Happy New Year 🤘🏻
Bit of a quiet 2025 for us as we knocked the gigs on the head at Easter to start the process of getting album #4 together.

But we did get to play some awesome gigs with Slomosa and at the Siege of Limerick before we notched up our 200th and 201st shows and took a step back from the live arena.

New songs are sounding mighty, there's still some work to be done, but album 4 will arrive this year and we'll see you somewhere on the road in 2026!

Wishing you all a happy and peaceful new year.

What a fantastic weekend we just had. Our 200th gig in Voodoo Belfast on Saturday night and then our 3rd appearance at Siege of Limerick on Sunday. A huge thank you to Solothurn band and everyone who supported us and cheered us on. We love and appreciate you all. 🤘

A special mention as always to James Loveday and The Distortion Project for your continuing help and support. Also to Metal for Life NI for attending and doing great work, and to Gillian Kansanaho for manning our merch stand so professionally. 🤘

A huge thank you to Bad Reputation IRL and the staff at Dolans Limerick for booking us and making the Siege of Limerick the amazing day it always is. 🤘

This weekend brings to a close our Simple Beasts era. We will now take some time to write and record a new album, hopefully ready by early 2026.

Cheers,
D/G/G

Last practice before this weekends shows in Voodoo Belfast and at the Siege of Limerick

For the 200th show we're playing songs off all 3 albums. Could be the last time some of them ever get played live as we'll need to make room in future sets for the upcoming album 4 classics 😉
Better come down and give the old guard the send off they deserve 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

See you at the weekend!
