Hello,
We have been out of the loop, underground, locked away and kept out of direct sunlight for a while now whilst letting a few new things ferment with the new record. We thought it best to let you know that none of us are dead and we all have a complete set of limbs and senses.
There is a lot of exciting news to come but at the moment we are still recording and getting everything in line for the next phase of events.
Stay smiley.

Saw this outside a store in Fremantle, Wes Australia and thought it was pretty much the best sign I have ever seen.
Here is a little shot of just a fraction of the amazing gear that we are getting to run our sound through whilst recording our debut album!
Just a small section of the outrageous gear that we get to run our sounds through at the amazing Greenmount Studio. The album is coming together very nicely indeed!
So here is my (Luke) amp setup for our debut album that we are recording at the moment, what you see is an original 60s vox ac15, a 1960 Fender and a brand new JMI twin 15.
BOOOOOOM!
Hello! So it is Tuesday and we thought to celebrate the 3rd day in the studio recording our debut album here in Leeds we would post up this acoustic video of our song Snatch The Tongue.
BOOOOOOM!
A little sneak peak from the Video of our full band live session we did for the BBC, video coming soon.
Hello there people, we are doing a live session this evening on BBC Manchester, you can listen on this link, http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_manchester
We are playing a song never aired before, it is gonna be on our debut album, excited to get it out on the airwaves
Hope you guys enjoy.

Here is a picture of my setup (Luke) down at The Lodge, our little rehearsal room here in Leeds where we are balls deep in pre production for our Debut Album. There is something strangely addictive about pedals, any guitarists or bassists, lets not leave out the bassists, as you may see soon, Phil has a righteous pedalboard himself. I love buying new pedals and checking out crazy dudes companies who make strange pedals out in some shed in the middle of nowhere. I admit that sometimes the boutique fancy hand painted graphics can make you think that one is better than the other when really it may not be. Although sometimes they really are and they make you get a pedal boner you could swing from. Anyways LONG LIVE THE REIGN OF THE PEDAL!
Big thanks to the mighty fine people over at Punktastic for this most splendid write up about us.
You can check it out here.
Cheers guys!

So to say that we are excited would be a massive understatement, our second single is going to be released through Gumption? Records this coming 21st of May! Free download as well, so your pennies can remain safely in your piggy bank.
OH YEAH!
I was going shopping for a cello today, cause i am just that fucking cultured and well civilised and I saw this sign and thought it was just so outrageously ridiculous that my middle finger sprung up and said ” get me the fuck involved in this” so I could not resist and obliged! it is literally the smallest car park I have ever seen as well.
Okay so we can now confirm that we are playing the opening show for what is sure to be a fucking bad ass event. Put together by a group of people jam full of focus, drive and integrity. Their mission is to bring the best kind of party to the best kind of people, click on this link to get the lowdown in their own words.
Thanks to everyone that left their nice warm houses and made the effort to come to the gig at 93 Feet East on Brick Lane last Thursday, we had all manners and shades of fun sweating and screaming around on stage, you guys were fucking bad ass. Next London gig is gonna be even bigger, will release details soon enough. Luke, Phil & Evan x
Obviously drugs are not the best of things to spend your time doing but I am glad that this video highlights how much better rollerskating is than doing those wheelless disco light lacking narcotics
Honestly these guys at roller kingdom are breaking both cinematic and social barriers, the old schoolness of this clip is fucking rad, spread it around and lets make rollerskating cool again, hold on actually when was it NOT! Yeah thats right my typing may have some mistakes cause I did it from my smart phone while kicking ass at roller kingdom!
YEEEEEAHHHHHH BOIIIIIII!
Yo, hello, good day and POW,
In case you missed any of the information in my rambling little video here it is in full letter based form, ooooooh how fancy indeed!
Not long now til our first gig of 2012, with Phil being away travelling in Australia and growing one mighty mighty beard we have had a bit of down time in terms of live music. We have still been working on a big platter of face melting new music to smash into your ear holes though. This gig is in East London on Brick Lane at awesome venue called 93 Feet East and cause we love you all so much we made sure that this show was going to be free free free!
The lovely people at hit the floor magazine asked us or at least me (Luke) some questions and this link right here will take you to the page where them there words be living. The words are held up miraculously in cyber space by some unknown force, almost like the jedi force I imagine but not with such a strict policy on who gets to access it. In fact the internet is probably got the most lenient door policy of anywhere, except China and North Korea that is.
This is how they should explain all things biological to kids at school, I would have paid way more attention if they did. x
Last night we braved all kinds of amazingly hideously righteous elements to do a photo shoot we put together with the awesome Maria Galvin in a not so secret Yorkshire location. Considering last weeks face burning weather we thought it would be fine, yeah we know we should have maybe not been so optimistic and you are right it did rain, sleet and snow all over us. To say it was cold was a massive understatement but we got it done and it was well worth it, a little sneak peak here to the setup.
Here we go people, just got the new site up and running thanks to the endless, tireless and awesome efforts of Mike over at Cliq-Consulting, a true gent amongst gents, #KERBLAM
The lovely and awesomely righteous people at Covent Garden Radio are going to be playing Build Me Up tonight and tomorrow at 7pm, spread the word and tune in, even send them a text to say how amazing they are for supporting us. BOOM!
Here it is.
Made by the awesome people over at Northouse Films
Filmed here in Leeds
Spread it around freely and widely people.
The Video for our first official release, we all know people don’t genrally buy a whole lot of music especially from a band that they have just heard of so we thought we would give this one away for free a small gift so to speak, to help get this friendship off to a flying start. You can download it from our site at www.iswimwithsharks.com please help spread the word by reposting this video around the wonderful world wide web. Special thanks to the genius over at brown bread films for putting such an awesome video together, true gents indeed. Check out their other stuff at www.brownbreadfilms.com
