Cut The Blue Wire
A five piece band from Portsmouth, Hampshire. After forming in Spring 2007 the band went on to tour all over the Country and recorded a well received 5 track Demo We are Wolves, We are not Loved, Airplay from Radio One's Huw Stephens followed, alongside coverage in national press (Rock Sound, The Fly) and online (Pennyblack, Subba Cultcha), the band are well recognised as an exciting prospect, with Daniel Lloyd-Jones of EMI Music Publishing and illustrious London club night another music = another kitchen tipping them as ones to watch in 2008 and Martha Shandur from XFM proclaiming them as having "fierce tunes and are rather exciting'.
In 2008 the band show no signs of slowing down, having signed with Alcopop records (Data.Select.Party, Sam Isaac) Early in the year. The band are releasing their first digital single Everest in Early May with a strictly limited hard copy version which also features B-side Race to the King. This will be accompanied by both video and online promotion along with the band having complete a tour with friends Blue Sky Summer in March and going out with The Getaway Team (Easy Tiger Records) In July. The latter tour will coincide with the band releasing their debut E.P and second release for Alcopop ready for summer.
The band will play anywhere in the UK just get in touch with them either via myspace or through email - ctbwband[at]gmail.com!
If you could put this in your page or in a bulletin that would be absolutely amazing.

'The combination of aggression and pop is infectious'
'Sentiments of At The Drive-In, the soul of Enter Shikari and the twister ambience of Bloc Party'
'They have fierce tunes and are rather exciting.'
'Post-emo pop? Pop-progmo? This is a sound waiting for a catchy name to be pinned on it'
'It would not be a surprise to see the five piece sharing much larger stages, with those at the forefront of the scene, in the not-too-distant future'
We are endorsed and thoroughly like wearing
The Bread and Butter Collection
which are super cool and super limited, plus they're all fair trade, good quality and generally cool!
"Everest" Live in Leicester
