Did you know that if every single one of the people on our Facebook bought our album we’d be number one in the charts. imagine that?! A band from Merthyr Tydfil number 1. We’re not quite there but we are holding on to a top 20 spot in the charts. We need your help to stay there though.

Our album is only £3.99 on Amazon. For this week only. We would be forever grateful if you could buy our new album and spread the word to all you know that it’s the greatest party album ever written…

You can buy it here.

We appreciate and love you all. Thank you.

If you want an actual CD the good news is that we’re hosting a bunch of signings before our live shows this week where we’re opening doors early, and even if you don’t have a ticket to the show you can still buy the album, and come and meet us!
