As previously announced, the new double a-side single - 'Make Up Your Mind / Obsession' - will be released on March 12th 2012 to coincide with the joint headline tour with The Answer!

If you haven't already pre-ordered your copy of the single (and the Obsession Tour T-shirt to go with it...) please do so by visiting THIS LINK!

See below for an exclusive sneak peak of the brand new version of 'Make Up Your Mind' as featured on the single.



Keep checking back at www.theuniononline.com in the weeks leading up to the release to preview other tracks from the single....

Hi everyone,

Before we get started we’d like to say a Happy New Year to everybody and thank you for your support and enthusiasm throughout 2011. We want you to know that we really do appreciate it and we hope you stay along for the ride in 2012!

THE SINGLE
On March 12th we’ll be releasing an exclusive signed double a-sided CD single to coincide with our upcoming UK tour (more about that later). The tracks are;

Make Up Your Mind (2012 revised radio version)
Obsession (radio edit)
Cut The Line (live)
Obsession (live)

We actually re-recorded ‘Make Up Your Mind’ specifically for single purposes and what we got was a really uplifting, vibrant version of the song.
‘Obsession’ went down so well on our last tour we actually couldn’t decide which track was a better choice so we ended up with the double a-side option.
The two live tracks were recorded at Islington Academy on the last tour and we loved the rawness of the performances so we thought they’d complement the two studio tracks well.

‘Make Up Your Mind/Obsession’ is now available for pre-order right now here so if you’re up for getting some decent music into the charts (and who isn’t?) you know what to do! There’s also a single/tour shirt bundle available for those amongst you that are coming to a show and want to look the part.

Speaking of which…..

THE TOUR
Yes folks, on March 2nd we begin a co-headlining UK and Ireland tour with The Answer.
Tickets are selling really well and we expect most shows to sell out before the tour begins so if you want to be sure of your place don’t think about it too long! It’s also our first trip across the Irish Sea so we’re looking forward to a few pints of the black stuff and meeting some new friends there.

On November 22nd we're taking part in a one-off show to help raise money for Childline Rocks along with some great artists like The Feeling and Lucie Silvas. All the contributing acts will be playing very short sets (i.e. one or two songs) and it should make for a great and varied evening of musical excellence! Please get along if you can!!
