IST IST

Our fifth album 'DAGGER' is out today. We want to take a moment to say thank you for all your support over the years, we wouldn’t have reached this point without you. This is an album that has consumed us over the past twelve months but one we loved every second of making. It's a period of our lives we'll never forget. There isn't much else to say besides we hope you love it too. What was ours is now forever yours.

A personal story to attest to Andy Burnham’s character… We had some visa issues when travelling to the US for SXSW in 2023. We contacted his office and he personally escalated it to two staff (shout out Maria and Tom) who got us sorted via their contacts at US immigration within a couple of hours. We were performing on the GMMC stage on our first day there, met with him to say thanks. Cheekily asked could he also sort us guestlist to the New Order show that night. Lo and behold, also sorted that for us within a couple of hours. All round good bloke, nothing but respect for him. 🐝

@AndyBurnhamGM Nice one Andy and good luck. Top man🌹

Politics isn’t working for places like ours. I will change that. #AndyBurnham #ForUs

Thursday evening vibes with @ististmusic rolling into town at @rescuerooms Potentially the best show I’ve seen from these, a brilliant set getting on for an hour & a half in length. The ‘Dagger’ tunes sitting nicely amongst older classics. Excellently raucous finale too! Superb
