BEERZONE sell out !
No, don't worry, we havent decided to start singing about how nice the sky is or how we 'want-to-do-it-to-you-all-night-baby-yeah' (we didn't mean THAT kind of sell out). The news is that the vinyl version of Strangle All The Boybands had to be re-pressed within six weeks of release by Austrian label DSS Records. So we think its best you try and get a copy before they go again ...

Nov 19th
Thanks to everyone for the time and effort you made in traveling to watch the band play with The Damned in Brighton on Monday. It was a highly prized night which did not go unnoticed as the promoters have now given the band some very sought after shows.

Thank you
Thank you to all the bands, pub staff and people who attended the all-dayer at the Junction in Burgess Hill on Saturday 6th October, who all contributed to make it a huge success and thanks to you all.
