About Me


Yes, it's early 2008 and a new HEY GRAVITY! single 'SLIPPING THROUGH THE CRACKS/WAKE UP is set for release.
To coincide with the UK dates at the end of last year we sent preview copies of some of the album tracks to UK radio and tastemakers and got a fantastic response, including being played by Zane Lowe on Radio 1 - Fantastic! He featured us on his fresh meat feature and put us to an audience vote - which we won! Anyway, this prompted the Botchit & Scarper label (home of Atomic Hooligan) to offer to put the single out and now it is scheduled for release in the UK on both download and vinyl.

Sounds Like: asked who we sound like - hopefully like noone else of course... lol.. u know more than us.. um. Though we recently got to play our first gigs in France and one of the reviews (roughly translated) came up with the following "imagine a lion who had Queen Adreena for dinner and decided to kidnap The Cramps and forced them to play unreleased Blondie songs faster than Motorhead" ;-)
- See... what a load of crap but for the moment we can live with that. You tell us who we sound like - message us..
