Please, Stop Telling Me I'm Clueless

Alan played his debut gig with us at The Hobbit in Southampton on December 18th. It was fun and we're looking forward to doing more stuff in the new year, including some recording, and possibly some sort of vinyl release.

Strung Up

We are playing another gig on Sunday (if Neil makes it back from India in time), with Violent Arrest, Constant State Of Terror and others. It'll be our first Southampton gig, and we'll be showing off our new bassist, Alan, who used to be in the wonderful Whole In The Head. He already knows the songs better than the rest of us.

We hope to be recording some new songs early in the new year too.

Confused By The Funk

We've had a full blown practise, and tried out a new pair of Shorts. Alan from Whole In The Head pummelled his bass to good effect, and we all had fun.

There are new songs too.

We have now signed up to Band Camp - http://theshortsuk.bandcamp.com/

I still need...To be heard

Next gig for us is on December 18th, at The Hobbit in Southampton, with Violent Arrest. It's our friend Rich Levene's birthday gig, and it's good to have that as our first in Southampton.

We'll also be joined by a new bass player. Kev can't do it, so Alan from Whole In The Head will be the one with blood pumping, head pounding.

New Shorts

Our new recording is now ready for release. The download includes the 3 new songs plus a PDF which has lyrics, photos, info and more.

Why Do You Keep On Doing The Same Old Thing?

We are heading back into the studio tomorrow; all four of us. We will be recording the three songs we've written since recording our demo.
As soon as we have it all done we'll post a link on here and on Suspect Device Zine so you can download them.

We also have some badges. Send an email c/o Suspect Device and we'll sort out getting one (some) to you.
