Some quick news we think you might like – we've made the entire* Citizen back catalogue available online to download for FREE until 30 April 2010 (includes the album, plus all EPs and standalone tracks). You can stream all the music and download the files in the format of your choosing (ranging from mp3 up to CD quality files) at the newly overhauled music section of our site: http://music.acitizenabovesuspicion.co.uk.

As it’s a new section of the site and you won’t have visited before, the system will ask you for your email address in exchange for accessing the downloads – but don’t worry, we won’t add you to the mailing list again if you've previously signed up. Read more »

The Prisoner (rehearsal run-through, 26 March 2010)

in

A rough around the edges, warts and all, live run-through of a new song called The Prisoner. The studio version will be released for download later this month, so here's a quick take from our rehearsal session last week to whet your appetite, mistakes and all!

Best laid plans and big ideas

Brighton Source

The recent bad weather has scuppered Brighton band A Citizen Above Suspicion’s plans to shoot their new promo video – not once, but twice. “We don’t seem to be having much luck with this one,” said guitarist Paul Shepherd. “We released our new song as a free download on Christmas day but each time we set a day to shoot the promo we seem to get shafted by the snow.” Hopefully by the time you read this, the video for Big Ideas will finally be up in all its glory at http://bit.ly/4AGoY4.

A quick little note that our recent woes with the bad weather made it into local mag the Brighton Source. The full (although it's pretty short) story is available here: http://www.brightonsource.co.uk/news/1-latest-news/690-news-february-2010, and is hopefully in the print edition too (let us know if you've seen it yet).

We did of course eventually manage to shoot the video for Big Ideas, which you can see here: http://www.acitizenabovesuspicion.co.uk/video/big-ideas.

Just a quick note to let you know that the nice people at CD Baby, who sell our album Evacuate, have pledged to donate $1 from every CD sale to the Haiti earthquake relief fund. This only applies to the CD version (as downloads have to be more than $8.99 to qualify). The donations are happening on sales happening from now until 7th February. More info on their pledge here, and the Evacuate page here.

Brand new promo video for Big Ideas

The new issue's just landed and this month's Inside Track features Mark 'Spike' Stent explaining the mix for Muse's "Uprising" - some interesting insights and a few little tips to integrate into the workflow.
 
Speaking of which, this week we've been finishing off the tracking for the next new song – currently only has a working title so can't give the name yet. Ross did some excellent vocals at the weekend, so we're down to finalising keyboards/synths before moving on to the mix. It's good that we seem to be hitting some kind of stride at last in terms of cranking out the new material at a decent rate!

Snowed in!

You may be wondering why we've not yet posted a video for the latest song, Big Ideas. Well, our big idea to shoot said video has been scuppered by the snow - twice. First, we were due to shoot in the week prior to Xmas but the weather meant postponing until tomorrow... but the big white bastard has struck again. As I can't even get the car out of our street I'm thinking we're going to be very lucky indeed at this rate. Fingers crossed. Fuck you snow, I've had enough now! 

Genius
