Our debut album Dangerous State Of Mind will be officially released on the 29th of June, 2009. It’s going to be truly a summer of rock ‘n’ roll boys and girls, because this one kicks back harder than frenzied Jackie Chan! The album will be first released only as a digital download through iTunes, Amazon and other online stores, and soon after that there will also be a CD release, possibly.

We have confirmed a few gigs before the release date in UK and a small gig tour in Finland, but there is a more extensive gig tour coming up after the release, so check back for more tour dates, because there might even be some additional gigs outside UK coming up.

You can already check out how the new songs sound like on our Amazon page. They’re only 30 second samples, but hopefully you get some idea of the vibe on the album.

Check the Releases page for lyrics and more info about Dangerous State Of Mind. Check out also our completely renewed MySpace and Bebo profiles, they’ve got some decent design going on, don’t you think?

Cheers,
51/50s

First of all our website has gone through a huge makeover process. It looks awesome, don’t you think? You can now also comment all the blog posts, videos, lyrics and gigs with your Facebook account. Yep, that’s possible nowadays, cool aye? So, go explore and leave some comments, feelings, frustrations or whatever you feel like writing.

Other good news is that our album mixing is finally done! The mastering will happen sometime this month, and if everything goes well we will get our debut album ‘Dangerous State Of Mind’ released in the end of May. First as a digital download, which you can buy from iTunes, Amazon etc, and later as a CD. We’ll get back to you about that as soon as we have an exact release date.

We are embracing Facebook more and more, and we even moved our street team there, which is now called Babylon Souls. The name derives from one of the tracks on the debut album. Check it out here »

We also have a little competition cooking up for you guys and we’ll tell more about it in the end of this week.

That’s all for now, take care of yourselves and rock on!
