Adversity

This is a blog more or less cross-posted from our myspace.

Adversity

After events over the past few weeks the last blog we posted 'On Our Way Back' reads as hopelessly optimistic.

As usual with this band our plans to mount a return to the touring circuit hit a brick wall due to events beyond our control. This time it was a death in the family which basically shut down the band for several weeks. Everything has ground to a halt and we cancelled both of our planned weekenders.

One thing from the last blog that continues is songwriting. We're working towards a follow-up to our debut album 'The World On Standby' which has done really well and garnered some nice reviews. We are talking to a great American band about a split and some vinyl, but an EP is also a possibility. We feel there's no point rushing into another full length while our own sound is still developing and maturing. Stay tuned for updates on that.

We have just started booking shows again and are lining up all kinds of dates. It's mostly looking like local shows but we are adding them virtually every day, so check our list for that. We are aiming to be back touring then at the end of May, when we're trying to reschedule with This Distance.

Think of it like a football player recovering from injury, that's us.

See you.
