Greetings pop-pickers.
It's been great to see you guys on the Beat tour this week. There's a great review of the London show over on Punktastic, go take a ganders HERE.
The big news is that today we start pre-orders on our new album City of Thieves. The pre-ordered copies directly from us are going to be the special digipak edition of the album which includes a fold out poster of the wonderful Dan Mumford artwork in all it's spectacular glory. These are strictly limited to a thousand copies and - to add to the wonder of it all - we will be signing all the posters ourselves and sending them out first class on Friday 17th of April. This digipak special edition will not be in the shops, it will only be available directly from us at Rebel Alliance Recordings. Come and order your special edition HERE. The standard edition will hit the shops on Monday April 20th.
To whet your appetite further, we've put up the new tune 'The Concrete We're Trapped Within (It's Yours') over on the myspace. Please keep the comments coming in! We really do appreciate your thoughts and input. Over the next few weeks, we're gonna be putting up an album preview, a viral video, yet another tune and there are plenty of other promo shenanigans planned so keep checking back. Click HERE to hear the new song!
The City of Thieves tour will take place across May. Our Rebel Alliance cohorts Random Hand will support! Here’s those dates – hope to see you there!
