I love your sound - Guy your voice is fucking awesome....nevermind fucking your mother I'd do you first haha!!....Get back to Manchester or Leeds or Hull...anywhere up norf'... Much Love xSineadx
I fucking love you guys. I heard + saw you for the first time at The Big Chill. What was with the mics? That really fucked me off that you could barely hear the vocals. It pissed me off about the attitude of some of the crowd too. Just wanted to say i thought you were amazing though (:
Hey, missing hearing news about you guys, hope you find a new guitarist soon and continue to make me giddy with excitement whenever you play near me or release a new song.
Alright fellas just dropping by, was chatting to Rich earlier I told him to say hi from me but I thought I'd do it myself.. miss you all! What's been happening? xxx
