The Über Rock Singles Club – Festive Frivolity And Frolics
We’re gonna let you into a little secret… we don’t really like Christmas here at ÜRHQ. Yep, we actually could see it far enough.

And in an era when so many bands are content to ape what has gone before and regurgitate tried and tested formulae, it takes balls to stick your head above the parapet and dare to do something a bit different… fortunately for Exeter quartet Sanguine, Tarin Kerrey has balls so big she has to wear them on her chest (sorry DQ!).
