The Ghost of Future Perfect Continuous
2016 has been an interesting year for us… We made some new friends, grew more mature and started making better sense on what’s happening to us and our surroundings.
Being an independent act means that we do everything on our own pace. Planning an album is much more difficult when one is not sponsored to exclusively be making music, and additionally having to be looking after their relationship with the rest of the members work making time for each other, and the band itself. A release is an onerous project and it’s finished the day it’s released… and then one has to start over again.
We started off in a little city in Greece somewhat 8 years ago, with no scene to support us, as we were too soft for the metalheads, too aggressive for the rockers, too polished for the punks… The audience for guitar rock with English lyrics is not massive there, so we transferred our base to the motherland of post punk somewhat 3 – 4 years ago, something adding to the gaps between releases!
We’ve done a few good gigs here and there this year, got involved with a few charities doing amazing work, released a neak peek of a Video we are about to release, and accumulated material for our third full length, the recordings of which are going to be really challenging with both Damos and the Saint fulfilling their national service.
A few releases are lined up for the coming year, and please don’t forget about the bracelets for the world vision charity! Getting fulfilment from bettering someone’s life is the most beautiful expression of capitalistic guilt.
A big, warm welcoming hug to Konstantinos, Marco and Dimitris! A big thanks to all of our friends and families for the support all the way, and last but not least, you for reading this!
Happy New Year!
So this is Christmas…
So this is Christmas! People all-over the world have established this beautiful tradition of proceeding with gestures of kindness in hopes the goodness will last the whole year through… So if Christmas shopping didn’t starve your piggy bank you could preorder some really nice bracelets that are currently being created off our used strings, and benefit the World Vision charity!

Live in Exile
We just manage to make some time and go through the material from our last year’s gig in Newcastle Miner’s Institute and we are really happy of how it looks like, so subscribe to our YouTube channel because we are going to upload samples of it, and a lower res video of ‘the Smile’ while we are working on a deluxe digipack release of it, featuring a 16 page booklet, with interesting bonuses… It was about time don’t you think?
Dates and Updates
Thanos is about to perform a small acoustic set for the Children North-East charity on September the 10th at Westgarth, Middlesbrough. While an appearance, as the full-on Phase experience this time, with our beloved Antimatter is planned for 14 days later in Thessaloniki, and a TBA acoustic gig in Larisa somewhere in between! It’s about time to release some new music as well don’t you think?
Ha’way the Lads
Given our performance at sports in school, we knew this would be the only way for you to see us anywhere near a football pitch… Phase will do the Stadium of Light in Sunderland on May the 15th as part of NEVFEST and will be broadcasted live on the radio. Don’t miss it!
