Anyone a fan?

Heard them the other day through a friend. Amazing band.

A musically gifted teenager, Michael began writing the songs that make up the album in his bedroom in Nottingham at the age of 16. Overflowing with ideas, but lacking a band, he used his prodigious talents to turn his vision into reality. Playing nearly all of the instruments himself - guitars, bass, drums, vocals - he recorded the album in a local studio, with the help of engineer, and friend, Dan Knowles. -Taken from Myspace

I heard about this guy a few months back, but my searches turned up nothing at all! Any idea where I can get a sample?

Wow

An absolutely huge thanks to MarkyB for posting this thread. Without doubt one of the best new bands I've heard in a long long time

Any idea if he's working on any new material atm, or just concentrating on touring the States?

No problem

They blew me away when i first heard them. Their track Smokescreen is a great track from their Self titled album.

From what ive read on the net and forums, their track 'Blackout' is from their new album, which I *think* is due in may

Awesome

Can't wait to see them when I'm over in England for uni next year

I'll have to buy the album and EP - do they sell them off their site? I wouldn't mind all the money going to the band instead of an online CD shop.

Their sites pretty basic, only giving you links to myspace and their message board.

Sign up to their message board. The band post frequent updates on their. Just recently, theres progress on their new album and photos of the recording studio.
