Singer and frontman Andy Hull along with guitarist Robert McDowell were happy to chat to us for ages here at HQ about their brand new album ‘I’m Like A Virgin Losing A Child’, cannibalism, sweating, showers, beards and much more.

OK, this year we decided to have a Xmas party at Crossfire HQ and record a radio show featuring the Tunes of 2006 from our main writers who bring you weekly reviews here on this very website.

This show is 1.5 hrs in length and has a bit of everything on it, from chilled indie, to hip hop to in your face hardcore and metal and also looks into what bands we are all talking about for the year ahead in 2007.
