Hello my friends,

It's nearly time for the release of our Album "Voices of Animals and Men". It will be in the shops from Monday, but you can pre order copies here (he tries not to sound all over excited and smug). Plus from Monday on iTunes you'll be able to buy a special version of the album that includes 3 rare demo recordings and an interactive booklet!
 

"Weekends and Bleak Days (Hot Summer)" is out now so if you haven't picked your copy up, please do. It came out on Monday and is doing pretty well. We may even get out first top 30 hit! Fingers crossed! Listen out this Sunday .

You can buy it here online and here as a digital download. As normal we have done three brand new B-sides for the three formats including "Guess the Babies Weight" which we have been playing all over the festivals. Plus there's an exclusive acoustic version at iTunes.

If you want a chance to see us before the tour in October (dates below) then you can come along to one of our instore shows. They are pretty good fun, we like to make them proper loud so that all the staff from Lush and the Vodafone shop get upset. Have a look below for details.
