Cheers for all your support guys
- 54 in the charts and 13 in the indie charts is pretty amazing. :o)
We are very happy and it's a hell of a coup for a small indie band on a tiny indie label.
Onwards and upwards... The first thing we are going to do is chill out for a bit and the second thing is work on getting some more radio play for songs from the new album.
The new album is out now (it's called 'What Part Of Hamfatter Do You Not Understand') and it's available all over the internet - just google it.
Also, on the back of the chart success we should be able to get copies in-store at major record shops - so, look out for it in your local HMV/Virgin etc. etc.
We've had some great reviews so far – with more coming in all the time:
'Gleefully bounding indie pop... delightfully fresh.'
- Metro
'A hugely entertaining listen. 4/5'
- The Sun
'The year’s best kept indie secret is here.'
- Word Magazine
'Hamfatter are as refreshing as a lemon sorbet in the Kalahari desert.'
- Hi Fi News
Many thanks for your support.
