first of all a big apology for not doing this sooner. there has been a lot of stuff we should have kept people up to date with and we are all guilty
as charged of neglect. my daughter sam started this site over two years ago as a bit of fun, she told me "lots of bands have my space sites." i didn,t
imagine today we would end up with 20,000+ friends so when people ask to put this and that on the site, songs, pictures etc. they might as well ask me
to cycle to the moon! i,m a drummer for christ sake ! " an alcoholic who hangs around with musicians" was the definition i was once told. further appy
polly loggies go to everyone who has either offered or enquired about booking us for gigs. we are only doing the one this year at wolverhampton, but i
hope i can persuade the old buggers to do a bit more next year. but we have not been idle. on 6th june 2005 ( a date i remember ,cause it,s sams
birthday) we met up for the first time with lars frederiksen from rancid. he told us he would like to work with us to produce an album. 2 years later
it,s finally recorded. (shows you the speed we work at!) we are all thrilled with the result. its our first studio album for ten years and the best
thing we have done since "shock troops" writing, rehearsing and recording it was just like the old days, their were strops, sulks, arguements, walk
outs, laughs, and a fair amount of drinking. all that was missing was a good old punch up! but i guess we,re getting to old for that. but the end
result was worth it. it,s in the hands of mr frederiksen now for the mix. should be released about october, hopefully.
anyway thats me done for now , i,ll try to get sam to post a few pictures that she has taken in the studio and change a few of the songs, once again
sorry if i haven,t got back to everyone but i,ll do me best!
OI OI and all that, steve bruce , cock sparrer.newbreedbrian - 7-17-2007 at 12:20 PM
awesome, can't wait to hear it. as much as it kills me to say it the last album was pretty weak. some good songs for sure but overall pretty
disappointing considering what a great comeback album guilty as charged was. that album is as good as anything they ever did. been one of my favorite
bands for half my life and always will be.MyOwnWay - 7-17-2007 at 12:24 PM

I am. And I'd be even more excited if they made it to the States for more than one show all the way across the country!Discipline - 7-19-2007 at 06:24 PM
