Got a bunch of leftover merch from the US tour available. These shirts, the new discography cassette that’s out on Dead Broke, and more copies of the Small Pleasures LP (some of which are on red vinyl).
I’m sorry to anybody who gets bored of me posting reviews of our not-very-new-anymore album here, but this actually cleared up some of my back home blues for a minute.

“At first listen you may think that the band are a bunch of serious punks that have a depressing outlook on life and are close to choosing which way is best to leave this so-called life…”
In other news, two thirds of us are back home from America (Andrew is holidaying in a Florida swamp) where we had a very nice time with the deservedly popular Timeshares and the very inspiring Mike Harpring.
For anybody who didn’t go, Fest was wild as always and Underground Railroad to Candyland kind of stole the weekend. Except that Hamish says Punch did. And I accidentally took speed which was nowhere near as funny as that time Matt Calvinball smoked crack.
See you in the North, or at WTFest soon.

USA! USA! USA!
Nothing very new to say about Bangers at the moment, but I did find a flat out bad review of Small Pleasures to share.

Also Loren from Scene Point Blank said some slightly nicer things about it.

Thanks to Sebastio and Loren.
See y’all in the US.

As you may or may not know, we’re off to the USA next month to play The Fest 10 and a string of east coast dates with the awesome Timeshares (exact dates will be up here soon). Flights are all booked and we’re raring to go. But as I’m sure you do know we’re all constantly skint so we’re selling off a few rare / out of print records and test pressings to help pay for all the other stuff (hire car / hotels / merch bills) that seems to be piling up.
You can check out the auctions here. If you want any of this stuff please bid what you can, every little helps!
Our in print records and a few shirts are still available here and you can download all our music and donate us money if you’d like at our bandcamp. That’d help too.

Also the day after we’re now playing at The Croft in Bristol with As We Sink and Fighting Fiction.
I wish that actually working full time was this cool.
When I said we weren’t going to do anymore shows this year, I lied.
