Fri, 07 Nov 2008 03:00:00 GMT

Just a quick reminder that Lucy The Castle is out on CD, 7" and as a download this coming Monday so get ready to hit the shops if you haven't already pre-ordered your copy.

The boys will also be playing an in-store at Piccadilly Records in Manchester the same day at 1pm, followed by a signing. Get there early to avoid disappointment.

Here's a review of the single from today's Manchester Evening News:

IF solid rock riffs can turn Oasis into a world - conquering band,Then there's no reason it shouldn't have the same effect for Twisted Wheel. Cherry- picking from The Jam and The Clash where the Gallaghers borrowedfrom The Beatles, Lucy The Castle is an upfront piece of lad rock that makesno apologies for its derivativeness and holds no doors open for nonbelievers.Instead, it storms off into the distance, leaving a trail of dust and spiritin its wake.If success always equalled energy expanded, Lucy The Castle would be aNumber 1 hit for sure.
