🚨ALBUM & LAUNCH🚨
We are ecstatic to announce that we release our debut album “Life is not linear” MARCH 28th 2024
We launch at ORAN MOR 🏴 on APRIL 12th 2024
SUPER EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTED TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST 50 !!
ON SALE TOMORROW 10 AM
Our thoughts on the madness that’s been wreaking havoc on Twitter over the weekend.
@Louis_Tomlinson
with his major platform , to even consider taking a band in the same position as us and putting us on a show is an incredible gesture and it shows that he cares for the wee guys
We are in the spirt if you don’t have anything nice to say then just leave it.
Any opportunity given to a band by an act as big as
@Louis_Tomlinson
should be taken with pride. The boy is a global superstar and he’s now doing it on his own and making brilliant music.
So … last night was incredible! We got late last night it had sold oot , we sold oot SWG3 !! WTF !!
Here’s our special guest
@SILVIsounds
smashing when it hits home with us
The crowd were insane !
Massive shout out to
@zoe_young13
&
@owengibsxn
for playing strings
YAAAAAS
We know LT loves GLASGOW , we’d be honoured if any opportunity of this magnitude came to us. So if you are ever needing a support act that gets the crowd pumped up. You know were we are.
Spread the love people , be nice.
We release a new track on HALLOWEEN.
LETS FUCKIN GO x
It’s not fair to call ANYONE out but makes no sense to call out someone with the pull as big as as LT especially given that he’s giving small bands like us opportunities that takes our reach to levels we couldn’t imagine.
Every follow , stream and act of support is vital !!
