Since 2000 we've recorded no less than 6 E.P.s and for a month we've been recording and finalizing our first feature length album.
I can't give to many details about it just yet apart from it has 13 tracks, 55 mins long and is called '8 'til Late'
We're officially releasing it on our own label 'L.O.F. Records' at our album launch party on 04/10/08 so if you know of any indie music stores near you could you jot down the address of it so we can send them some albums?
There are a couple of tasters recorded live at our practice sessions on our myspace page:

I've been working my arse off with the artwork over the last 6 weeks, I can't wait for it all to get back from the printers and I really can't wait for the launch!
Ben.

That's all quite good listening to it
Seems a bit of a 'classic' sound in the current mainstream of in your face music.
My sister reviews / interviews bands and writes articles online and in magazines so could maybe give her the address (Although not sure if it's a sound I can imagine her liking) - though I quite like it.
What happened to Moon Radar then?
Which track would you personally feel is your favourite / most impressive - i.e. if someone had to listen to 1 track which would you suggest?
I've just listened to most of them, and a lot are quite chilled out feeling... Almost need a Uniquie Sound that stands out to get noticed initially.
My personal fav is 99. 9 percent Demo, just for some of the key changes.

Yeah I must admit after listening some more, it's just got a bit of a 'flat' sound to it... Like it needs a bit of reworking on the levels throughout the songs to make some parts sound stronger.

Hold on, Hold on - the stuff your listening to on the website was recorded on a £100 Zoom H2 ( http://www.ndeva.co.uk/index.php?337&backPID=337&tt_products=853)
The album was recorded in a £400,000 studio where we multitracked vocals and added guitar tracks, backing and restructuring. Only about 2 tracks off the website are on the 13 track album, most of those myspace tracks are old news now. The new stuff is box fresh.
We've never sounded like The Kooks, Guillemots and all that stuff, we're about rock and roll and the actual album and the way it recorded captured the essence of that. The myspace demo's barely reflects 30% of the finished product but you have to put stuff on myspace between Albums and E.P.'s to keep the interest there.

Moon Radar! - www.radar.moonfruit.com which was our old name and website  good memory though! We changed the name when the bassist left about 3ish years ago, when someone leaves, the music changes, its not really the same band anymore so we changed the name.
If we could get a copy to your sis, would be great, even if she doesnt like it.
