2012-ing

It's 2012. The year when the world either ends, or doesn't. A bit like every year then.

Ok, so we have a few things on our 2012 agenda. Number one is that we are playing "Sea Monsters 2" on January 24th. For those who don't know, Sea Monsters is a week when all the best bands in Brighton play shows at The Prince Albert. We're very happy to be playing this and it leads us on to point two. We will have a new track called 'The Arcade Grave' coming out on a double CD compilation of all the bands playing Sea Monsters. This will be available at the shows and then available everywhere some time after the shows. Super cool! Then finally, point three. While recording the track for the comp we went and recorded a whole album. We did all the guitars and drums in a day and have been doing vocals between Christmas and New Year and now I think they are all done. So know what? Mixing, mastering and then letting everyone get to hear it. We're really happy with how it is shaping up and can't wait to get it all finished. So more news on that soon, but until then, get tickets for Sea Monsters.

It's nearly Christmas and Soft Arrows are getting festive. We've recorded a special cover of Elvis classic 'Blue Christmas' which is being released as part of OIB Records "Krampus Is Coming vol 3" compilation, which comes in the form of a Christmas jumper with USB stick. No kidding. Order it HERE.

We're also playing the launch party for the comp at The Green Doors Store in Brigthon on December 22nd. The show is FREE and features our good buddies Rooks and Jimi Swells annd a bunch of other great bands and DJs. We're planning on throwing a Christmas covers section into our set to make it extra special.
