New Album Update
Dear all
Our new eight track album is well on its way to be fully recorded and mixed by Kevin Jones at Eastriver Production Studio and we will hopefully have some news on the album name, track listing and release date for you soon. To say we are slightly excited by the new music is an understatement, there are so many different influences, it's going to be quite epic.
As always we fully appreciate your continuing support :-)
