Hello everybody,
It has been 20 years since the initial release of Final Straw. We wanted to mark the occasion by releasing an anniversary edition.
The first ‘single’ is the original demo of Chocolate. But it’s not really a single just a wee preview.
We are currently finishing recording of our new album and that will, all being well, be out this year. It is going really well. We’re so excited for you to hear it.
First though we did feel like it was apt to celebrate (a little) the album that changed our lives. We don’t like looking back too much, and when we do we prefer to create new versions of the songs (like reworked) so we aren’t repeating ourselves but this felt like a big one and not doing something felt odd. We have tried to put as much extra things on each version as we can.
The Final Straw tour took us from playing to tiny pubs all the way up to playing arenas in the space of 2 years so this album changed everything. More to the point YOU changed everything by buying the album and coming to see us play. Thank you for doing that then and for coming back to see us over the years and buying our other albums. It means so much to us and we are so grateful.
Lots of love and hopefully see you at shows in the future too.
SP.x
