This Is The End

This band has been everything to us for the past four years. We have toured the length and breadth of the UK countless times and shared the stage with some truly amazing bands, and some god-awful ones, played to packed crowds, and on many occasions just the bar-man and promoter. Every second of it has been incredible, and we wouldn’t change a single thing.

Last night all four of us met to discuss the future for the band and ourselves as individuals. It has become apparent over the last few months that we have reached a fork in the road. Carrying on as we have been, the next stage would be to write another record, and set the wheels in motion for another year or so of touring. However, this is a commitment unfortunately not all of us can make.

Over the years we have supported ourselves by working where we can, doing mundane part-time jobs to get by. We have also relied heavily on the generosity of our families, allowing us to live at home, and supporting us in our decision to do the band full time. The time has come to make a change.

This band has never been about making money or being the next sensation. It’s important everyone understands that we are nothing more than four best friends being creative, expressing ourselves, and using our music as a vehicle to travel wherever it will take us.

As we have left it, the band is not finished entirely. It will be impossible not to write music now and again, and maybe even record some if we find time, but for now we won’t be playing anymore shows. For this we are truly gutted, and wish the circumstances were different.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our band in any way possible; the fans, our friends and families. What we have achieved and experienced would never have been possible without you. Please continue to enjoy our music and spread the word.

Peace & Love,
Steve, Chris, Rob and Sam.

'Crystal Clear' Live In Session

Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms

We woke up at Steve’s place and his family were hosting a wedding. Everything looked very posh so we made a speedy exit to crazy chick’s café nearby. I noticed Marti Pellow from Wet Wet Wet getting out a Mercedes, and entering a tanning salon. I thought it was him, but to confirm his number plate said V3 Wet. Either a legend or an idiot either way you slice it.

We hit the road; looking forward to the show but gutted it was the last night of tour. When we got there everyone had already sound checked, and the room was massive. The stage looked and sounded the best of the whole tour. The que was getting bigger and bigger and everyone was so up for the show.

I’m not just saying this because it seems as though we said it every night on the tour, but this was honestly the most fun show we have ever played as a band. The crowd were so awesome, walls of death, circle pits and sweat. The stage was huge, the sound was huge, our bro’s side stage, everything was sick. Portsmouth was seriously a fun time.

Young Guns smashed it, and Steve went on stage for a heavy drop and everyone went nuts. We all invaded the stage on the last song, I got my manhood ripped apart by a security dude after crowd surfing and nearly landing on my neck in the photo pit.

We were very sad to end the tour, but so happy we went out on a high note. Cheers to both Save Your Breath and Young Guns for such wicked tour. And cheers to everyone who came out to the shows.

Swindon Furnace

So we once decided about two and a half years a go that it would be a good idea to pile into a car and head to Swindon to watch Young Guns play the furnace. Truth be told the show itself was not the busiest I have ever seen, and it’s quite an accommodating venue. A few years later, and once again a que is forming outside.
To me this venue feels like a nineties MTV in session studio or something with the balcony. The show was rad and the people were great. Young Guns bloody smashed the living shot out of it. Highlight was Jon climbing a speaker stack for a big drop, and leaving his pedal on its tuner. He then proceeded to lap the venue, and do many guitar swings. Awesome…

London Barfly

Last time we played the Camden Barfly it was amazing. And going on how good this tour had been so far, we expected something similar. London didn’t disappoint, it was a wicked show, although the people outside of the capital can be a bit more vibing. Highlight was Steve splitting the crowd and standing on the bar.

After the show we all hung out with our respective managers etc… and there was a great vibe in the gym. Then we got a falafel and went home. Cheers London
