Moving Out

Hello, Hannah here!

I haven’t written a blog in a while so I thought I would do so…

First a little update: Recently we (WinterKids) have been very busy writing loooadds of new material. We have been in and out of the studio recording our new tracks as demos so we can have a listen back and decide what we want to put on our album. We have nearly short listed our tracks, and we will be recording our album (fingers crossed) in September. We’re dying to share with you the new tracks! It’s a slow process, but once we have recorded the album it means we can go on tour again!

In other news…Chris and I are moving to Guildford today!! Yey! This is my first flat, I’ve never lived away from home before so its quite scary :S.

One of the first additions in our new flat is something I like to call a"Nap Pack". The Nap Pack comprises of a pink floral pillow, a matching pink floral sheet and a vintage eiderdown -




…and the reason why I’ve had to make this Nap Pack? So James can stumble in during the early hours of the morning after a night out in Guildford and fall asleep on our original 60’s sofa (had to sneak that in) with these lovely floral bed covers - just so he doesn’t have to spend £30 for a taxi to get back to Peaslake!….


We'll be playing a show in Germany and Switzerland next week. If your in the area, hopefully see you there!

Video Shoot Pictures

Later this year we'll be releasing an EP called 'Another Break EP'.

Here is the artwork for the EP -

Last week we shot a video for the lead track off the 'Another Break EP'....that track is called....'Another Break'!

So below are some photos of the video shoot. The video will combine animation and real life footage. The idea is, the characters in the artwork will come to life in the form of us, causing musical havoc -






News on the new EP to follow shortly....

Knock Down All The Houses

Here is a little song we wrote called 'Knock Down All The Houses'. Below are the lyrics so you can sing along -

Knock Down All The Houses



Winter chills up on the hills that we’re supposed to live on
It’s housing chores are not the law its work that we all thrive on

Throw me the ball to damage walls and knock down all the houses
How would we cope if mother hope was not here to surround us

The cynic sneers but really fears the chances of a climate
Change in stance we’ve got no chance to read between the lines

Start again I’d go back and start again
Start again if I could


Hope you liked

Love WinterKids

Plastic Bags

Just a quick post this week with a slightly more serious tone to last weeks blog where Tom and Brad posted highly inaccurate photos of how my holiday panned out...

Something I noticed during our last visit to Germany was that plastic bags have been banned from a number of supermarkets.

I have always tried to recycle my plastic bags and I usually decline the offer of a plastic bag when spending money in shops....especially if its for something like chewing gum or hay fever tablets!

In fact, those who know me personally, will know that when I'm out and about I'll carry a ridiculous carpet bag that looks like its been stolen from the set of Mary Poppins....this is of course to place things I've bought in!

So any ways, since coming back from Germany, I have felt the need to spread the word about the impact plastic bags have on the environment.

So the first thing I did was join this facebook group -


I'm not sure if the petition would actually do much in terms of reaching the government, however, by showing all my friends the group, I'm hoping word will spread.

So, even if you don't use facebook, and even if you don't want to become a member of that facebook group, please do click on for 5 mins, have a read of the facts and figures.

Have a good weekend

James
