Hey guys! Hope you're all doing amazingly.
 
2019 is rocketing along as is its want, and we're furiously working on a whole heap of projects, not least of which is this new rock'n'roll album. And this newsletter is entirely devoted to that!
 
We have decided to call the album "GAME OVER", and features some awesome 8-bit art from Insta-artist @glucowski. Why "Game Over"? Well there's a lot of reasons... maybe we'll talk about them soon. The point of all this is do not miss this release.
 
What you really need to know is that we're only releasing this album on vinyl, CD and cassette - no streaming - and we are fast running out. In fact, as of today, we have remaining:
1. 23 vinyl copies
2. 143 CD copies
3. 15 cassette copies
So what's the art??
 
 
GAME OVER is our first studio album since 2015's "The Age of Entitlement". It's a real labour-of-love this one: a collection of covers and originals from the past 17 years - most we've never recorded before, a handful are re-imaginings of older songs that have evolved since their original outing.
 
The coolest part is that we recorded the whole thing ourselves, so it's the closest you'll ever get to being "at home" with us.
 
We wanted to make a record that acts as a 'love letter' to you guys who have stuck with us over the years. Something really special that says 'thank you'. So rather than sharing it with the world via streaming, we're only making available on vinyl, CD and audio cassette - the way music is meant to be heard.
 
And we've only making 100 vinyl, 400 CDs and 50 cassettes: PRE-ORDER IT HERE!! (You will get a download of the album along with the purchase so don't freak.) 
 
You'll also get an immediate copy of the song 'SHOT DOWN', which we did a little video for here: https://youtu.be/ubyDjYUvbF0
