In what has been a fairly quiet year for us, we've managed to cram some exciting stuff in, for example, performing two sets at Bunkfest in Wallingford, there's nothing cooler than playing an acoustic set on a train!

I have to apologise, every time I post some news I always say “we have two new singles coming soon!”, I'm certain I've said this for two years with nothing to show. So I am going to change it to “we have two new singles coming at some point in life!”. Trust me, I'm very disappointed in myself for not having them out much sooner and when I wanted.

We've also been without a drummer for almost a year, but that changed over the weekend as we welcomed Daniel Richardson to the band! Dan is best known for being the drummer in the band Violet Origin and he has also worked with our bassist, Lew, on a Broken Device video package. Our first practice session with him left us with a lot of excitement and we are looking forward to getting our first show of 2026 booked in.
