It’s all change in the aAnd? camp as the Bournemouth Metal heads unveil new/old song “sSimple Simon” and announce a new direction in their gorilla warfare tactics. Instead of releasing records that follow the industry standard, from here on out they plan on taking a different route to remain but we’ll let them explain how
It’s been a long time since Bournemouth Metal outfit aAnd? wrote an album… and were seen without their trademark chequered morph suits but both of those things have been put to bed as the band premier new single “Escape“. The album remains in a forthcoming status, mainly for tax reasons but when it does appear
There is nothing quite like a grass roots venue show for a few cold beers and a sweat fest of a sing-a-long with just a hint of claustrophobia and The Lounge Bar in Alton is our destination for such activities tonight. Given the calibre of the well respected headliners, we know the place is going
From seemingly out of nowhere, aAnd? have dropped the bad s*** crazy hallucinagenic music video and new single “dDuck!“. The track is the bands first new cut since their brilliant 2018 EP “Wwoof?“. 1st April 2021 will see them at The Anvil Rockbar in Bournemouth playing a rescheduled date with Esoterica, while 10th April will

As promised in that first list which appeared just yesterday, were counting down towards 2019 with a bunch of 5’s. That’s right. 5 lists of 5. Why? Well 2018 has had some truly awesome Metal bands and releases in it… and long lists suck. Ain’t nobody got time for that. We’ve done 5x albums from
Released on 13th July, after recording at Aandmade Studios in Bournemouth with Mixing and Mastering from Dan Evans, chequered quartet aAnd? returned just short of 4 years after the release of their debut “aAlbum?” and with a re-recording of “I Am A Mighty Pirate… Prepare To Die!” in the mix.
