shitty zombies

our good friends at .JUNK made us a video for a track off holy cop. it's pretty darn silly. FFO: wrestling + appraisals.

also we got a show coming up this saturday may 17th at the hope & anchor in islington. WE GAT FLYERS AT THA DOOOR (or below even).

i have an extensive collection of name tags and hair-nets

we are super keen to play the ArcTanGent festival summer. if you think you'd like to see us there, maybe you could tell them by dropping a comment on their facebook page? 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).

in the mean time, check out the posters for these excellent shows we've been booked for in the spring! x

in other news, we've been asked by the Danse Society to support them at their show at the camden underworld on february 8th. pretty excited about this! check out the dark post punk vibes laid down at their 1981 peel session. sound!

this is the news

We've had a bunch of press and stuff for the album. This ain't all of everything but meh, I ain't being paid to put this together, and I haven't had my breakfast yet. Use google if you want to find the one that called us "Quasi-drivel"!

Artrocker which gave us 3/5 stars, which you can buy off itunes/google play/amazon. here's our bit.






Rocksound 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". Ronnie Radke was on the front cover:

We also got this, which I'll grant you, isn't an album review, but they said some real nice things about us:

now let me see...

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!

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 GET ON IT!

"get a hobby" off of the new album has been included in this rad comp by Punktastic. check it out at the link. i've embedded the accompanying literature below, have a virtual flick through.

how about i draw a line down the middle of your head so it looks like a butt?

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.

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.

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!

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]
