An interview with The Allender Band will be broadcast during Steve Lamacq's BBC Radio 2 show this Wednesday July 30, 2300-0000 BST. Or, in the words of the BBC themselves, "in Steve's next show, the hotly-tipped group The Allender Band from Bristol will be telling us why they are on the lips of the most excited music journalists". The Allender Band on the lips of excited journalists? Heavens!

Anyway, please do tune in (or listen again on the website for up to a week after the show). Robin Allender and Alex Wilkins of The Allender Band will be chatting about their music, their plans for the future and playing a track.

In The Grip of Light remains on sale on our website, iTunes  and Bleep (now in FLAC for all you audiophiles). However, after heavy BBC Radio play in the last couple of weeks (Radcliffe and Maconie on Radio 2, Lamacq on both Radio 2 and 6 Music, and Gideon Coe on 6Music), our stocks are running low so get your orders in soon if you want the beautifully-packaged CD version.
