Brummie Indie gods Shady Bard are not going to let Christmas slip by unnoticed, as they're planning the release of a special four-track E.P entitled “First, The Winter...”
The band have apologised for it not featuring the song everybody wanted, (a cover version of East 17's “Stay Another Day”) instead, fans will have to make do with four lovely songs from the quintet. Shady Bard will now retire to the trenches to start work on their second album, the follow-up to “From The Ground Up”, which was released in May.
Shady Bard - “First, The Winter....” tracklisting:
1. Snowstorm 1814
2. Big Snow
3. These Quiet Times (choral)
4. Winter Song.
The E.P will come in a hand-sewn pouch with a carol service insert. Although worringly, it's limited to just 150 copies, so buy buy buy people. You can pre-order it from Static Caravan.
