Been around a while. We have two EPs, One album, 3 Singles with remix B-sides all released by Crystal Fuzz Records. Funded through Strummerville - The Joe Strummer Foundation. 2015 saw us release a new EP with producer Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Specktor) 'Blood Burst' many reviewers saying it was the 'best yet'. We were born in Wales from Scottish/Italian parentage and now live in the West Country. We have toured around UK extensively and have played Internationally both with HI and other musical adventures.

There has been a lot of support along the way from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio Wales, 6 Music, Resonance FM, Amazing Radio, BCFM, Woody Radio Canada, Virgin Radio France and countless blogs, magazines and zines. My Favourite thing said ever was when Ruth Barnes of The Other Woman Show [Resonance FM, 6 Music, Amazing Radio] said, in 2014, I was her all time favourite front woman. In this rather difficult world of music - that is to say outside of the actual creative part - that thing Ruth said helped me to remember who I was and that what I did was ok. Thanks always to Ruth. Below is some info about our releases to date. We are currently working on the next album which is why we've been quiet on the gig front.

Our first album Dead Wolf Situation came out in 2012. It made albums of the year lists with, among others, Louder than War, God Is In the TV, Drunken Werewolf and Music Liberation. Here are some comments others made about the album:

"Beats as infectious as 14th Century London" - Artrocker * * * *

"A debut to be dazzled by" - Venue * * * *

"Things of beastly beauty" - The Girls Are * * * *

"...rock très viscéral, aidé en cela par la douceur d'une voix mi-ange mi-diablotin..." - Jazz, Blues & Co 7.5/10

"The range of sounds and expressions created across these dozen songs – particularly with the guitars – is remarkable and almost viscerally striking" - Wears the Trousers 7/10

"Meaty and tense art-punk tales of claustrophobia" - Keep Pop Loud

Available now from all major download stores; and on CD and download from http://hystericalinjury.bandcamp.com/
