March On March

I really do think I have fallen in love with these guys. I just can't get enough of their music! I can't believe that I missed them opening for Pierce The Veil! They've also opened for Sleeping With Sirens! I'll be gutted if I hear they opened at the Newcastle one on Tuesday. I would of loved to of been at one of them gigs.

Hopefully they will do a show in the north east sometime, my friends have fallen head over heals with them too, I should really stop dragging them down with me, it's bad enough I'm skint because of bands, I shouldn't let her take this path too, well at least I won't be alone at gigs. 

I can only find three songs by them but I'll post a link for them below, go have a listen and tell me what you think, or not, I'm not your mam so I can't force you.

Overworld

I'm obsessed with the lead singers vocals! You could stick it on a shitty dance track and it would still sound awesome. The drums are my second favourite, they make me want to get up and jump around my room like an idiot.

The only bad that I have to say is that on some of their tracks they sound exactly like something that would go onto one of Black Veil Bride's albums. BVB and Overworkd are to amazing bands but sometimes they sound the same. Still think you're great though and won't stop me from listening!

Snow White's Poison Bite

This band creeps me out but I like them at the same time, I don't dare say I like them outside of my house otherwise I'll get jumped on by chavs but I can scream all I want online that I like these, mainly because I hopefully don't have any stalkers on here searching for my address.

They have a really unusual style which makes every time you look or listen to them you think its Halloween yay!

Go check them put if you want, I can't really force you but I doubt you'll regret it, they're a bit heavy and very strange but in a good way. 'Will You Meet Me In The Graveyard' is my favourite, the start of it reminds me of something Marilyn Manson would release.

Face The King

I really want to thank @mergoddess13 (Twitter) for requesting this band, I love them! Unfortunately like most good bands these are in the US and I'm over 3,000 miles away in the UK, btw I Googled the distance, I'm not actually that smart but if you want to think I am then go ahead. 

Anyways, amazing band, the lead singer reminds me of someone but I just can't put my finger on it. I love everything about this band, their lyrics, vocals and the backing track. 

Guys, if you read this and don't already I think  you should follow @mergoddess13. 

I have a band that I think needs more exposure @facetheking my favorite band, incredible music, amazing to all there fans, so , so talented the whole world needs to hear there sound!! Please feature them!!

Thanks,
Marina @mergoddess13

Circle Of Reason

These aren't really one of my favourite bands I have listened to, they're okay but I wouldn't go to their gigs or anything like that.

Their instrumentals are really good and great quality but they do over power the vocals a little too much and the vocals sort of blend into them.

All in all these are a decent band but nothing I would go and spend my money on, but just because I'm not much of a fan shouldn't put you off, I'll post a link for their music below and check them out, comment below what you think of them. I think 'Chasing The Sun' is their best so its worth a listen.

https://www.facebook.com/circleofreason

Pierce The Veil

The past month I've been petty much obsessed with these guys, but who wouldn't be?

I just love everything about this band! Vic's vocals, Mikes drumming, Tony's guitar skills and Jamie's bass playing mashes together so well and is like pizza the morning after, amazing to start with and gets even better. 

They're coming to the uk in October, they'll be Bring Me The Horizons support act, whose going? I had to sell my tickets because I'm working on the night :(

My favourite songs of theirs is 'A Match Into Water' and 'King For A Day'.

Down The Machine

For some strange reason this band reminds me so much of Fightstar, don't ask why, I've had art for seven hours straight today and have been up since five so now probably isn't the best time for me to be writing but what the hell.

If you like your classic rock then this is the band for you. My favourite song is Know Your Place, it just reminds me of some of the classic rockbands that I used to listen to until SWS and PTV took over my life.

Give them a listen and tell me what you think down the bikini bottom. I've had three cans of Rokstar today, don't judge and come on we all still watch spongebob.

Peace out mothafugers.

Rayne

I think I've learned my lesson for not posting and reading my emails properly. these are such an awesome band and were playing just 10 minutes away from me in June, the day after I left school too so they would of been a perfect way to celebrate leaving that shithole!

These are quite a local band to me so that just makes them 20x better so I can go to their gigs. They're quite soft compared to most of the bands I listen too but they're deffo up there on my ones to watch list, and on my 'See Live' playlist. They're doing another little tour and I might be able to go to the Hartlepool gig depending on the time it finishes, or they could just be even more awesome and come around the corner and perform for us on my Art & Design course in the collage?

Comment below if you're going to one of the gigs, especially if its the Hartlepool one and don't forget to have a listen of these guys, you seriously will not regret it!

Details for the gigs are somewhere over the rainbow, nah they're not that awesome, they're on the Facebook page.

Puppet Rebellion

Hot new band on the indie scene that you're just going to love! Keep an eye out on them especially over the next couple of weeks when they'll be releasing a few more songs to their website, they currently only have the one on their but god damn its good stuff. 

Love this band's lead singer's voice, seriously, I would marry it if I could, it's so raw and a little harsh but soothing at the same time if that doesn't confuse you haha, a lot like Noel Gallagher. I would probably call them the new Oasis!

LOVE THIS BAND!!!

@JennieBmusic

I love this song - greatest lie ever told. #talent

@SweetAngel_420

I wonder what @PuppetRebellion is doing...I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna listen to their demo cause they rock :P

Harlot

Ambicon Records are now officially my new favourite people on this planet! They introduced me to Inherit The Star's music and now to this band, Harlot.

They only have two songs at the moment which are by the way absolutely amazing! I prefer their newer one, Saviour, more but Sirens isn't too far behind.

The best thing about this band is that they are Geordies which hopefully means they'll do gigs around the north east, now all I need is a friend with decent taste in music to drag around the venues, stuff that, I just need to find a friend, for some reason I doubt I'd be able to take my horse in, he'd probably want to but we might end up being kicked out.

Jackslacks

Country crossed with a little rock is the only way I can really explain this band.

If you like late 80's - 90's rock then this band are right up your street.

I suggest checking out 'Too Much Fun' (it reminds me of 'Grease' way too much!) and 'Lucky Man'. They both are really catchy and have an amazing backing track.

Jackslacks (drums and lead vocals) backing band named 'Farm Jazz'. They are: Eric Hutchinson on guitars and backing vocals, Dave Votel on bass and backing vocals and Alejandro Aste-Nieto on piano and backing vocals.

Inherit The Stars

First of all I would like to apologize for lack of posting, I've been extremely busy recently and battling my demons but I think this band may well just make up for it.

Omfg! I'm in love! This band are better than the invention of the Oreo chocolate bar. Now you know a band is great when I say its better than food.

This band is just right up my street and I'm so going to stalk them from now on. Their debut album is out 18th May which means its time for me to sweet talk my mother into giving me some money, you can listen to it on their SoundCloud page for now and believe me it is well worth a listen.

Imagine is my favourite so go and give that a listen with them things that stick out the side of your head.

KeyWest

Credit to one of the members of The Boy In The Attic for pointing me in the direction of this band. They are like an Irish version of Boyce Avenue, their voices are like an angels but then again most people with an Irish accent have a voice to die for.

'Stuck On Replay' is my favourite by them, I hope they come to the north east of England sometime soon too. Someone seriously has to tell me if they do come over here!

I can't really explain why you should check these out, their music kind of speaks for itself.

Frankie Cocozza Live

I went to see Frankie on Saturday and I must say it was the most violent, dangerous and most awesome gig I have ever been to! I so wish I could go back.

I've already done a post on Frankie before so I'm not really going to go too much into him, you'll just have to stop being lazy and go and read it.

Someone please just take me back to Saturday! I met up with some pretty awesome coconuts at the gig which was amazing, they are so lovely! Some of them went out the back to try and meet him but I had to go home so they got me a really cute video of him saying he loves me and that, go and follow them on Twitter (@rockmelouis_1D @zoelouise_x and @rebeccad123).

His new music video for Embrace is out tomorrow, which was 'fucking mental' at the gig. By the way I'm a huge coconut, follow my fan account @Cocozza_Love. 

The Coopers

So in my last post I mentioned how I saw Frankie Cocozza live at the weekend, well one of the support acts were called The Coopers and are really the only support band worth mentioning from that night.

They are quite a hippy band and damn god are amazing! The band before them were quite boring and honestly I didn't really like them, the vocals were quite off and I just didn't enjoy them but The Coopers were the complete opposite, they really entertained us, were amazing and really got the crow going.

Anyway they are a lovely band so just give them a little support and check out a song or two of theirs or my goldfish will bite you, yeah he can do that, I think its a he anyway, how do you even tell a goldfishes gender, I mean they don't have willies!

Shattervox

I could only really listen to one of their songs and it was seriously bad quality because of my broadband connection is worse than the Scouse brow but it really brought back memories of being down my grandparents and my granddad dusting of one of them vinyl records that went out of date ten years before my birth. Everyone used to groan and moan when he would bring them out but me and him used to dance about for ages to them, I still don't know who the artists were but we are all really short and hate attics so they won't ever be seen again.

Anyway, back to this band. I just get a vintage feel of their music, like they would belong in my granddad's vinyl collection. I had my granddad to listen to these yesterday and he's already downloaded all their music and has got me to keep an eye out for their next album which is due in 2014 and if they come over to the UK. I will keep trying steal my granddad's mp3 player so I can actually listen to them as I can't download the album with my broadband.

Here is a link to their Band Camp page which has a free debut album download available  so why not go and download it? Great band, free music, what more do you want? A walrus? If you check them out I'll lend you mine.

The Boy In The Attic

I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much recently but I've just had a lot going on recently, I've finally gotten a social life! But it lives and dies with my beautiful horse that I have on half loan. 

As treat and an apology I have an interview with The Boy In The Attic, it'll also be the first ever interview on here. 

Now this isn't normally the type of music I listen too but I think I need to start listening to it more often because these are out of this world! I can't really explain it, I just really like their music and I they should have a lot more eyes on them than they have at the moment. 

How old were you guys when you first got into music? 
We were all young, pre teenage years I suppose.

How did you get into music? 
We all have music in our families and were in lots of bands during our teens. 

How did you guys meet?
Our singer Danny and guitarist Paul had been in a band together before and Danny used to sound engineer for our drummer Sean's old band, our bassist Phil also had played on a band with Paul too.

Who came up with the name and idea to put together a band? 
Our singer Danny started the band and came up with the name!

What band/artist inspire you the most? 
Bands like Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Pearl Jam and Coheed and Cambria have been a massive influence on us.

First 5 songs on shuffle? 

The Beach Boys - God only knows, Incubus - Pistola, John 5 - To Die For, Killswitch Engage - Breathe life, MarK Lanegan - Out of Nowhere.

What do you think about goldfish? 
What do goldfish think about me?

Llama or miniature donkey?
Why can't the llamas and miniature donkeys get along? 

Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc? 
Monsters Ink, Sully rules!

Have you got anything you'd like to say to your fans? 
Is there anybody out there???
If so say hello on facebook.com/theboyintheattic or @boyintheattic on twitter.

Do you all forgive me then? Don't forget to check them out and comment below what you guys think. 

I've also created a Facebook page for the blog so go and give it some love, or just like it, either would do.

Black Veil Brides

I've only just started getting into this band like last month but I really like most of their music, if not, all. I was originally expecting them to be like death-core because of their look but I guess I should never judge a book by their cover, or name.

First thing I would probably ask them if I were every lucky enough to meet them is tips on make up. Seriously, they wear more than me! But that's not exactly hard at the moment, I'm all out and I've got no money to buy any, I'm actually going to the farm today with a little mascara and eye-liner on but not much, I have to save it all for Frankie Cocozza next week.

Andy Biersack's voice, lead singer, is just so amazing, its like an eargasm. He also sometimes gets called Andy Sixx, just to clear up some confusion anyone might have.

So be kind to your ears and make them listen to BVB and for those who have never heard of the before and are now in to them, get me some tickets for the next time they come to Newcastle. Still can't believe I missed them a few weeks ago.

Sky Burns Red

What would you say if I said rock meets orchestra  Crazy right, that it wouldn't work, well Sky Burns Red have clearly proved us wrong. They are so unique and are just geniuses!

I really, really like this band and I've got to keep an eye out on them, they so deserve to be big and our space on our album racks deserve to be filled with their album. By the way check out their ep on SoundCloud, the link will be at the end of the post.

I'm sorry I don't really know that much about the band, I only heard their music today but I do know that if they ever come to Sunderland or Durham I am so nagging my mother into buying me tickets.

Anyway check them out, comment what you think below and remember tell friends/followers/shoes/curtains about them but don't tell drains, I don't think they like them. Their Twitter is @SkyBurnsRedBand.

Original Rude Boys

I saw these guys last night, they were the warm up act for The Script on their UK tour and damn do they know how to warm up a crowd!

They're a mix of acoustic and hip hop. There are three members: Sean Arkins, Robert Burch and Sean Walsh. They come from Dublin, Ireland, which makes them like 10000% more attractive! I think Walsh already knows we're going to get married, he kept coming over to the side me and my friend were on and kept looking our way.

I can't really explain enough how great they were so just check them out yourself and since when have I ever been wrong about how good a band are? Exactly, most the time but I have to be right sometimes so this is probably one. Their studio work doesn't give the live gigs any justice though so if you ever see them live then I suggest you do.

Oh, one more thing. The Script were fucking (or fecking which is what me and my friend are saying from now on thanks to Glenn) awesome last night! Comment below if you're going/been to see The Script.

Comment below what you think of the Original Rude Boys and if you've heard of them before or seen them live. Check their music out and tell your neighbor/neighbor's dog/local drunken goldfish/your door.

Son Of Dork

I've briefly mentioned these in a post before but these are the band that James Bourne joined after Busted. They only ever released two singles and an album before they split up but are definitely worth checking out. The songs that they released were called Ticket Outta Loserville and Eddie's Song, both hitting in the top ten.

The reason they split up was because the band wasn't doing much so some members got bored and left leaving only two members remaining. Members still haven't given up on their dreams though and are all performing in separate bands. James would like to have a SOD reunion but says he would prefer to work with Matt Willis from his previous band, Busted.

Hopefully one day they will do a reunion but if I had to chose between Busted and a SOD reunion, I'm sorry but I'd chose Busted every time.

Check them out though and tell me what you think!

Elizabeth Grace (snacksize549)

I know I've posted quite a few cover artists already but you really need to check her out. Her singing skills are extremely amazing, she can play guitar, keyboard and ukulele outstandingly well. She has done a few originals and they are unbelievable, this girl really has talent.

If you've read my Sleeping With Sirens post you probably know I have a slight obsession with them, especially A Trophy Father's Trophy Son and that is how I pretty much stumbled across her channel, she does an epic cover of it. She has also done a cover of their 'If You Can't Hang' and Pierce The Veil's 'King For A Day' which the original features Kellin Quinn, hey maybe she has a slight obsession too? I think I may off found my new best friend but she doesn't know it yet, does that sound creepy?

Anyway, check her channel out, I promise you that you won't regret it, she is so amazing! She is one of my favourite YouTube cover artists, comment below what you think and tell your friends, your twitter followers, your cats twitter followers and any llama that you ever see in your life.

Busted

I know that these are broken up but I just love them so much, Charlie is my favourite but I just wish he would stop being a dick and do at least one tour/album with them! I love him as a solo artist don't get me wrong but who doesn't want a Busted reunion for gods sake! James and Matt are up for it.

The band broke up in 2005 as Charlie wanted to concentrate more on his other band, Fightstar, which he says is more his type of music. He also said that even though he had a great time in Busted he is happy doing his own thing, I have also previously done a post on him so check it out.

Since Busted broke up James has been in another band, Son Of Dork and I should be doing a post on them soon, and recently wrote his own musical called Loserville, if you've been to see it comment below on what you think about it. He is now concentrating on his own music and has produced a few songs under the name of Futureboy, he has also wrote a lot of songs and frequently co-rites with Tom from McFly who was originally meant to be in the band and shot to fame with McFly through supporting Busted on tour.

Matt has released a few songs since Busted but then went into the 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' jungle and has not released anything for a long time. His song 'Hey Kid' was even on 'John Tucker Must Die' which is a great film so i seriously suggest you watch it.

Comment below if you think they should get back together or not and your favourite song, mine is 'Loser Kid' and check out Son Of Dork, they were a really good band.

Fall Out Boy

Guess who's back? Well the title pretty much gives it away so, Fall Out Boy, obviously. Who's excited?! I probably would of jizzed if I was a lad I'm that happy. 

They have been in a three year hiatus (hiatus is basically a fancy word in the music industry as a break, hey I used a smart word, cool) after the release of their greatest hits album in 2009, which meant giving me three years chance of getting a social life but instead I found other bands to obsess over :/. So anyway they are back with a new single, 'My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light E'm Up)' which has probably broken records already for the second longest song title ever, the first being 'Humuhumunkunukuapua'a' from the High School Musical 2 soundtrack which took me five minutes just to type. Their new album is called 'Save Rock & Roll' which will be available April 15th, aka nine days before my 16th and perfect birthday present from me to me. 

Scream if you're really excited! Now scream some more because I didn't hear you! And now comment because no matter how loud you scream unless you live next door and can out do my music, I ain't going to hear you so comment how excited you are below. 

Listen to their new single otherwise unlike them stupid chainmails where the scare bitch doesn't come and kill you at night I will and also steal all your band merch, food and cat.

The Script

These are the most awesome band ever! I'm going to see them live on the 10th March too, I'm so excited! They are an Irish band that have been around since 2001. They currently have three amazing albums under their belts at the moment and will hopefully be bringing more out.

Some of their lyrics are so inspirational and I just don't get how they have only had one number one. Their music is so much better than some of the shit they have in the charts now, I mean who the hell can relate to Gangnam Style, or even understand 99% of the lyrics?!

If You Could See Me Now will be out on the 4th of March, lets get the boys their second number one single! If your going/been to one of their concerts then comment below or if you buy IYCSMN. What's your favourite song of theirs? Mine is Breakeven and Rusty Halo.

After the concert I'll post some photos I take.

All Time Low

I've only just really started getting into this band and I'm not their biggest fangirl out there but I love their music. They are an American called All Time Low made up of Alex Gaskarth (the sexy lead singer), Jack Baraket (the guitarist who wants herpes), Rian Dawson (the DRUMMER from ATL, he is part of the band, some stupid 'fans' tend not to recognize him or ignore him) and Zack Merrick (the bass player who explodes girls ovaries with just his abs).

They currently have five albums (Dirty Work, Don't Panic, Nothing Personal, Part Scene and So Wrong, It's Right) and are going to work on their sixth in September that should be released sometime in 2014. My personal favorites are Nothing Personal and Dirty Work, my favourite song is also Somewhere In Neverland.

Sleeping With Sirens

I know that I've mentioned these before a little but I love these so much right now. Their music is helping me so much right now with my depression, especially A Trophy Father's Trophy Son. Kellin Quinn is an amazing song writer and singer. They are an American post-hardcore band but their acoustic versions are the best. You should really check them out, they are so a good band and have pretty much saved my life, they are the reason I stopped hurting myself.

Comment below if you do check them out and tell me what you guys think!

They are also coming to the UK in May and are kicking it of in Newcastle at the Academy and I may be going to see them, I really want to go and see them and if I do I hope they sing A Trophy Father's Trophy Son so I can ring my dad.

Jimmy Eat World

I really like this band and one of their songs, Hear You Me, is in one of my all time favourite films, A Cinderella Story. They are currently unsigned but have been around since 1993, they have been signed to a few record labels in the past.

Please check them out and comment what you think. Please could you also tell people about this blog, thank you.

Black Stone Cherry

I don't know too much about this band apart from they are amazing live. They were supporting Nickelback live on their Dark Horse tour, if you get the chance to see them live then do it, they really know how to get the crowd going and if I could see them live again then I would. My favourite song of theirs is Hell and High Water.

The Mignight Beast

They are a threesome made up of Stefan Abingdon, Ashley Horne and Dru Wakely. They are so funny and are a parody band from the UK. They have had their own series which was aired on E4 which was really funny but really awkward to watch when you have your mother in the same room. They first made their way onto the YouTube scene with a parody of Ke$ha's Tik Tok and for their third anniversary treated us beasts to another of parody of her Die Young.

I love this band and they are really down to earth guys who even did signed copies of their debut album to buy from their website, unfortuneatly they don't do the signed ones anymore which is horrible as my mum confiscated it from me after hearing that 'Strategy Wanking' was on it.

Frankie Cocozza

I have been a fan of Frankie since he stepped on the XFactor stage and sang Valerie, all through the drug scandal  CokeUpTheNozza, through the loss of his best friend and I will be there until way past the end. Recently he has released out his own EP named The Motorcycle EP which includes She's Got A Motorcycle and Catastrophic Casanova which he has released videos for along with You Blew It and Little Miss No Name but they don't have a music video.

He is also doing a little tour of the UK in March, check out this here for more details and links to buy tickets. Comment below if you are going and to which gig.

Charlie Simpson

Charlie Simpson (from Busted and Fightstar) has gone solo. He already has an album out, 'Young Pilgrim', and is working on his second. Unfortunately he has said that he won't rejoin Busted, Is there any room for a Busted reunion? ‘Never in a billion years.’, unlike Matt and James. He wants to continue working on his own projects, dick. Sorry Charlie, I love you but there are 7 billion people out there who want a Busted reunion, I guess we just have to go back to our little shrines, wait , I'm not the only one with a Busted shrine am I, you know, a corner in my room with posters, size 6-7 band t-shirts, albums and candles to set the mood?

He has gone from op-rock to alternative rock that got heavier and heavier, and now to folk, its pretty obvious that this 6.3ft giant likes a change so maybe that 'never in a billion years' will be changed to a yes, I know it's a long shot and I'm just being one of them annoying optimistic cows but hey, he may, I hope!

To all you Fightstar fans I wouldn't worry too much, the band is just in hiatus, Charlie said somewhere that they were a little burnt out as they had released three records in a row. So unlike Busted their is a big chance that Fightstar will produce music again soon, lucky you Fightstar fans.

I really hope he keeps up his solo work up a little longer though, I'm not really a big fan on folk music but I really like his solo music, plus it was mainly funded by the fans when he put some things up on Pledge Music which is basically where an artist/band puts things up like signed posters or albums and the fans 'pledge' only problem is they don't take the money out until the goal is reached but if the goal isn't reached in time I don't think you get the stuff, it's really good and Starboy Nathan did one before and I even got the album the day before digital sale and two days before hard copy sale and then I got it signed again when I met him.

Some good news though, his second album should be out sometime this year, who's excited?! I am!

He has also set a world record of playing the coldest gig which is -30 degrees Celsius in Siberia. It was so cold he could barely play his guitar, yet he still did an awesome job at it. 

Comment what you think, and if there are any Pilgrims out there please comment and share!

Oh, wait! My name is Charley so I could do the Busted reunion instead! Only problem is I'm a girl, can't sing and it's spelt differently, oh well, doesn't matter. 

His world record gig.

Robbie Jay

He is a cover artist on YouTube and mainly does acoustic. I've only found out about him today when Frankie Cocozza's management retweeted the link on twitter but his voice and guitar skills are amazing! He is one of my favourite cover artists on YouTube and I would love it if you could check him out and comment what you think.

He has done covers of: Catastrophic Casanova by Frankie Cocozza, Yellow Raincoat by Justin Beiber, Suit & Tie by Justin Timberlake and many more.

His Twitter is @robbiejayy so go and give him a quick follow and check out his YouTube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/r0bbiejayy/videos?flow=grid&view=0

Wayward Daughter

Wayward Daughter are two teenage girls who do covers on YouTube, I think that they also have a few originals. My favourite cover of theirs is 'Loser Kid' which is originally sang by 'Busted' - a UK band that broke up in 2005.

Their voices and guitar skills are so amazing, it would put anyone big in the industry to shame, these girls should be signed and bringing out albums and going on tour, they are that good. Their song writing skills are also amazing! Please check them out and comment what you think below.

Boyce Avenue

They are a Rock band from America who have been warm up acts for The Goo Goo Dolls, One Direction and Switchfoot. They mainly do covers which are, in my opinion, sometimes better than the originals. All their covers are available on both iTunes and YouTube. They have two albums of all their own songs named 'All We Have Left' and 'All You're Meant To Be' which are as amazing as some of their covers. Their mash up of 'Iris' and their song 'Broken Angel' is probably my favourite. 

There are three members: Alejandro Manzano, Fabian Manzano and Daniel Manzano.

My friend told me about these a few weeks ago and I really like them. They're called The CAB and they are an alternative rock band from Las Vegas. They have two albums out called Whisper War and Symphony Soldier  SS is my personal favorite, and have been around since 2004.

My favorite songs by them are 'Endlessly' 'Angel With A Shotgun' and 'La La' which are  all from Symphony Soldier.

Their website is http://www.thecabrock.com/ which has more information about them, merchandise and tour dates when they are announced. If they do come to the UK on tour someone please buy me a ticket haha as I have introduced them to you :).
