northern alliance

[argentina 78]

Folks,
Excuse the blatant plug, but my band Northern Alliance have an album out, For the Grains of Sand, on Fence Records. We think it’s the kind of thing you good folks might like.

You can hear tracks, read blurb and even buy it from our websites:

www.lowfidelity.com
www.myspace.com/northernalliancerocks

…and from the Fence site:

www.fencerecords.com

…as well as all good indie record shops in the UK.

Here’s what some kind people have said about us:

‘Northern Alliance merge the dissolute melancholy of Arab Strap with the smudged alt folk of Sparklehorse… superb.’ Scotland on Sunday
‘Gloriously ramshackle, heartbroken and drunkenly swaying, but that’s exactly where their charm lies.’ Kerrang
‘This trio are a thing of real texture and beauty.’ The List
‘Genuinely affecting with a heart as heavy as the sun.’ Metro

Thanks for yer time, all. And apologies again, if you think this self-promotion is bad form.

Cheers,
Doug from Northern Alliance
p.s. I've also had a novel, Tombstoning, published by Penguin this year. A great read for Christmas. Probably. And going cheap on amazon at the moment.

Isn't Northern Alliance a gay boyband????

Only in your dreams.

Enjoyed the downloads, available at:

Worth a spin on RFP surely?

They sound like the cross between a tweedy pressure group and an insurance company.

You mean something like PPAG vs Direct Line featuring the Womens Institute?

I'm told the gay boyband was Northern Line!

And no ... not in my dreams ... ever!!!!
