Woody's Round-Up

Unpopular Culture
Alistair Fitchett described Oh What a Life... as "really rather magical" and played us on his radio show. go and visit him . he's really very nice.
Indie-Mp3
described goes out as a gorgeous 60s tinged pop song. visit them for all your indie pop needs.
Hits In The Car
we love stytzer and his blog. his was the first blog to feature us and it's full of great writing about great bands. he's good at rumours too....
A New Band A Day
we like this site. we were featured for a day. it doesn't sound very long but in the world of indie pop it's about the same as a century. they said Their songs shine and glisten. ….a perfect example of how a good chord change can loosen the most knotted muscles in your neck as your brain is distracted by the sheer luxury of sound.
Bottle Rocket
Our debut release is on a cloudberry compilation 3”cdr given away with bottle rocket fanzine 7. It might be sold out. It might not. It probably is though. Bottle Rocket is great and everyone knows it.
Indie Pages

our first single
