In the chaos of the last few months, we never got round to updating this page so in case you missed it, here's a summary.
On our way to our final Paris gig with Bruxa Maria on January 20th this year, we were in a high-speed motorway accident just outside Amiens (France) in which Gareth broke his neck, and Matt from Bruxa sustained multiple injuries that were even worse than that. Gareth is almost fully recovered (physically) but Matt - although discharged and back in the UK - continues to make regular trips to various orthopedic specialists. Of course I'm sure you have been and will continue join us in sending the good feelings, as well as presents, in Matt's direction.
In more recent weeks we have discovered the van wreck with all our gear in it was raided at the garage it was stored at (allegedly), so we have lost all our equipment too.
In more positive news, our final record has been pressed and is available to order from bandcamp: https://silentfront.bandcamp.com/album/three
Bruxa Maria also have a new record out which you can check out here:
https://hominidsounds.bandcamp.com/album/bruxa-maria-casual-nun-2
We do intend to reschedule our final Paris and London shows, probably in late 2018, so keep an eye out for those.
Finally, here's some footage of the show we played in Brighton, the night before the accident.

Pyramids
Here's a stream of a track from our upcoming and final record.
Pre-order is live on Kickstarter until December 17th, after which we'll have one open on Bandcamp, but KS is much better so please order it through that and Bandcamp take a huge cut! - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1432039067/silent-front-three/dashboard?ref=creator_nav

Hit The Roof
Can't believe we hit the target for the crowdfunder within 10 days, thanks so much to everyone who has gotten involved!
We would like to do a photo-collage on the inner-sleeve of the new record, so we are calling out to anyone with photos of us, live or otherwise, or in fact any other stuff connected to us, that you think might work on the record. We want this to be as open as possible so we're as super keen to include old low-res blurry phone pictures as well as more professionally shot stuff.
If you have anything you'd like us to have a look at, email us at silentfront@yahoo.com either with sample pics attached, or with a link to where we can see samples, and let us know what you'd need by way of compensation. We will of course credit every photo used on the sleeve itself too.

Ps. Pre-order is still live here until 17/12/2017 - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1432039067/silent-front-three

Three
*** PRE-ORDER HERE ***
This is a link for the crowdfunder for a vinyl release of our upcoming and last ever record - "Three".
The target is £1000, and we have until 9pm GMT / 22h00 CET on Sunday December 17th to hit it. This is an "all-or-nothing" job, which means that if we fall short of the target we won't be pressing anything.
It is £10 + postage, but we've also listed some distro/multi-buy deals too for anyone after multiple copies. We will ship worldwide. And we may include bonus items for anyone who is extra "nice" to us.
The record itself will be a 12" in a fetching black finish. Full colour artwork and labels etc etc. 6 tracks and about 30mins of sound produced with the aid of Wayne at Bear Bites Horse Studio. So it'll defo sound great.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not have these pressed in time for our final gigs in January so if you want a copy, this is the only way you'll get one!
We are recording in December so we anticipate everything will be ready to ship in February. Any questions or anything. Please let us know.
