see us!<br />

<br />
in other news, we've been included on this Feliciano <a href="http://feliciano.bandcamp.com/">download comp</a> along with such radders as Hymns and Polio. check it out! it's free to stream or £1.49 to download. dirt cheap. End Of Radio are also putting together a CD-R comp that we'll be featured on, so be sure to go to one of their mint shows soon so you can pick one up for free i think.<br />
