Freynow Wow, wasn't expecting a breakup :|
-
DouglasAWh I hear some of the people in this band were in Sounds Like Chicken. I'd like to speak with those guys about releasing the SLC stuff under Creative Commons. Please let me know if I don't have the right band. Thanks!
-
alexschelldorf Anyone have "Western" or "Dirty Looks" or the split EP? None are available in the States.
-
DredgeMill I really hate that Blood is listened to SO MUCH more than all their other songs. C'mon people, listen to all of their music.. ; -;
-
puismourir I'm still hurting so much because of their breakup. [2]
-
Molko_93 I start to falling in love with this band.
-
mysterio32 A band taken away well before their time...
-
SLIGHTLYevil I just found them...,.WHY AREN'T THEY MAKING MUSIC ANY MORE? I KNOW I'M SHOUTING, IT JUST REALLY UPSETS ME!
-

-
delly47 the new album is fantastic
-
abatic that's some real blood!
-

-
ErnestVincent I was shocked looking at these tracks because Blood isn't even the best song on the album, imo.
-
ColonyofMetal Woah..... man..... woah hide my jocks, i might have to be commited to grey lands after listening to these guys wowee
-
joaizn Awesome.
-
iamcamelia I miss them :( If only they got back together and graced us with their blissful sounds.

shinefgs Jesus christ, do people just listen to Blood? I sure hope you guys actually listen to their albums and not just repeat one song over and over again.

WaltJizzney Anyone know a way to get the Split EP with Sleeping In Trains? Their myspace page has dead links.
-
tokyochorus whoa whoa they broke up
-
Cliquot_ looking for the album like crazy!
-
sper12 Why would they break up because a tiny market like Australia wasn't working for them but the larger overseas ones were? Don't think that's right. BTW, this really is tragic that they are no more.
-
andrewrutherfor Also, I'm guessing another reason they broke up was playing to drunk douchbags who heckled for Blood all show. They didn't play it when I saw them and I was more than happy :)
-
andrewrutherfor
PS, best Middle East track is Hunger Song imo, makes me cry rivers.
-
andrewrutherfor
I'm not sure which member from Middle East is in that band but I know one of them is.
-
andrewrutherfor
Only people making music for money for break up for "lack of support" haha. If you know this band you'd know that wasn't the reason. They simply weren't enjoying playing anymore. They have all gone on to do projects with way less support than Middle East had. Check out Snakeface, so so so so so good. http://arrestrecordsaustralia.bandcamp.com/album/snakeface-oberon
-
SamOhAh @Jonjonjohny: I thought they were fairly well known/liked here in Australia. A few entries in the Hottest 100. Either way, itt's DEFINATELY NOT why they disbanded. See here > http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s3285768.htm

acsafialho What I wouldn't give for just another album (2) I'm addicted to these guys. Can't stand one day without their songs . They're really powerfull, so many things to say with a few words. I wish they could reband :~~
-
Jonjonjohny @HeroGothamNeeds: That actually breaks my little heart that they didn't have much of a fan base back home. And it's just as much of a shame they never utilised their growing international fandom to full effect.
-
puismourir
I'm sad they split up :( at least I saw them live, I guess.
-
Slinkster It's so sad that their best song is so unknown. If you haven't heard it, you have to do it as soon as possible, listen to the song 'Fool's Gold'. - This.. I love that song.

They were/are definitely the best band to come out of Australia in awhile, also for those from Sydney Jordan is doing his first show in Australia with Holly Throsby in a few weeks.

Vampire_Freak Oh the things I would do to see them live, just once.
-
Jonjonjohny
the Album and the full Ep were enough to tour extensively. Does anybody know why they have broken up?
-
sLiVeRmx Were they a Christian band?
