Another busy one tonight. First up I was joined in the studio by The Victories (l-r Aaron, Chris, Luke). The local threesome recently released a new EP, We Are the Victories, which is available on iTunes, Spotify, and at their gigs, where Chris usually carries a boxful of them under his arm. Find The Victories on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, and you can next see them live at the Tower Tavern, Goodge Street, London on March 9th, and at the Hermit in Brentwood on March 15th, alongside Killing Jimmy and Scuffed.

I was then joined by another local trio, Abodes. Having recently established themselves on the local live scene, they’ve recently released a 7-track EP entitled Self-Diagnosed Insomniac, with a follow-up due in the coming months – we heard 2 exclusive new tracks live in the studio which may appear on it. Abodes can next be seen live at the Enterprise, Camden on March 14th, followed by a set at the Seaxe bar at Brentwood’s Essex Arms on March 15th. Find them on Twitter, Facebook, SoundCloud and YouTube.
