Those cheeky Winchester scamps, run,WALK!, have a split EP out today with the similarly-grammatically disin clined SIRS. Actually, we probably wouldn't describe run,WALK! as being that cheeky. And come to think of it, it's probably a bit misleading to call them scamps. We couldn't just call them "a band from Winchester though", and their off-kilter, occasionally mathy take on [...]

The digital version sees 'Sirens' remixed twice: 48K's [...]
