So we did something...

Here are some new demos for you to listen to. It's not the EP, but it's something right? We're gonna be going back into a studio in around a month or two to record all the rest of the songs, as well as some new ones. We've also got some acoustic tunes to finish with Zac so watch out for them as well.

Oh yeah, the download... right...

Not long until Endorse It! We may have a gig before then, but if that happens, we'll let you know!

Quick Video

So Eighties Matchbox on Saturday was a lot of fun! Thanks for everyone who came along to see us (it really does mean a lot!), and fucking hell... weren't 80s Matchbox amazing? Well I thought they were incredible...

Anyways, it's about 3 weeks on Friday 'til we play at this years Folk Festival, and we'll hopefully have a few more new songs in the set. We had a new new song on Saturday and it seemed to go pretty well, so hopefully it can go on from there!

This is a video of the rehearsal space we used to write the new set, and there's a couple of the new songs on there in their earliest stages (I fuck up on the first bit of Raise The Alarm... shameful!), so have a listen and also support the Basement as it is a great rehearsal space and Brian, the owner, is a lovely guy, and you can practise whilst drinking cream soda!

Review from Saturday

Never normally post these sort of things, but I thought it was a nice little review from the Bournemouth Gardens gig on Saturday.

"Bournemouth gardens was buzzing as an event organised under the name "The Takeover" meant local musicians were given an opportunity to play live in front of a reasonably large audience. One band in particular that stood out were "The Metropolise" an alternative indie band that look good and sound awesome. The band had been hyped up due to this being their comeback show and a preview of their new sound. Despite some sound problems the songs were up beat, dancey and perfect to tap your foot to. The band also communicated confidently with the audience making jokes and introducing their songs. I am looking forward to hearing the bands E.P which is due out soon and if you haven't seen them they have a gig with friend/musician Zac Harris on the 3rd of May at The Winchester."

Thank you to Stalky for that one.

1 down...

1 more to go before folk festival! yesterday was fun... not gonna go into how pissed off we were with the organisers, they probably thought we were a bunch of amateur pre-madonnas but whatever... was nice to see a lot of people there yesterday and best of all it was good to finally get these new songs out there after working hard and long on them. hope you're all digging them, and they will become a lot clearer to you at future shows. The Winchester show is may 3rd still, and we're still playing with Zac Harris and his band, along with two bands from Tokyo (sunset drive + natccu) and a london/bournemouth folk act under the name of oh dreamland. it's free entry and we'll be on kinda latish i'm guessing due to closing the show, which is cool.

thanks again everyone and hopefully see you soon
