Perfect Sound Forever Interview
Meant to post this a while ago, great interview recorded just after the album came out when Danny was still in the band.
“If I was arrogant enough to think I’d heard every band in Manchester, I’d see fit to herald Easter as the band near the start of their trip most likely to gain much greater mass appeal. Having seen them play too many gigs to count, for the most part increasing in intensity and passion each time, I would certainly recommend them to anyone who loves great rock music that takes influence from the past, perhaps most obviously Red House Painters, Neil Young and the Velvet Underground, and pushes it into new shapes that spark imminent urgency….”

Radio Session
Just in case you missed this…
When we played Cardiff in November we did a radio session for The Waiting Room which aired online several times before Xmas, as it’s a syndicated show. We played a few new tracks that had never been recorded before. They sound pretty rough and raw but check them out anyway!
You can also hear an interview with Tom that was recorded at about 4am in “a bit” of a haze. Plus there is a load of other music on the show:

Cheers to everyone who came to see us in Cardiff, Stoke, Glasgow, Edinburgh and back home at the Black Lion too. We have been asked to open for MONO at Sound Control this Sunday. See you there.
