We're working on the theory that Armitage's renown in poetry circles is good for exactly one play in this matter, and after that the listener's patience and attention will understandably be at a premium, and we will live or die on the music itself, which is as it should be. We've got a studio booked for the middle of November to put out another Double A-Side, and I think that's the point people will either lose patience with us - at which time Armitage's reputation takes a serious hit - or decide we're a proper band, regardless of whether they like us or not.<BR/>Thanks for writing about us.<BR/>Craig Smith<BR/>The ScaremongersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
