Released today: Talons, Tango in the Attic and Wayter!
We are ending the year on a high with three brilliant and very different releases from Talons, Tango in the Attic and Wayter. This marks the end of an extremely busy year for us here at ABoF HQ; from a plethora of successful releases, to event management of the Geek of the Year Awards, the launch of ABoF TV and a succession of fun DJ gigs (Empire, Q and MOJO aftershows), we're definitely a little more than excited about 2011 now!
Read on below for more information about this week's releases, free MP3 downloads and videos. If you'd like a digital promo of anything you read about here, please email info@abadgeoffriendship.com. We have some physical promo copies available too but these are very limited.

Tango in the Attic - Sketch By Quentin Blake
After a very successful debut album - Bank Place Locomotive Society - Tango in the Attic end the year on a high with their brilliant second single taken from the album, Sketch By Quentin Blake. In fact, the album did so well over the summer it propelled the band to the number one spot in the Amazon Indie Download Chart.
The cheeky Glenrothes boys have been infiltrating the airwaves with plays on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Absolute Radio. The single is also reviewed in this month's Artrocker magazine. You can also read the review on Artrocker's website, where the respected indie mag say that the single is "designed to make you say 'YEAH!'" Well, we can't argue with that can we?

Sketch by Quentin Blake is available to download from the Amazon website for 69p - grab it now!
Wayter - Cheese Sandwich
Wayter have released their very debut free download single today - Cheese Sandwich. Although the London boys are new to the scene, Cheese Sandwich, has already been causing some commotion as the anticipation builds for more solid releases in 2011 - more singles and a debut album.
XFM's Ian Camfield has given the single a spin and respected websites like The 405, Alter The Press and Geeks.co.uk have already featured the band. This week, Classic Rock will also feature the track as a Track of the Day and this is only just the start.
