Bonjour!
It's been a while! Thanks to everyone that checked us out on our recent UK tour, we really enjoyed listening to your requests and playing some of the old favourites. And cheers to Dave from Kids Can't Fly for providing some great saxophone. We've been recording our version of 'Totally Addicted To Bass' with our old pal Christophe Bride (who engineered Turbo, STC and Ruff Guide) this weekend which has been great fun and the first time that we've actually recorded with James. We've got tours of India and Europe with Less Than Jake still to come this year, but first we're going to be visiting France and Belgium with our first proper release there in the guise of 'Rude Awakening'.
The CD version of 'Rude Awakening' is 16-tracks of SB6 punk-rock favourites and is going to be released in France on Guerilla Asso, the awesome punk-rock label ran by Till and the guys from our pals Guerilla Poubelle (who, some of you may remember, toured the UK with us way back in 2007). You can check out Guerilla Asso and the many magnificent things that they've done over at their website HERE. To celebrate the release, we're even going to be playing a FREE show in Paris! Or, to get into the spirit of things, a CONCERT GRATUIT à Paris ! :)

Back here in the UK, we have teamed up with Manchester-based designer Katie Crush Clothing to bring you our best designs as hot new dresses and tops. 5 of our most popular t-shirts have been chopped up and reconstructed to create individualised clothing especially for the ladies! Katie Crush clothing is a DIY label based in Manchester who creates distinctive DIY clothing with a sweatshop-free, punk-rock ethos and an emphasis on fun. Below are just a couple of designs... We're proud to be stocking a full range over in the Crushtomised page of the SB6 store HERE.
Also over in the SB6 store we've got limited amounts of coloured 'Ruff Guide To Genre-Terrorism' vinyl. This pressing of our debut album was released by US label Asbestos Records and we've managed to get our hands on some copies, available now in Black, White, Yellow and - proving to be extremely popular - Red. Order one HERE before they fly away! There's also a whole host of new stock that's been added to the store including the purple Street Fighter style shirts so go and take a look HERE. Go on! You've just been paid. :)
Alrighty then! I've got a new Blog up over at Barney's Blogspot HERE answering various questions tackling subjects from hardcore punk to pre-SB6 band Grimace. Remember to keep those questions coming in to barney@sonicboomsix.co.uk and we'll try and answer every single one. Also, thanks to everyone who has been contributing to the Facebook page recently. We've had tons of feedback and discussion there and it's really helped us in coming to decisions (even if when you guys told us what you'd like to hear on the next record we came to realise that the only thing we are certain of is that we were never going to please you all!) But we thank you all for the response... if you haven't already, come and join the discussions and daily updates over at our Facebook HERE.
Speak soon then...
