Been on their website and all kinds of rumours seem to be flying around at present, that the label have dropped them. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised as they've sat on this band for in excess of 2 years and it's absolutely criminal when you look at the success of the likes of utterly derivartive Pigeon Detectives. If it's true I cannot imagine how the band must feel after all the work they've put in. If any of them can bring themselves to let the good people know exactly what is going on then that would be really good. I'm sure they can continue although it must be very difficult times. There are people out there who obviously would continue to support them. I'm still holding out hope that the label will actually release the album properly so I can get my hands on a copy and make sure the band gets some of the cash.

I reckon the whole throwing of free stuff may have been a bad thing :( I think it may mean there won't be any more Fear of Music!!! I fucking hope I'm wrong!

I saw them perform with The Humour, and they were brilliant. And then they came out afterwards with a wad of CD's and started chucking EVERYTHING out. Vinyls, the EP, tshirts. Shame I couldn't seen them after, I'd have forced them to take some money because this CD is way too good to have been free.

I like this band an awful lot having discovered them by accident last year when I got my hands on the second ep. I cannot understand why they aren't already household names or why A Western Disease is not pushing to the top of the listening chart.
