Ooo, lots going on, lovely stuff

Thanks for all the new posts in Front of House too, interesting reading. The lads are certainly making a splash, getting some nice posisive vibes *applauds*

Cheers Jill! And yes, love reading all this good news myself. Getting hyped up even more for September when the debut album is due! September is full of surprises this year.

Hey everyone!

Time for a long overdue update I'd say. Sorry for being absent for so long, I've been up to my head with work and my own personal fangirling/touring.

Sadly enough, the planned release date of fiN's debut album apparently wasn't September, so we're still on the look-out for a new release date. I'm sure 2013 will bring us just that!

A lot has happened in the last quarter of this year, and it's safe to say that the unexpected highlight of it all was the shortly-announced support act of fiN for no-one else but the mighty MUSE in the O2, London.

Me and my partner in crime Paola had just visited fiN's headquarters at Cato Music the same morning that they received the news. No one expected that a quietly planned day of meetings and video-shoots would end up in a frantic race towards the O2 to open for the acclaimed rock-band. And what a gig it was!


What a big crowd!

From the seats behind the stage we were screaming our heads off and singing/dancing along to all the songs. Dispite not being in form, the band still put down a solid set and gave it them all.


From the back!

The crowd seemed very much into the music and were cheering and applauding at the end. Let's hope it brought the guys some more publication!

If you have pictures or videos to share of this event, or other fiN-gigs/happenings, then don't hesitate to share them here for your fellow fiNfaNs!

Besides the unexpected, things went mostly as planned and so both videos and the double-vinyl for Lucky You and Life Is Wasted On The Living have been released.





There was a limited pre-order period where you could get your copy of the vinyl signed, which was very succesful! Pictures of the band signing numerous vinyl were posted on Twitter and many of these have found loving homes with new and old fans.

If you haven't got your copy of this limited-pressed 7" vinyl (only 500 were made!), then head to the main site and order yours today, maybe if you ask nicely, the guys will still sign it for you.


No further news for now, but we wish everyone a wonderful time during the festive season and see you all in 2013!

I was there!!! But you knew that of course

And I do agree, the crowd really seemed to enjoy the lads. One day they'll be headlining....

Bestest Chrimbo wishes back atcha and to everyone else. Now the world has refused to end who knows what treats are in store?

[Xaverri]

Looks like the treat is a new cover by the lads!
I love it Especially the drumming is a lot more powerful than the original, well done, Simon.

If you haven't seen it yet, here you go!
