How can my band take part in the Surface Unsigned
Festival?
Hiya ! What ya been upto ? Its been a while ! Hope your well and kicking. Our single "Shutterspeed" is out now ! this is what the source had to say about it
‘... emotional vocal renderings akin to a slightly annoyed Elliot Smith and the kind of anthemic sonic atmosphere that recent Editors alluded to but never quite attained.’
drop by and have a listen to the track on our myspace, if you like what you hear, please show the support and get yourself a copy. keep in touch
