GUEST BLOG: The Companions

Comprised of Robin Jax and Amber Bird, The Companions are a transatlantic duo with a difference. Both are on the Autism spectrum, and both are “lovers of music and fighters of demons”. …

Get In Her Ears are premiering the video for (parentheses) today, with a very special guest blog from Companion A.

[thecompanionsarehere]

Just a wee peak at what's behind the (parentheses) video. Want more? Good thing we've got a premiere of the full beast scheduled for Friday at 13:00 GMT!

Lofty goals take 2: I want to rock-tor like the Doctor. It's our role models who make us so stellar...

If you go trick-or-treating, the best houses are the ones with the full-sized chocolate bars. So, on Halloween, I guess that means the best bands are the ones with full-sized videos... And look what's landed here...The full-sized New Earth video, plus pre-order is live for the New Earth single! Pre-order at the https://companionsarehere.bandcamp.com/album/new-earth

I just want to rock like Spock. Surely my lofty goals will serve this band well!

[thecompanionsarehere]

Whilst you can't listen to our songs just yet, you can check out other bands that might go well with us. Who would our label file The Companions with? For one, the Twilight Sad. Which is brilliant, because I quite like them!

[thecompanionsarehere]

Right, has everyone had a chance to watch finally? Because, no spoilers (and no surprise), but I'm giddy that Doctor Who is back and so excited that the Doctor is a woman. And I really enjoyed the first episode, which means I'm officially allowed to feel hopeful over this whole series. Looks like our forthcoming single isn't the only bit of cosmic goodness hitting Earth this autumn!

Last wee tease to enfold your ears. Soon enough, we'll give you more than the moon, darlings.
