Foxie's Rant Box

Yea, ok, it’s usually always the same……..

“The Rules Of Division”
Yup, we band guys have been in the studio recording, mixing, and mastering, for over a month now, the album that will be known as “The Rules Of Division” with Russ. It’s fair to say we’ve gone a little goggle eyed and ear fatigued in pursuit of the Audio Holy Grail. There’s been long days, and short nights, with a lot of Jack Daniels and Kraken consumed, not to mention pizza, but it’s finally taking shape with just a few tweaks to go. It’s sounding pretty darn good right now and is certainly a deviation away from the old rules of engagement, not to mention the sans fiddle approach for the first time since 1997. More guitar and everything louder than everything else, with a little bit of mando spice added to the mix. Cool cats, cool tunes, cool riffs, & cool dudes abound with a hey diddle diddle I can’t hear no fiddle. We are even doing a couple of videos to go with, yes, a couple of the tunes.

Everything will be revealed, and we have also engaged the services of a top graphic artist (a proper drawing person named Gail to you and me) to do a unique album concept. Oh shit, it all sounds highly professional. Well mostly, if you discount the ice box we recorded in amongst the abandoned old studio gear and fridges, the bedrooms & office units we mixed in, the attic we mastered in and yes more bedrooms, with a touch of nice studio thrown in, and the car we checked the digital final files all out in (no valves this time except my guitar amps boooh). Oh yea, much better than 6 weeks in the Caribbean recording at a top notch studio with Sony paying for it. Hint hint Mr Sony. Fair to say we are nearly broke again, the odd £50 aside.

Gigs starting in March 2018 have been posted up so please go looksy.

In the meantime, the Russians have bought off the Tory Government, it only costs £800,000 and even Trump is defending the Russians. What word are we living in post Brexit? And our music becomes more pertinent than ever. Especially when you listen to some of the songs we have recorded like “All Fall Down” & “Three Wise Monkeys”. My fave is “This Nature” because it’s a Radio 1 song ha ha and no swearing. Otherwise, if you are taking to twitter to wage war on the Tories, fire for effect but keep it factual and abuse free (yes that’s right kids those Tories are sensitive souls unless they are killing the disabled). The only thing they don’t know yet is that they’re finished, it’s that Westminster bubble ain’t it, but I’m pretty sure they know they are total asses already.

For those of you visiting this page for the first time, here is a jargon buster:

'Hearts Attack' means gigs
'Hearts Propaganda' means biog
'Hearts Noize' means music
'Hearts Pix n Mix' means photo/video
'Hearts Doshswap' means merchandise

The rest are hopefully self-explanatory (-:

News Proper
We are just finishing off the new album “The Rules Of Division”. We are planning an April release with maybe a launch gig a bit later on. We do things the wrong way round you should know that by now.

Gigs
Gigs are always being worked on and come in slowly because we’re rubbish at that sort of thing, so watch the GigBox, not GoggleBox, but the GigBox, or better still visit “Hearts Attack” which will tell you everything you need to know, apart from the meaning of life because you’ll find that in beer, chocolate, Jack Daniels and pizza. Yea, seriously, you don’t need to go to a summer camp or headshrink, although it may be recommended for some. So save yourself some money and spend it all on living and enjoying stuff. One life innit.

Peace & Love with the occasional necessary disturbance to keep things fresh.

All the best,
Foxie, Gel, Ewan, Riley
