Anyway, this is what Francis had to say:

Hello!
...and welcome to the Stand Out Riot newsletter!
Using this we will keep you updated with all important things happening in the SOR camp, uncluding info on our upcoming album, gigs, tours, merch and other exciting nuggets of info.

This month sees the start of recording for our 2nd album, 'The Gentleman Bandits' the follow up to 2009's 'Carnival Militia'.
Tracking begins on Tuesday 28th December at Big Tone Studios in Manchester, and we're very, very excited to unleash these new tunes on our unwitting producer TiMG.

To further whet your appetites for this release, here is a recording of a brand new tune, 'Developing Detachment', recorded at our last practice!

In other news, we are having a quiet festive period on the gigs front, however we'll be back in action in mid January, with gigs on the 14th, 15th, 16th! One of which you can confirm your attendance in an online form here:

Now, onto the sadder news. After a decade of loyal service, our trusty guitarist Ste will be leaving the band in January, to persue his career as a full-time, proper-job music teacher. We're all very sad to see him go, but are glad he'll be around have his input on the new album. As of January, we will be looking for a full-time replacement, with the familiar face of Dave March (Chief, The Shuffle) filling in on 6-string duty until the position is filled. If you, or anyone you know think they could step up to the challenge, then please let us know!

Finally, we're having a big old sale down at our online shop, with a FREE CD being given out for free with every order! So pay a visit to http://standoutriot.bigcartel.com. We've still got a few hoodies too, so grab yourself one before they run out and keep warm this winter!

We will keep you updated with loads of video updates during our recording session, so make sure you 'Like' (...urghhh...) us on Facebook, and check outhttp://myspace.com/standoutriot for some news and tracks and other goodies.

Thanks for your support!

It's Booze Time

Over the weekend Revenge of the Psychotronic Man were in the studio to record 6 tracks for an international split that we will be releasing around April next year.

Tim G (Big Tone Recordings) had the pleasure of putting up with Revenge of... for two days, listening to the rough mixes it sounds like he did a great job.

If you have seen Revenge of... play over the last few months you would have heard most of the tracks recorded, although there are a couple that will be new to you. It might not sound believable but I think this EP is even faster than the album, 6 tracks are over and done with in under 7mins 25 secs. The track listing is:

1. Drinking in the Van

2. Not My Fight

3. It's Booze Time

4. A Political Hot Potato

5. D.I.Why?

6. The End of Everything

I think there must have been a worlds first at Big Tone this weekend: the gang vocals on 'The End of Everything' were recorded in human pyramid formation! Davey Psychotronic was up from the big smoke to record some video footage over the weekend so we should hopefully see that in the near future with some samples from the EP. We will also probably make 'A Political Hot Potato' available for a free download once Tim has finished with the mastering. So look out for that.

If you weren't already aware, these tracks are going to feature on an international split EP alongside 5feetunder Records from Denmark and Stikman Records from the US. It will also feature the Mighty Midgets (Denmark) , Fist of the North Star (USA) and the Broken Aris (Sweden).

Andy and Niels (Mighty Midgets) are working together on the artwork, which should produce something very interesting. Each of the bands/labels have a similar DIY ethics and we all feel it is a really good way of helping great bands be heard further a field. It's a real pleasure to be working with a group of like minded labels and bands.
