Recording has gone well... we hope to have the final cut, mixed and mastered by the end of the month. There are some new pictures taken from our time recording '1st November' and 'Not Together, Ever'in the recording section of the photos archive.

We are really happy with some sections in 'Not Together, Ever' where we have got in a friend on Cello to play a few parts... plus theres this vocal section at the end, that alex had an idea for that worked out so well.... we cant wait to hear the final mix down of it! So overall we're stoked on how it went and the fact we have got some songs that we love down. We're really thankful to Alex Neill for taking the time to do it all for us, for free.

Oh... plus both Keiran & Jez got themselves each a £60 parking ticket, which was nice. But dont worry they got a deal on it... half price if paid within 14 days! BARGIN!

We'll be heading back into the studio, with our friend and producer Alex Neill, over the course next few weeks to record '1st November' and 'Not Together, Ever' - we're all super excited about getting some new songs laid down, its been almost a year since our last real recording!

Our next EP is likely to feature the following:

1. 1st November
2. Not Together, Ever
3. Close the door behind you, post the keys through the letter box (ACOUSTIC)
4. MP (LIVE)
