Just an update for anyone who scans this page regulaly and thinks its gone quiet.

We've done 25 dates since Feb 2007, released Comfort in Fear, had some airplay on BBC6 (Lamacq/Tom Robinson) and of course our friend Groovy Jim at Shoegazer Radio. Had quite a few (mainly good) reviews for the album and of course the odd live gig made the press as well. We've supported some great bands (give or take the odd primadonna accusing us of misplacing his box of singles-tsk!), fried 2 Marshall heads, and last but not least the band bus has a small plant growing next to the handbrake.

We've met some nice people and had lots of Myspace messages from people who seem to like what we do (quite a lot of them from the US/Europe and further afeild). Our thanks to you all.

At the moment we are taking a short break to recharge the batteries then we will commence work on new material, there will be no more gigs now til Jan/Feb 2009. We are desperate to play new material. We do have quite a few new pieces of music and we want to take our time. At the moment there isn't a clear picture on how this is shaping up, but the feeling within the band is that we want the music to have more "Space" and feel less layered.

It will still have the HoS spirit, but at the same time we hope to develop the sound and enhance it. While still making sounds that are an escape for all of us from the everyday mundane world.

Anyway Peace/Out

Not a bad one, thanks to Mr Moffatt, who we've not met but will definitely buy a beer when we do!

You can here us live and on this week's podcast at http://www.wtnrradio.com/

The show goes out 2pm-10pm Sundays. :)

Hey everyone, our album Comfort in Fear is now available to buy (CD or download) from Northern Star records: http://www.northernstarrecords.co.uk/productDetails.cfm?ProductID=377

UK-based, Northern Star means you can buy MP3s of the album or individual tracks without having to use the evil iTunes. :)

They're also jolly decent chaps and creators of the Psychedelica compilations, on which of course we featured. Keep an eye out for Volume 3!

Well, after being played on Tom Robinson's show, we have the opportunity to be played again - but it's down to you! Go to the following page and vote Heroes of Switzerland!
