Summer 2012

It's been an exciting summer for us, despite not touring much we had the pleasure of playing 2000 Trees, which was a great, then a couple of weeks later we headlined the opening night of Off The Cuff. We have also been trotting along to various other festivals on more social outings, including Hevy Fest with our brothers &U&I where Steve graced the stage with them again.

We have also had a dream come true in seeing REFUSED play live this summer. Amazing.

Aside from enjoying watching bands we have been busy ourselves, working on new material, hidden away in our dark, cold studio! We are currently writing, demoing and rewriting various new tracks which we are really happy with so far. Currently we have no real plans with how to release them or when, just focusing on getting new tracks written and making sure we're doing it right. It's a very exciting time.

We have a couple of shows with Mutiny On The Bounty in September, their new stuff sounds epic!
