Our next CD!
We start recording the CD at Tim Matthew's Red October Studios in a few weeks and are really looking forward to recording our new material. We've been tucked away working on the new songs, and they're shaping up really well, some really interesting arrangements unfolding in the songs.

The CD will be released early in October, and keep Wednesday 12th October free for our launch night!
