We're still working away in our practice room and flats around Nottingham trying to write as many awesome songs as possible. It's going well, plenty of harmonies and important discussions about how to play the perfect two beat silence. Just thought I'd check in here to upload some (non) action packed pictures of the practice room which I thought were pretty cool. You'll notice that Bruce Willis takes pride of place in the room, he's been a big influence on our music. Expect the next album to be dubbed Yippe-Ki-Yay or somesuch!
Thousands of Reflections - or ToR - are a four-piece alternative rock band from Nottingham (UK). Adam Barnes & Aidan Blenkinsopp play guitar and handle vocal duties along with Simon Curd who also plays bass, with James Housley on drums.
ToR released their debut EP 'Drones & Sharp Teeth' on Headroom Records in November 2008. Recorded by Guy Elderfield at Random Recordings in Nottingham, ‘Drones & Sharp Teeth' saw a limited release in 2007 and has met with excellent reviews, which praise the band for their rich harmonies and strong melodies, and for their idiosyncratic and creative songwriting approach and sound. 'Drones & Sharp Teeth' is now available to buy from our shop and from many other retailers.
ToR are currently writing material for their next release, due in 2010, and will continue gigging between now and then.

Some news for you. T:M:H are through to the Bloodstock Battle Of The Bands FINAL on Saturday the 16th of May at the Rockhouse [formerly First Floor] in Derby!
We are all super excited as it would genuinely be a dream come true for me/us to play Bloodstock but the judges decision is of course heavily dependent on how much of a crowd we draw so we really do need your support more than ever *puppy dog eyes* if you only ever come to one T:M:H gig then please make this the one. even if rock or metal isn't your thing, please come along anyway and support me and my band because it would honestly mean so much. besides its something different and it would be fun to hang out and get messy!
As you are probably aware we are auditioning bass players at the moment (apply within) but our previous bassist Stu is filling in..it is the last time you will see him on stage with us so its going to be a pretty major night for us..would be nice to have you there thanks and muchhh loveth.
