Roll up, roll up! Get your BLISTERS EP and merchandise here!

We know what you're thinking...all quiet on the western front for months and then BAM two blog posts within days of one another. Crazy hey! Well we have some more news about the EP and it's rude not to share ;)

On the last post we were telling you all about the launch of our second EP, Blisters. And now we're happy to say it's available to pre-order on limited edition vinyl and for download. You can do this by logging onto our new website here

Not only will you be able to pre-order the EP (released on 13th March), we have some other goodies including posters, t-shirts, annual gig passes and our very own 'Blisters ale' brewed at Krafty Brew in Edinburgh up for grabs!

All of the items will be ready for dispatch / pick-up on or before 13th March and all money will go to help funding our EP tour. The tour will take us up and down the UK over the month of March (and I'm sure you can imagine how much the fuel alone will cost doing it all in an old P reg camper van!) so every little helps us get out and get our music heard.

The website has also got our first EP, Autonomy and links to all of our social media sites on there so make sure you check it out.

We have a few more dates and venues to confirm before we can release the full tour schedule so make sure you keep your eyes and ears open - but if you are local to Manchester or just fancy a trip there, the details are all up on the new website as well as on Facebook here


Looking forward to seeing you at the front. #Herewego

Sorry for the radio silence - but we're back with exciting news!

Erm...Hello?..Is anyone still there?

Wouldn't be surprised if this is echoing around an empty room considering we haven't posted a blog since April! Eeeeessshhh. Pretty bad form, right?

What having we been doing? We that's just it actually. Since our last big gig at Gorilla (which sold out and was a fantastic night - and really we should do a blog about that but considering it was back in, ahem, May you probably can't be bothered to read about it!) our perfectly mis-matched diaries - you'd think we did it on purpose - saw holidays, festivals, moving houses and all sorts of other commitments that the band had clashing with one another. And so since then we have had a few low-key gigs. But nothing much to shout about. So that's why we dropped off the radar a little...

BUT we are still here. Still rehearsing. Still Jamming. And - we have finally got around to arranging the launch of the long awaited second EP that was recorded in the mega Motor Museum Studio last year.

We are just putting the finer details of the tour together but here's what we can tell you:

The new EP is called BLISTERS. We are launching it on 13th March, with a gig at the popular Manchester music venue, Gullivers. 

Tickets for this can be purchased in advanced for £5 here or will be available on the night for £7. Although we wouldn't suggest waiting until the night to get tickets because with special guests Andrew Metcalfe (of Sounds of Guns), Tremors (formerly Skinny Roller) and Lilliput to help make the launch a night to remember, it will definitely be a busy one. 

You really need to get out for this or risk missing out on a a special night.



Here's the link to the event page.

The rest of the locations and dates for the EP tour will be announced very soon so keep your eyes open.
