The band have been busy putting the finishing touches to the new album and let us tell you it is sounding Grrrrreat (as Tony the Tiger would put it). We head in to the studio to mix the album in May once our dear producer Carl "Bongos Wurlitzer" Rosamond has dragged himself back from a world tour with Zoot Woman. The 14 songs that will be featuring on the album are as follows (in no particular order): "Set your sights a little higher", "Small town beauty queen", "A manager, a lawyer and label", "Step into the mantrap", "Beware of Sarah", "Two faced", "This is where the trouble begins", "You should know what to do", "You might like to reconsider it", "Exception to the rule", "An apology for Joanne", "Into the wild", "Call of the wild" and "Surfin' Dave". All of them are of course under 2 minutes long.

The observant amongst you will have seen that we are adding lot's of live dates to our schedule and we are working on adding a lot more as well so stay tuned.

Finally the band have also been writing for the IS album after the next album (No 8). Some of you will already have caught some of the tunes live and have told us you are really liking them. You can currently hear 2 of the brand new demos on our MySpace page (the link is at the top of this page). Check them out and let us know what you think.

Good lord it's been a while. For many of you it is a "Happy New Year" and I am sure you are wondering where we have been and what the hell have we been playing at?

Sadly our other lives have been slowing things down a little but 2008 looks set to be a rather fun packed and exciting affair as we return to normal speed. Firstly we are now 5 having grown a new member in a pot. He has now fully matured and is ready to be utilised in our continuing quest for cult status. Everyone say welcome to Ian our new man in the band. Brought in to mainly reduce the freakishly average height of the band he will also be contributing stereo guitar, whirring keyboards and generally beefing up the wall of sound.

So as you can see the cat is out of the bag regards the new album. It will indeed be called Instant Species Miraculous Curative Compound and it will also come packaged in a lovely tin. It will contain 14 tracks each under 2 minutes in length and it will be ace. We are finishing it as we speak and hope to aim for a late spring release. This is the place we will keep you posted.
