'Brilliant' 'Superb' 'Great Song' were just some of the comments made by the reviewing panel on Billy Butler's 'Stars In Your Ears' regarding our song 'Freeriding'.

The panel are made up of Lyn Staunton of Power Promotions - Liverpool, Bobby Sox of Bobby Sox and the Prize Guys and Gary Murphy - an award winning musician who is highly regarded as one of the best guitarists in the UK and who will soon be taking his 'Guitar Legends' to the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool.

It was great for us to have such positive comments and feedback and to also have been compared to Neil Young with our writing by one of the reviewers! Onwards and Upwards!

Tune into BBC Radio Merseyside tomorrow (05/05/08) as Billy Butler will be playing one of the tracks from our latest album Freeriding.

Well we have finally finished Freeriding. It's been a hard slog trying to create the finishing touches on the track, with so many takes your innovation starts to evaporate! We must thank Brian Evans for his wonderful drumming on the track, it was just what the doctor ordered! And gives the track the 70's feel which we where certainly after.

You can listen to the tracks on the media player in the right sidebar, we will be putting the songs on CD-Baby very soon.

We have also added new tracks to the Ursastwin website, including Another Time which is more up-beat and funky.

Finally since we have finished the tracks we can start on new material which is always very exciting, we our however going to re-record some of our best tracks from our last album Chameleon, which includes Closure, You Don't Get It and Walking Wounded.

It has been a little while since we posted on the site, but we have both been rather busy. Tina with her vocal teaching at Stage Coach; myself with work and practicing the keyboard.

The good news is we have also been working very hard on the songs over the last few weeks!

We have re-recorded Freeriding and it has turned into quite a production. We dropped the key to add depth to the song as it was sounding a little thin! This gave the vocal a much thicker sound, though dropping the song down a whole-tone created problems especially with the Bass Guitar. After many hours of tweaking on the mix, I managed to sort things out.

The drums where played by a good friend Brian Evans, who recorded them himself and dropped them to me over the Internet (What would we do without it??!).

The song still requires a few touches which will be done asap!
