My So Called Reality 2). DOXA 3). Awake 4). Losing Faith. The boys took this opportunity to let the fans know a little more about themselves and the upcoming gigs. James: “Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!” A quality quote right at the end of the session. “We finished with ‘Losing Faith’ which was smoking!” “It was a really chilled atmosphere and in the end it felt like a real relaxed jam in our front room, but don’t get me wrong, we were tight.”In terms of gigs, band's keeping much of July free since we'r going to be away writing new material...already got lots of exciting stuff to finish off from the last trip !!August saw ‘The Passenger’ become signed to London based record company ‘A List’ with a double A side single deal and potential for more.The Pontardwe festival (August 2006) saw the band play an electrifying seven song set.
