…modern life is rubbish!

We’re really sad to say that following a big change to EU postage regulations on the 12th of August and also the introduction of administration fees by various countries including the US we’ve had to increase our overseas postage charges for CD’s and vinyl accordingly.

Sorry folks we’ve kept them as low as possible for ages but we just can’t carry them any longer. Some UK artists are even pulling out of overseas sales altogether but we’ll keep them going come hell or high water!

But “Everything” our 29-song download compilation of our Three EPs and our Glamour In The Grey and Gil Brenton albums will remain indefinitely on a free/pay if you like basis so if you’re overseas and new to the band then you can at least have that to avoid all the costs or if you have our CD’s/vinyl and want our music to listen to on the move then likewise you can grab it now too.

Bandcamp has a superb app that you can download on to your device or you can integrate the songs into your Spotify or Apple playlists.

Here’s the “Everything” link….

We have also done this because we don’t put much emphasis on streaming sites who take our music and distribute it for free anyway so instead we do it on our terms and provide it via the one site who support and provide an incredible service to independent artists……Bandcamp.

Thank you for your support as ever.

Thank you to everyone for an amazing Bandcamp Friday where both our albums Glamour In The Grey and Gil Brenton were amongst the bestsellers there on the day.

Last Saturday was annual Record Store Day and we would have loved to be part of it……but we couldn’t because to get stock in to record stores you need to have a deal with a record distributor and none of the UK’s distributors wanted to take us on as they couldn’t see the audience potential.

So we DIY it our way and thanks to your incredible support we have two Top -10 UK Chart albums and two Bandcamp bestsellers where we collect 100% of sales money instead of the 40% that distributors pay to artists.

And we can have our own UK Record Store Day anytime or indeed all the time so today we’re doing that with 15 copies of our album Glamour In The Grey on special limited edition sea-foam coloured vinyl with lyric insert and band photo.

When they’re gone, they’re gone so if you would like a copy then now’s the chance to grab one here…..
