We are looking to build on the success of our debut album Hiya with a new release on the Rising Records label scheduled for 6 June 2005. Producer Mark Daghorn mixed the album on the Focusrite console Phil Spector recorded Starsailor on. Shellshock will take care of the distribution into the shops.

A full press and radio promotion campaign will be run to coincide with the release of the new album and the band is going on a full British tour in May/June 2005, which will culminate in an HMV showcase, to support the record.

With ten sparkling new songs by Nigel Clothier, the new album, entitled Radiocity, is expected to take the band to new heights of artistic and commercial success.
