Hello.... Well, since we last posted a blog or news we've been pretty busy, and we're almost ready to tell you what's going on! The good news is we're finished the mammoth recording of our third album "Little Sparks", and we'll be releasing a very special EP very soon. It's almost 5 years to the day we first recorded something as a band and released our first EP, "Leave It On", so we decided it would be cool to release a new EP of new music before the album. Like everything else on this album however, we've tried to make the release as interesting and special as possible, and so we've enlisted the help of some of our friends for the release... more on this to follow...! As regards the album, we're very proud of it and we're not going to rush it to have it out by November (which at this stage would be the earliest release), we're going to wait a few weeks, work on the artwork and the mixes, and release it very early in the new year. For us, we think this is the best album we have ever done, so we want to take the time to get everything right (We also want time to choose the best running order and tracklisting, and chosing an album from the 15 songs we recorded has not proven easy) As regards gigs, we've started back in the practice space and we're currently trying to work out how to play the songs, Some are quite different and will be a challenge... We'll let you know gig details as we have them. Anyway, this is just a little update to let you know whats going on, we'll be in touch real soon with more, we're very excited for you to hear it! Thanks for reading... delos

Bullet in the gone is the killer...what guitar chords do you use? I posted a chord sheet on ultimate-guitar.com when that was first released. doesn't seem to have gone up though! I'll do it again later! Edit: Tried posting it here but it kept getting messed up. Here's a screen shot of it! That part for "sky fell down" should G. Typo

So yeah "Did we Ever Really Try To Make It" is the next single. Lyrics time:
Gotta goosebump on my neck Gotta shortness in my breath Gotta sense of history, Still a shroud of mystery, There's a yearning in my soul, For a love I used to know, Something preying on my mind, Could there be a better time and....
Did we ever really try to make it? Did we ever really try? Did we ever really to face it? To see eye to eye. And we just run 'cause it's too hard!
And we keep on running on the spot.
I got lightning in my veins, A desire that never wains, I can't sleep a wink tonight, Lie awake still mystified that... I had a chance to make it real, I had a chance to break, the wound wouldn't heal,(not sure about this line) Now what am I to do, When I don't have you, when I don't have you...
Did we ever really try to make it? Did we ever really try? Did we ever really try to face it? To see eye to eye. And do we just run 'cause it's too hard!?
And we keep on running on the spot!
True heart, true heart, true heart. (repeat)
Did we ever really try to make it? Did we ever really try? Did we ever really to face it? To see eye to eye. Did we just run 'cause it's too hard!? Did we just run 'cause it's too hard!?

Latest twittering from the boys.... "physical copy of new ep going to print. Very exciting... There may be no money in selling music, but it's certainly worth creating it... " I say yay! And sure who needs money anyway..... well, ummm, actually I'd love a bit, but I guess I'd settle for an EP if that is the way the world works!

As far as I can remember, Ro said it would be about 5 or 6 weeks so that would mean end of Oct/start of Nov

They tweeted that it was going to print on the 17th of this month. Don't know how long it will take to get from print to us But I'd say we're nearly there ;D
