Enthusiasm is more important than talent so if you've always pictured yourself in a band, nows the time to do something about it!

It is with great sadness that we must inform the world that our beloved project will soon be taking an indefinite break.

Duty Now took over our lives for the last three years and we’ve had a thrilling journey from our red-wine-fuelled raggatronic horror noise sessions at the Apocalypse studios in Radcliffe all the way to our current dazed and confused but still smiling state.

The project was always far too ambitious for its own good and the inevitable has happened, we got tired of lifting all John’s stupid equipment.

It would be easy to slate all the people we feel did us wrong or start a rant about the appalling state of the British music industry but as anyone who knows us will testify, we’re nice people so we’ll be keeping all that to ourselves.

All members are likely to continue in other musical adventures, our website will stay where it as a memorial to our madness and will be updated occasionally with news of who is doing what.

We have one gig left which is at the Castle Hotel on Oldham street this Sunday at 5pm, we’d love to see as many people down there as possible to give us a good send off.

We’ll also be putting together a CD of all our recordings which will be available through our website dutynow.co.uk very soon for cheap or free.

We would like to thank the following people and promoters in no particular order for helping us along the way and believing in us-

Keir Stewart and Inch studios, Holly Holster and her magical Tardis car, Keith Yong, Sarah Unwin the drum goddess, manchestermusic.co.uk, Cath Aubergine, Popcult, Fiction non Fiction, Beat Promotions, Save Yourself, Bang Bang RnR, Into the Black, Damien @ the Castle, Akoustik Anarkhy, Blueprint Studios, Apocalypse Studios, our girlfriends for putting up with not seeing us much and finally all the bands we’ve played with and love (too many to list but you know who you are).

Sorry if we missed anyone, we love you too.

Its been a long time coming but our awesome new tracks are now available for your listening pleasure! The tracks are Kirsty's Hitler Nights, The Beginning of the End, Eyes Down and There is Still Time. Eyes Down was recorded and produced by a bunch of talent brimming music production students from Huddersfield uni, the rest by our excellent friend and production genius Mr Keith Yong.

In other news the band played their first gig for absolutely ages when they supported Double(Jon)Grey at their new Lost and Broken night. Despite Adam moving house that day and a mis-understanding about a missing drum kit the gig was a marvelous success. We're looking forward to many more gigs this summer now, hopefully putting to rest some rather unsettling discussions recently over the future of our unhealthy little project!
