We've finalized the details and are now in a partnership with a company called Matchbox Recordings. Our CD's will soon be available around the world through CD Baby, Tower Records and through Matchbox. All our artwork, supply and manufacture is all taken care of now too. This has only just happened and already a compilation is in progress with other bands on the label that will be supplied round the industry. Expect to see a feature of us in NME within the next few months

Nice one 
You lot sound all right. It's the "scene" at the moment, so pretty good chance really. Although it's getting a bit full of indie acts recently

Yeah, thats why we kept our music away from the mainstream indie....we played in Camden on Monday and went down a storm. There was a indie rock band on there and no-one thought they were anything special, but they did say that they like our dynamics and diversity..

MINT AS lad
and the material on your site sounds good, although they seem to be mastered abit shitly (personal opinion) - vocals always seem to be overdosed on reverb and placed way back in the stereofield (Perfect circle shows this), which makes the electric guitar (and bongos/congas in perfect cirlce) seem waaaay too fordward. Plus the tracks seem to have a tad too much compression on certain instruments, especially the drums and percussion tracks.
however, Mr Doe is a great track - the intro is mastered really well, enough reverb and the backing voxs are excellent, especially the layered voxs. But then it kicks in and vocals sink back abit too much and you let everything else drown it, plus things are oddly placed in the stereofield - but in makes a change from the usual kick/bass and vox in centre and everything else placed around them.
sorry mate, getting abit technical (i get like this when i listen to stuff  )....but the music is good mate, and you have defo got in at the right time, good luck with it
p.s - sorry if you get miffed at what i said about tracks, but ive known a few bands/people who have made it and local mags and a few bigs one have ripped the shites out of the mastering etc

The tracks werent mastered at all, they were just compressed and mixed down until we were happy with them........we were all in the studio and the CD sounded great at the time through the true monitors and stuff but obviously everyones stereo performs differently so certain tracks fell away a bit on certain stereos.
To be honest though - we didnt want an overpolished EP because it shows how much room there is for improvement..........This is our 3rd EP now (under different band names) and i think this one is more 'us' than any of them.
What youve said is pretty spot on and the things you picked up on are the same things weve picked up on too.
Cheers,

Everyones played at The Charlotte at some point....its on the UK circuit. I think weve played there 3 or 4 times now, and at the Abbey Park Festival too.
