Hello world. We are delighted to announce that Alex Lane (formerly of Bad Blood Recovery) has joined us on drums for 2026 and beyond. Rehearsals have been insanely good/heavy and we can’t wait to bring our new live show to you all very soon, starting in May. 👊

Next show is at The Bullingdon this coming Friday with Sugar Darling and Killer Kowalski 👊 Tickets available here: www.bandsintown.com/e/1036695482...

Next show is in Oxford for Halloween 👹. Tickets available here: www.eventbrite.com/e/halloween-...

Personal challenges have led us to delay work on a new LP, so we have been working on this - featuring tunes either written by musicians we admire, or tracks that are favourites to important people in our lives. We realise this is left-field, but we hope you like it. M and I X

We play Bunk Fest tomorrow - on at 6.30 at The Cross Keys 👊

September's @nightshiftmag.bsky.social is online now at nightshiftmag.co.uk/2025/sep.pdf. Featuring The Bobo, Alto Alto, Count Skylarkin, Wychwood Folk & Acoustic Club, Truck Festival, Supernormal & 6 pages of gigs for the month ahead.

Huge thanks to @nightshiftmag.bsky.social for coming down to our Jericho Tavern show last week and writing these kind words - someone after the show said we managed to make the building shake at one point - sounds like we could have been heavier.

I wrote a little something for the 100th edition of Neil's @trustthedoc.bsky.social excellent blog. In it you can learn something about Neil himself. One of the reasons why this edition is so long is because he does so, so much for #grassrootsmusic ♥️🎶 demerararecords.com/trust-the-doc/

Huge thanks to Neil @trustthedoc.bsky.social for playing 'Lessons' three times on his radio show on exilefm.com. Amazing to hear it played live alongside other artists, and some pretty big ones at that. Also discovered @barrelhaus.bsky.social and #Greer, two acts I really loved the sound of.

Nice words about our new single from @foxreviewsrock.bsky.social - check out their site - loads of great stuff on there 👊
