Updates and that
The past few weeks we have been making some really good progress, we have a handfull of songs on the go. I can only describe these as our darkest and heavyest songs to date. If all goes well we could be playing at least one new song at our shows in July. I am currently listening to a potential new song called 'Cuddles' which we recorded a live jam of it this week. It's a beast!

5.00am
It's 5.00am, I'm not even tired!, I have spent the majority of the night catching up on everything i have missed over the past week. Now i am just lying in bed thinking about the band, how the new songs are sounding and how we have progressed since recording 'Prayers...' We have talked alot recently about concepts and ideas for the new album, but over the past couple weeks we have taken a step back from concepts and such and have found there has been a lot more freedom in our songwriting. We have been writing these songs for ourselves and not for any record. Dont get me wrong the ideas we have talked about for 'recond secord/HelLP2/our next full length' have been very intresting and ones i personally want to explore, but it has been very refreshing to write songs for the sake of writing songs again. I'm pretty sure we will have at least 3 songs to record when we hit the studio and then we will just need to decide what we are going to do with them. GoodTimes...No Sleep!
P.S. names of our new songs are 'Where Chris Lives','Happy Doomsday' and hasn't really been discussed but im calling our other new song 'ShitDisco#3'

Words - 12/03/09
Cheers to people who were kind enough to say these words about us from the gig last Thurday!
I'll leave the official write up to Owen, suffice to say That Heretics and Lovers were pretty awesome. I was sceptical at first, it sounded a bit too formulaic; paint-by-numbers scremo/emo/post hardcore/whatever.
But as the set progressed the sound developed from just songs into atmosphere. Well timed chilled out breakdowns, plenty of feedback and distortion to create a wall of sound that carries you away from the scene - only to slam you back into the crashinfury.
Despite the impromptue encore being marred by one of the guitarists two broken strings, and broken strap button (Sorry, I don't know his name), the band stepped up and performed well. I found it interesting how with the lower E string removed from the guitar, it balanced well; for the most part adding a lighter harmonic to the lower notes of the other guitarist.
I was plesantly surprised by the band, and I'll definately check them out again. Another great night and good atmosphere, even if everyone does bugger off as soon as the last notes ring out. - Morgan Hampton
MAR 12: HERETICS AND LOVERS (www.myspace.com/hereticsandlovers)
Well Morgan said it above, Heretics and Lovers were awesome in the truest sense of the word. A lesson in razor-sharp dynamics, if you will. They were the 13th band to play ANOTHER FINE MESS, and the heaviest, cobweb-blasting one to take the stage yet. Having said that, there is also a sweet'n'sour melancholia to their sound as they visit diverse places in their music. - Owen Adams
Was you there?? lets us know your thoughts!
