ATW Acoustic gig Poppy Red, Birmingham, Tues 5th October

That's right, we're off on another acoustic adventure for a new night at Poppy Red in Brum. Come down, check out the show and get the new night started off with a bang! See you there!

The Wheel Keeps Turning

There have been a few twists and turns in the ATW story of late, and due to situations, commitments and general hard work we've had to keep a lock down on announcements until the timing was right, so without further ado, here is the lowdown . Let's start with the sad news:

Andy Watson has left the band.

A few weeks ago, Andy made it clear to us that his future was not aligned with ATW, it was a sad day and a hard decision, but it was a respectful one. Over the past couple of years Andy has given it all to the band and certainly brought a fresh and exciting perspective to the music, but unfortunately, sometimes the future you see is not always the one you want, and Andy decided it was time for him to pursue other projects. So we'd just like to take a moment to say thanks, and all the best for those future endeavours. We're certainly looking forward to hearing the new fruits. Good luck man.

Announcements, announcements. Yep, there are some of them coming soon. Keep 'em peeled!

Ah, the lovely world of ATW posters, these for our gig on the 2nd of July at the Actress. Spread the word, we are returning!

Against The Wheel

A review has popped up of Saturdays Actress & Bishop show from the good folks at Joe's Big Toe(which is a music blog you should frequent as it's very nice sir!) and here's an excerpt:

"This is uncut no-frills rock that at times resembles a head-on col­li­sion between Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. The music itself is elec­tri­fy­ing, care­fully craf­ted but instilled with a raw pas­sion you can only get from new tal­ent wait­ing to be dis­covered."
