the gossip...
 
01/09/05 > well, its been a while...too long...way too long.  probs with pc's and web updates, laziness and all the usual sh1te.  the good news - we're still together and still writing.  although admittedly not as much as we should, things are as busy as ever.  caroline is still living down in manchester, j is still actively adding to the population crisis and stuart has almost given up everything and became a student - 'again'.  caroline has been doing some top work with 'cathode' and 'andrew hodson' and keep your eyes peeled for a release or two.  we're treating you to a new fwl mp3 too - 'the bomb'. its quite an old song...but a good 'un which can be listened to via the mp3 button.  enough treats for now...thanks for listening...
 

26/10/04 > hot off the press...the compilation 'the beach will decide' has been realeased on innocent freefall records. our track 'at a time like this' appears on it. check out there website where they have details on how you can pick up a copy - its only 3 quid too, we don't know how they do it for the money!
