It's Bandcamp Friday again, which is always a big help for daft lads like us.
We've reduced the price of our latest album, 'This Blue Earth' on CD & vinyl so those who are yet to get their mitts on it can do so, and can be more like Stanley..

We've needed a bit of recuperation since the big launch of This Blue Earth, and are now gearing ourselves for getting out and about across the UK next year - we're doing most things ourselves, so does anyone have any good promoters in other cities they'd recommend!?

2nd album after bagging one in Probe when we were in Liverpool. Here it is booming around the Piazza Sturzo, Sciacca, Sicily.

Buy it. Grab the vinyl/CD/mp3, whatever. Support artists who self-release impeccable music like this. Spread peace & love not hate. And “never trust a man with a flagpole in his garden.” Or one who paints a curb or a roundabout either. ✊💚

It is incredible in every way. From the horns, to the artwork, to the amount of bass players 😜, to how the songs released on Matty’s 2 solo albums have now been made fully formed. Plus there’s Flagpole and La Dolce Vita, first heard way back 5 years ago during the lockdown live ‘Bunker Sessions’.
