Due to the US visa application being incredibly long-winded and annoyingly difficult, we regret to inform some of you that we’ll be missing a few dates in the South/East corner at the beginning of this tour. Everyone has been working really hard around the clock to try and get this sorted in time, but looks like we may have just missed the deadline which is a huge shame for us and any of you that feel you’re missing out. We apologise to anyone that was looking forward to seeing us at any of these dates, I’m sure we’ll be back again in time to make up for it.

However, visa’s now approved and all that’s left to overcome is an interview at the US embassy this Friday, it’s looking like we’ll be out there later next week to join the Enter Shikari boys on the bus around Atlanta on the 9th. We’re so stoked to be getting out there at all, let alone still having a month over there, and now we’re even more pumped for the shows as we’ll have to make up for lost time… so make sure you get down there early! We’re ready to tear. shit. up.

America… we’ll see you VERY soon, we can’t wait. R.

Have a sneaky peek at our new stickers… nice huh?! These will be available at most of the US dates, just come ask for some, and plaster them everywhere you can (outside of the venues, of course)!

UK guys… we’ll order more when we get home for you. Promise!

The lovely Marianne Harris took some sweet photos of us playing at this years Moshpit Open Festival in Sweden. Amazing photographer, knows how to party… not the best at wrestling though, we found.

Yesterday was a great day to be hanging out in London Town for two reasons. Reason one; the sky was blue, the sun was beaming its heat down for the first time in what seemed like weeks and spirits were high as we pulled up outside our destination. Why were our spirits high? Swiftly on to reason two. It could be that we could finally calm ourselves after panicking about our van potentially overheating in the midst of the Blackwall tunnel gridlock traffic and getting stuck for hours causing huge traffic disruptions all morning… or it could be the simple fact that we had driven into London to record our first ever video for ‘Stick To Your Guns’ on the roof of a building in Brick Lane! (…or both.)

We had a great time hanging out with Lawrence Hardy (the genius behind Enter Shikari/ You Me At Six/ Young Guns & Don Broco videos) all day. The only thing that lacked was beers in the park, as i’m certain he’d agree! Shooting the video was harder work than we’d anticipated, but i’m sure it’ll pay off once we see the final edit. Some photos and a short video blog of our day. Promotional video coming soon… R.

Unfortunately we didn’t manage to get any footage of the show as we were either having far too much fun or we were rushing around trying to get everything done on time! Here are a few photos and a short video we managed to capture of/between our drunken antics. Im sure you’ll notice the two lovely people we met last night in a small rock bar; Sebastian (The Giant) and Roxy. They taught us some dutch. We showed them how to dance. They made us laugh. Lots.

Just packing up in the hostel about to head home – thanks for having us, Tilburg… It’s been real!

Bit of a mission from Kent to Holland. Drive to the coast, ferry to France, drive through Belgium, past Antwerpen and finally into Tilburg. The big surprise is… our van actually made it? Baffled. Tilburg is an amazing place. EVERYBODY rides bikes. We’ve already met some very cool people, and went to a really cool 80′s night. We’re all dead in the hostel now after an eventful evening, time to catch some zzzz’s. Short video and photo gallery uploaded here so you can check out our surroundings.

Really looking forward to the show tomorrow, and especially the partying afterwards. Oh yes. R.

Our brand-new EP’s were delivered to the warehouse today, they look pretty shit-hot! Our bud Jeremy sorted us out with the goods and we took some time out to sign a few for those of you who pre-ordered these bad boys, just to show our appreciation. For those who haven’t yet, it’s not too late!

Pre-order yours NOW from the Store, and you too will get a signed EP in the post, in the next week or so. Your support would really mean a lot to us. Here’s a few photos we took that day… R.

Today we gave FRONT’s stereo a boner. We’re pretty pleased about this! Your welcome, FRONT. R.

Yesterday we were invited up to London by the lovely people at the Reebok Lounge to have a chat and help ourselves to some new shoes. It really couldn’t have come at a better time as ours were literally falling apart! We picked our pairs, said goodbye to the lovely Sinead and trailed off into London town checking out some awesome graffiti in and around Brick Lane, hoping to find a cool spot for our new video.

We bumped into our bud Tom hanging out in the Drop Dead store, he let us know about the new season coming this October so make sure you check that out! Soon after, we went for a burger with our manager to chat about things and catch up. This burger was huge, it defeated Alex.

Just as we left to meet our good friend Ben, the heavens opened and the rain hit us hard. We just about made it into our regular pub for a good few pints and some good chats before heading home later that night. We documented the day with a short video and a fair few photos below for you all to check out. Enjoy! R.

Check out some of the bands we were hanging out with at this years’ Moshpit Open Festival, Sweden. Awesome guys, awesome music. Photos from the after party coming soon… in the mean time, have a listen. R.

Still in Sweden two days after the festival, we eventually found the spa and splashed about all day with Deaf Havana. Steam room, hot tub, pool and loungers made this an awesome place to chill out. Flying home in a few hours, thanks for having us Sweden!

See you soon. R.

We’re here. So far…

More photo’s to come… just a teaser to tide you over while we enjoy the country!

Just chillin’ out at the Light house, Alex and I are playing PS3 waiting for Tour Manager ‘Wolfdog’ and General Road Lad ‘Ratty Rich’ to swing by so we can go last minute shopping for another yearly adventure to Sweden. Main items on the list are; snacks, alcohol and medicine to help cure this beastly cough i’ve got going on. Looking forward to hanging with the other bands, and taking full advantage of the ice cream fridges and the swimming pool.

We’ll be updating our blog as we go, whenever we can get to a computer so keep checking back! There’s much fun to be had so watch. this. space. R.
