Howdy :-)
I was wondering who did the artwork on your releases? Do you just use one artist or have you used a few, and how did you find them?
Your picture vinyl, by the way, is without a doubt the most beautiful piece of merchandise I have ever owned. Keep it up! xx
Hey thank you so much. The artists are actually all friends/fans of the band and a few people that we really admire. One of the 12” inlays with the picture disk has all their details in. You found those right?

Hi there! I met Tom a week ago at the Josh Ritter show in Pocklington where I gushed to him about your/his band and he hooked me up with some records. I just wanted to say thank you, I'm really enjoying them and hope you guys can make it Stateside soon. I'd love to see you all live. Keep in touch! xo
Hey! Great to hear from you! Tom told me all about meeting you - it sounded awesome! Wish I could’ve met you all and been at the gig too, sounded great! Really glad you’re enjoying the records :) Keep in touch and hopefully see you across the ocean one day! Sophie xx p.s. That Explosions vinyl looks SO tasty!!
Our impromptu street team
As mentioned on our Twitter and Facebook page recently, we need your help.
Normally, I do a big mail out to promote our releases, where I send the music to newspapers, magazines, zines, websites, blogs, etc for review. But since I’ve been at home caring for my mum, we’ve not been able to contact as many people as we’d like.
The support that our fans provide is always huge, and above and beyond anything we’d ever expect - you’re our extended friends and family. And I know you’ll be amazing members of our impromptu street team!
I know not everyone will want to/be able to take part, but I’d be really heart-warmed if we could do this together :)

Has any of your music charted anywhere?
I’m afraid not! It would be really cool if it did - wish Top of the Pops or CD:UK were still going, so I could perform on TV with popstars!
