About THE REELS- split up...bye

We've decided to call it a day after 3 long and hard, but enjoyable years. Call it the wrong time. Call it the wrong place. I dunno. Somethings just didn't run for us. Somethings did.

We've had the pleasure of playing with the likes of Athlete, The Courteeners, British Sea Power and the soon to be massive Airborne Toxic Event. We've met some great people along the way. We've also met our fair share of twats along the way as well.

A massive massive thanks to anyone that to came to our shows, listened to our tunes or just gave us the time of day. It was a pleasure.

Also a massive thanks to our ex-members Joe and Dan. Top top blokes.

They're might be some free downloads up soon as a treat. Maybe even that single version of 'Mondayze' that never got released and has officially become one of the biggest jokes the 21st century.

Love & thanks,

Neil, Alex & Jeremy

The Reels are an indie-rock band that alternate from Cornwall and London. If The Beatles, Radiohead and The Killers had a fight, it might end up sounding a bit like this. The Reels have been playing all over the place in Cornwall and London,and been getting rave reviews in the process, aswell as getting in the NME.Having already supported The Courteeners and British Sea Power in 2008, watch out, cos The Reels are coming.

Johnny Echo Echo	Dec 31 2008 10:49 AM Ive slipped outta the loop a bit cos Im busy with the book Im writing and also some large project home DIY, which is due to the impending birth of Volume 2 (as its being called) in March 09... Still writing for Record Collector Magazine though I miss attending sober the not so local gigs and the endless driving between venues of the old days! Waht are you lot gonna do then? Reform for a Take That style success filled stadium tour and album, or splinter into a selection of even more successful new bands like the Big In Japan did? (Check history books - Liverpudlian band that spawned, bunnymen, wah, teardrop explodes, lightening seeds and frankie goes to hollywood etc) Well I personally think the former is a better option, and I still think you boys make a great noise! Happy 2009 Reels Forever!!
Johnny Echo Echo	Dec 29 2008 11:19 AM You Bastards! How dare you split up just as the local scene needs a champion more than ever!! (I guess I must be in the ..twats.. catagory)
Anon, They Move... [HIATUS]	Dec 29 2008 8:55 PM New song up! Give me your opinion! xxo
Anon, They Move... [HIATUS]	Dec 22 2008 2:47 PM As it's christmas, I felt I should put up a new song that hasn't been heard. It'll only be on the page until the end of the holidays, so listen, download and tell me what you think! Have a good xmas xo
Racoony Mcmokey	Dec 10 2008 1:38 PM out of all the bands i saw during my cornish giggery spell, the reels were the band i was convinced were the most likely to succeed, no need for gimmicks, no time for glitzy shallow style over substance music, just great riffs, amazing vocals, witty banter & originality in abundance, and if i carry on anymore i shall make myself and everyone who has any taste in music shed a tear!! big love to you lads, bloody brilliant and a real pity you came to the end of the reel :-( x
Anon, They Move... [HIATUS]	Dec 8 2008 9:11 PM I have a new song up, please take the time to listen to it and tell me what you think please. Thank you, Anon, They Move... xo
