We’re releasing our second full-length record in summer 2009. It’s called BACK TO THE FUTURE and it’ll be available from iTunes, Amazon and the SMALLTOWN AMERICA online store.
In 2008 we were pretty lazy. Besides writing and recording this new record we only played a handful of shows and we got to go to Spain and Northern Ireland. We had a good year. Accordingly, we’ve resolved to never play to an empty room ever again.
Of course, that doesn’t mean we won’t but we are going to try and be a bit cleverer about how we book shows. So if you like what you hear and you’d like to hear us attempt to play these songs live please tell us where you live and we’ll try and book something near close to you. If you’re there it won’t be an empty room. If you tell your friends about us and they come too we might even have a good night.

I guess it's easier to let it flow/ To speak about da things u think u know/ I guess you never have to prove your point/ Your mouth can open til it's outta joint/
I've heard a lot of people tell me things/ Made me imagine they were happenings/Some got ma collar hot angry inside/ Before I found out they had told me lies/
How does da wrong conclusion benefit?/ You always seem to want to jump to it/ You saying things that never mean to fit/ But say them all the same you jump to it/ The citys too small/ The citys too big/ Make a snap decision/ Jump to it!/ Jump to it!/
You act like they're all listening/ To what u say cos you're happening/ Like a smokescreen on da middle of da street/ You're pompous with pomposity/ You're not that big, bout 4foot 10/ Much smaller than all da other men/ And I don't believe your wayward smile/ It smacks of borrowing someone else's style/
How does da wrong conclusion benefit?/ You always seem to want to jump to it/ You saying things that never mean to fit/ But say them all the same you jump to it/ The citys too small/ The citys too big/ Make a snap decision/ Jump to it!/ Jump to it!/
Suited!/ Booted!/ Hair been coiffeurred!/ Sound been muted!/ Action!/ Action!/ Look at me now!/ It's not sunset strip but you feeling Wow!/ All a big parade/ For the sake of exposure/ Throws yer/ Knocks yer back!/ Like a rollercoaster!/
Stiff upper lip!/ Stood still!/ Erect!/ All to overshadow/ Just a big effect/ Never gonna make/ A decision dats right/ If it all goes wrong/ You can just sit tight!/ Or take flight!/ Or create a diversion/ Make an assertion/ "It doesn't matter what we say/ They listen to us anyway/ We'll tell them what we think we think/ It's time for rash decisioning!"/
How does da wrong conclusion benefit?/ You always seem to want to jump to
I just ordered the new album and bonus CD from STA. Really looking forward to giving it a spin. You'll need to come back to Forres again, good times to be had!
"I Like Yr Name In My Blackberry" KICKS ASS AND TAKES NAMES (literally). One of my top 10 tunes for 2009. Any proper vids planned for the second album?
Thanks for being a part of the loudest music scene in Brighton.
There's new tracks up so take a listen!!
We're also looking for people to review gigs and Demos. This does mean discounted or free gigs and free band demo's to everyone we pick. If you want to get involved send me a message.
It's £2 + £1 P&P (UK)/ £2 P&P (Rest of the world)! There are only 200 of them and they're all hand-numbered. I'm sending out badges with the next 50 orders!
Thanks for the add, loving your tracks guys. When is your next gig? We'd be interested in coming to see you play live.
Come and check out our next gig night this Monday (17th Nov - The Alexandria Quartet are headlings, awesome band!), would be ace to meet you and have a chat.
