I'd rather be sailing

I'd rather be sailing

04.03.10

Is it wrong that I'm already thinking about the weekend with two days to go? Of course not I hear you all murmur whilst gazing into your monitors. 

I've nothing much of interest to inform you about today, yet... so I'll just crack on and present our release of the day... 

Today's featured release
The Eastern - Arrows

Arrows is The Eastern's second full-length album, following their self-titled 2009 debut and a clutch of EPs.

Tight on the heel's of a year which would see most bands wilt at the workload, The Eastern are inspired, excited and ready to hit the road with a concise, rockin' record sure to match the expectations of their growing, loyal and supportive audience.

Rolling like a band with nothing to lose and a lifetime of kicks and sadness behind them, Arrows sees the band passionate and ready to put it down on stage after stage after stage for as long as the road may rise.
