Today we have added short clips of each song from the new album. We have also set 3 older songs to be available for free mp3 download (these are lower quality than Itunes etc). The free tracks are High (alternate take), Sometimes & Seasons Changing and can be found on the "music" page.

It has come to our attention that people keep searching the site for the lyrics to our songs. We just haven't got round to adding them yet but will do so in the very near future. It is likely they will be on the "music" page under each song heading. (Birdman lyrics are already there if you click on the song title)

Seasons Changing has been awarded "Track of the Day" at Garageband.com and will be available for free download on the 21st April.

Our Snocap store is now up and running featuring both albums available for download as individual tracks.

We hope to make use of this in future by adding rare tracks and alternate versions etc

If you are a fan of our music we would love you to post this store on your own page, website, blogs etc using the "spread the word" feature at the top of the store.

The store can be found by following the link to the "Home" page or the "Buy" page.

Happy downloading!
