20/06/09 | Videophone Adventure 03

Hi dudes,

The latest in our videophone adventure series is now up on YouTube. Check us out demoing a new song at a flat in Nottingham. We did three songs, but for some reason I only had footage of one of them, and only one part of that one. Anyway, it was fun and hopefully there'll be more little videos popping up soon. Check it out!

Have a good weekend! Good bybe!

Thousands of Reflections - or ToR - are a four-piece alternative rock band from Nottingham (UK). Adam Barnes & Aidan Blenkinsopp play guitar and handle vocal duties along with Simon Curd who also plays bass, with James Housley on drums.

ToR released their debut EP 'Drones & Sharp Teeth' on Headroom Records in November 2008. Recorded by Guy Elderfield at Random Recordings in Nottingham, ‘Drones & Sharp Teeth' saw a limited release in 2007 and has met with excellent reviews, which praise the band for their rich harmonies and strong melodies, and for their idiosyncratic and creative songwriting approach and sound. 'Drones & Sharp Teeth' is now available to buy from our shop and from many other retailers.

ToR are currently writing material for their next release, due in 2010, and will continue gigging between now and then.
