And all of a sudden it was January.

Beardrock reviewed The Fierce And The Dead - http://www.beardrock.co.uk/unsigned/fierce-and-dead

Incredibly Echoes Radio played my album across 130 radio stations in the US - http://www.echoes.org/ie.intro2echoes.html - proper radio play ( I wish i could do that in the UK)

Had my photo taken and did an interview for the March edition of classic rock Prog magazine. Really nice people.

A couple of really supportive blog posts about my music:

The Yonks EP I played on with Lextrical came out http://yonks.bandcamp.com/album/yonks-alpha (and sold surprisingly well - thanks much)

As a group the people on my Facebook music page designed an add for Classic Rock Prog by giving me feedback on the design - the ad is now in the current issue of the mag, thank you :)



Konk studios Crouch End, London


Stephen Goodman did an amazing ambient version of my track Ghost on http://mattstevens.podbean.com/

We made some 13/8 T-shirts - http://www.checkmineout.co.uk/index.php?page=tshirt&section=detail&design_id=1587&mem_id=88888999

I visited the Guardian offices near Kings Cross - amazing building:



And did lots of recording for album number 3 - 6 songs done - sounding surprisingly heavy!! Kev was brilliant, really creative. He even did some BV's for my guitar "lead vocal".

Did a Ustream and it went OK (until I ran out of rehearsed songs!).

And the Fierce and the Dead returned with a new song.

And that was January.
