Hey! Its been a while right? The blog kind of got shelved over the last 12 months because.. well you know... there's been a lot going on in the world that meant that we couldn't do what we do best so there wasn't really that much to waffle about.
We could while away the hours trying to piece together what ever the fuck just happened in probably the worst year of most of our lives, but its been done, and i'm sure like me you are sick to death of talking about the pandemic, being in lockdown, the endless fucking zoom quizzes and all that shit that seems to become the norm these days.
There is light at the end of the tunnel and that is a great thing, we just need to stay safe until we can human again. My wife summed it up perfectly i think - 'Its going to take a while to get used to being around people that haven't either been in or fell out of my Vagina' hahaha!
Anyway, despite the on and off house arrests, illness, tragedy and isolation we have managed to stay busy.
In August 2020 we entered Abatis Studios to begin working on the album. Set in a quiet industrial estate in Warwickshire and ran by the incredible Jon Priestley, we immediately felt at home. Bands such as DRAGSTER, THE DAMMNED, FACE UP and loads more had recorded there so we knew we would be in safe hands. We were quickly on the same page with what kind of record we wanted to make and within 30 minutes of arriving, Neil and Craig were laying down guide tracks while the drums were being set up. Over the course of five days we had pretty much completed all of the tracking - special mention to Craig who did all his bass parts in an afternoon, one take and perfect. In fact, we all did really well to be honest. All the prep work in the practice room driving ourselves mad with the click track definitely paid off. We knew exactly what we were doing and hopefully it shows on the record. Jon guided us through with relative ease and as long as you belt feed him coffee the recording process was an absolute pleasure. We cannot recommend Jon and Abatis enough.

Any way - fast forward a few lockdowns and we are at the 80% finished mark. We have the first single mastered and a posh video being worked on like a proper band! Keep an eye on our social media for updates, including pre-order info. We are doing a CD - Vinyl and Limited Edition CD run so its all go. It has been a steep learning curve for most of us but we are proper proud of the record so far and cannot wait to get it out.
Its called an Eye For A Lie and it has come to kill your monster.
Good luck 🤞
