Aiight? We're back from the USSA now and I've written up all my tour blogs. Some of them have been published on The Skinny website – but you can read even more nonsense over at: http://foundtheband.com/blog/

Happy reading . . .

A joint release between Aufgeladen Und Bereit and Fence Records, The Fidelities EP is our first vinyl 12" and comes with a free CD – there are 8 brand new tracks split over the two formats. You can buy it from the Fence Record site here and also download the tracks using the widget above – we've set it up so you can choose what you'd like to pay.We hope you enjoy it!

I've designed a t-shirt to raise some extra funds for our SXSW venture and the kind folks at Focus skateshop have produced it for us. They're selling it in their shop and webstore. It's available in two different colour ways (blue and black) and it's £17.95.

Take a look at it here.

Let me know what you think of the design.

Cheers

We're the cover stars of The Scotsman's Crituqe magazine today. Andrew Eaton has written a very nice piece about the healthy state of the Edinburgh music scene and decided to feature us as the number one band to see. Thanks Andrew!

This is what it looks like:

And you can read the whole feature on The Scotsman site here.

Hello folks,

I hope you're well.

As of today, you can pre-order our brand new record, the FIDELITIES EP from the Fence Records website. 8 tracks of music spread across two formats - 12" vinyl and CD (which come together in a complete package).  It's meant to retail at £6.99, but we're knocking off £2 on all pre-orders ... so you can pre-order until the end of February for just £4.99!  As of March 1st, this will go up in price - so be sure to take advantage of this deal TODAY!

Listen to previews of the EP on our FOUND The Fidelities EP on Last.fm page.

Pre-order your copy here.

Hello friends . . . I hope you're all well.

Some of you may know that FOUND are going over to play at the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas this March. It's a fantastic opportunity and we're extremely excited about it – but also pretty scared as there's a lot of preparation to do and A LOT of money to raise. The Scottish Arts Council are likely to fund some of the money we need, but we still need to raise thousands ourselves! While Ziggy's making plans to rob his local Margiotta's, I'm trying to come up with some more legal ideas.

So . . . we've put together a special fundraising album: 'snarebrained' is a download album featuring a collection of exclusive remixes and songs previously only available on limited edition vinyl. It features collaborations and remixes from Lisa Lindley Jones, De Rosa, Jonnie Common (Down The Tiny Steps) and Akira Kiteshi.

As is the fashion these days, we have devised an unconventional payment method – the album has five different prices so that you can decide how much you want to support us towards our campaign to conquer the US. Price options range from £2.50 to £49.

Please help us out and buy a copy! Listen to all the tracks and download the album from here: foundtheband.com/news/snarebrained/

Many thanks for your support.

Cheers . . . Tommy / FOUND

This Saturday 15 November sees the age-old Edinburgh / Glasgow rivalries reignited and we will be battling against our new Glaswegian nemesis, De Rosa at a special showcase gig at Sleazys. For the occasion, we have remixed De Rosa's beautiful 'Robin Song' and they have retaliated with a explosive reformation of our own 'Reshaping'. Every ticket holder will be given an exclusive download link and password to get their ears on these rare sonic treats. Tickets are £5 and doors open at 8 pm.

FOUND are pleased to announce that we are taking part in a revolutionary new download service called Ten Tracks. They're offering monthly compilations of ten tunes for £1 - and the first month includes MAPA's fine remix of Found Can Move from our debut album of the same name.

The business model has been designed to give as much profit to the bands as possible. So please support us and the other nine, fine bands involved. Head on over to TenTracks.co.uk to find out more.

Our old friends Cuts + Strings are back and are putting on a special gig with FOUND and Black Affair (aka Steve Mason) on Saturday 12 July at The GRV in Edinburgh. This is a rare chance to see Steve's Black Affair live show in intimate surroundings . . . come along . . . it shall be great.
