I know Favours For Sailors have had a bit of love on here in the past (thanks, Dananana) so thought this might interest a few. They've a mini album coming out next year and have posted some of the new songs (recorded by Rory Bratwell ex-of Test Icicles) up on their MySpace - www.myspace.com/favours4sailors Think they're sounding pretty amazing.

They've also recorded a Xmas song, which will be part of a free xmas mini album- Listen, The Snow Is Failing - we're giving away from the end of this week (also featuring Empty Set, Situationists (x2), Honeytrap and Neil ex Dead! Dead! Dead!). In the meantime you can download the Favours song from This Is Fake DIY now:

Apologies for the shameless advertising, but it is Christmas, so it only seemed right. Be good to hear some reactions though.
