SNH Xmas Day I - Best Friends

It's Xmas Day and we've got Best Friends in the house for part i of our Xmas day madness!!!

What were your highlights of 2012?

This years been cool. We played a load of festivals and put out three releases. The highlight has to be the tour tho... we got to hang with so many dudes we don't really see that often and even got a three day vacation in Falmouth with The Black Tambourines. Other highlights have to be meeting Leyla Treble, stealing a boat & being able to take any vinyl or CD's that we wanted when we were let loose in Beggars Headquarters.

What can we expect from you in 2013?

We're about due another E.P so early next year probably. More tours, more festivals, more party's and more WWF themed merchandise.

Can we have a link to a Christmas track that you like please?

Why this track?

It's just awesome. When Brian Wilson played this at Glastonbury it was probably the most surreal experience of all time.

Can we have a link to one of your tracks please?

This is 'Witches' off our Throwing Up E.P which we released earlier in the year on Art is Hard Records. Its about going to a club in Sheffield where drinks are too cheap and you get super fucked up, which is rellevant cause Christmas seems to be one of the few acceptable times in a year to get in a state and its o.k with your whole family. Have a cool Christmas.
