First off, a belated Happy New Year to one and all. Here’s to the year ahead. A good time then for us to say thank you for all your support over the past twelve months and here’s hoping you stay with us for the year ahead. It’s been quite a ‘ride’, (ahem), and with a global release this year, it looks like that rollercoaster will continue.

We’ve had great reviews in music and film publications, not to mention picking up the Mojo Vision Award 2011 and bagging NME’s film of the year.
