You can hear the single’s exclusive first radio play on Alex Baker’s show on Kerrang Radio on Sunday 12th September between 8pm and 10pm
The video, stills of which you’ll find below, produced by our good friends We The Conspirators is getting it’s first play on RockSound‘s website at Midday on Friday 17th September.
Put the dates in your diary!
So, we’ve reached the end of the summer of sorts, and we’re looking forward to a full month and a holed up in our rehearsal space putting the finishing touches to the next batch of tunes before we head back in to the studio. This post is sort of a summary of what’s going on, what you (and we) can look forward to, and where we hope we’ll be at not too far from now. Here goes…

Our classic Maybeshewill Butterfly design is now available to pre-order in two colours. Head over to the Robot Needs Home Store to pick one up, and they’ll ship in September!
In an unusually metal turn up for the books, we’ve been confirmed to play Damnation Festival, held in Leeds University alongside The Dillinger Escape Plan, Earthtone9 and Rolo Tomassi, amongst many others. We’ll be playing the RockSound Stage.
We can now officially announce our touring partners for the UK and Ireland shows in October.
We’re very excited to let you know that, as announced in RockSound yesterday, we’ll be joined by &U&I for the English and Scottish dates of our Autumn tours. Comprised of three ex-members of the once awesome Blakfish, you can expect incredible things. Here’s a video to wet your appetite.
Joining us for the Northern and Southern Irish dates (excluding Belfast) are A Plastic Rose. We met these chaps last time we played over in Belfast for one of the most surreal shows of our life, and we’re delighted to be hooking up with them again.

The last week has been pretty amazing, a few trivial issues aside. All four shows last week were awesome, culminating in a champagne stage invasion at White Noise Festival that made for the best home-coming show we could have hoped for. Everyone involved made it an incredibly special occasion.
It’s been a privilege playing with our boys These Furrows at the shows, and we’re excited to see what happens with them in the next few months. If you missed it, Darryl from Furrows joined us on vocals for a pretty special one-off rendition of Seraphim & Cherubim at White Noise – It’s on video HERE
TOUR
We’re pleased to announce that we’re heading out on a month long UK and Ireland tour in October. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, due to the awesome turn out at the shows last week we’ve had to hold back on announcing a couple of the dates – Notably London, Leeds and Manchester, as well as a couple of Irish shows – but we’ll have the rest of the dates with you very soon.

TO THE SKIES FROM A HILLSIDE
The second bit of news is that we will be releasing the first single from our third album to coincide with the tour. It’s entitled ‘To The Skies From A Hillside’ and although we’re just hammering out the finer details with our friends at Field Records at the moment, it will probably come in 7″ and digital form, with a selection of B-Sides. Artwork comes courtesy of Hannah Mosley, who we’re delighted to be working with, and we’ll be recording it at two studio’s around Leicester with our bassist Jamie Ward at the engineering helm.
One final reminder that we’re on tour around the UK this week. Look out for Tweets from the band with news, last minute guest list spots up for grabs (if there are any), or more sensibly grab your self a ticket for one of the four shows now…

In other news, ALL OUTSTANDING MERCH ORDERS ARE BEING SHIPPED THIS WEEK! We’re sorry if you’ve been waiting a long time, but we promise they’ll be with you very soon!
Massive, massive apologies for anyone that’s still waiting on merch they ordered over the past month. There have been some delays, mostly relating to the roof of Maybeshewill HQ Collapsing and flooding our flat – no orders have been lost, and they’ll be with you as soon as we can get them out.
