We know all of you (y'know, all three of you) have been wondering what we have been doing since our show with One Last Day back in February. Truth be told, it's been pretty quiet on the band front, however, there has been a lot writing. 

There's around fourteen songs that we have been working on, three of which are nearing completion. You may have seen a social media post recently of Ali hitting the drums surrounded by microphones and a laptop running Pro Tools. This is from a recording session we did for new songs called “Time”, “Your Words” and “Memory Lane” that we are hoping will reach your ears soon.

We plan on staggering their releases while we get shows booked up for next year as well as finishing the pool of new material we have been working on. So stay tuned, there is still plenty more yet to come!
 

Today we released our new "live in the studio" album 'Four Knights In Farnborough'. It is available to listen to NOW on all of our channels.
There is also a video version of the live album coming soon too, it is currently being edited and pieced together by our very own Lew Smith. He recently did the same with his other project Broken Device which you can watch here.

'Four Knights In Farnborough' was recorded at The Rooms Rehearsal Studios in Farnborough, which is where we hold our band practice sessions as well. It features a collection of songs from all of our releases and it was a lot of fun to record.

There's been some happenings since the release of our last album 'Amethyst' in November 2020. Scott and I have both had kids, we have a new website, we've been working on new material, we've put out new merch and we've got two new knights, finally turning the duo in to a quadruple. A new era has begun.

We've wanted to form a full band since releasing our first album in 2015 but things just never slotted in to place, but this time feels different. Our new drummer Ali messaged us in July after seeing an ad we had posted (and forgotten about) on a website called BandMix seeking a drummer, bassist (and my brother) Lew joined in August, I asked him because I have been in a band with him before and know we can rely on him to fill that role.

After a couple of practice sessions, we already feel comfortable with each other and the sound is brilliant. We have some cool plans in mind and it won't be long before we can announce things. We will most likely be looking to start playing shows in 2022 and we are very excited.
