Hurrah! We are now officially the winners of the 'band to be beaten twice in a row in the Trillians Battle of the Bands semi-final' trophy.

Can't help thinking we would have gone through if we'd had some fans there but I guess it was a good tele night.

Massive thanks to the few that came down - that would be Debbie, Stevie and Stu. Congratulations to Upon All who are through to the final.

Borough gig is off due to a double booking, so if you were saving yourself for that one then it's tough shit.

I'm off to bed now to cry into my pillow.

Alreet, clam down, we know it's been a while but here's a little update for you all at the request of two fine gentlemen who shall remain nameless.

We are officially through to the next round of Trillians Battle Of The Bands. Woo hoo! Not quite sure how that happend as Rob had an attack of the Ace Frehleys and couldn't play for shit. It must have been the fine turnout that we had - many thanks.

On the album front - as soon as a certain drummer gets his finger out (or his drumstick) of his arse, the artwork will be done and we'll get the little beastie out.

Good news! We're all done with the album. Uncle Al has finished twiddling all the knobs and apart from the artwork, we're ready to unleash hell. Listen to two of the tracks on our myspace page to warm you up.

Some more gigs have been added to the gigs page, check 'em out and get your arse down. You may notice that we are on at Trillians as part of the battle of the bands competition. What luck, we're up against last years finalists HED. Them bastards are going to get their arses well and truly pummelled! But because they are our friends, we're going to lube them up first.

Howdy chaps and chapesses. For all of you planning on coming down to the Enigma gig... don't bother, it's been knocked on the head. That means that you'll just have to wait for the Cluny gig in April. Good news is that you've got plenty of time to tell all your friends about it and get them to come along.

Speaking of gigs, must mention that we played in Bishop Auckland again recently. Cracking crowd once again so thanks to all who turned out. Shame the same couldn't be said about the one t'other night at The Venue. Piss poor turn out, freezing cold, terrible on-stage sound etc etc. There is a place reserved in heaven for two special chaps though - Phil (or was it Stevie Wonder) and Gary who persevered through everything and stayed till the end. True believers, we salute you!

Greetings one and all. Just a quick update for you all.

We've still got our Uncle Al beavering away with our collection of shit kicking tunes for you. Not too much longer for you to wait... honest.

Played Bishop Auckland the other night and rather excellent it was too. Loads of folk, cracking sound, news tunes, dislocated legs, maniac kebab shop owners and the return of Carl in a rather fetching coat!

Happy new year to one and all! We hope that Santy was good to all you boys and girls and that you had a nice time over the festive period.

We played our first gig of the new year in South Sheilds t'other week. Pretty piss poor turn out, but we kind of expected it as nobody has any money in January, least of all us.

The Head of Steam gig was a lot better apart from a broken bass drum pedal halfway through the set. Very nice to once again play with the metal/punk overlords Engine, and to at long last play with the awesome Red Letter Suits. Big hugs as usual to the faithful.

Got some new songs in the pipeline. Expect the unexpected.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells etc etc - not long till Santy comes down your chimney eh? Rob has now put on his Christmas list that he'd like a new dentist as that's the reason we didn't play the gig at Whitley Bay last weekend.

Lovely lass apparently, but she's a bit fond of the old Black & Decker. Never mind, we have it on good authority from two fine chaps that even though we didn't turn up, we didn't come last in the competition!

"How's that big beastie of an album coming on" we hear you cry. Well we're still mixing - well Ally is and we're just harping on at him to make it louder. Still hoping to get it done before Christmas but it looks likely that you'll not get your hands on a copy until 2007.

The gigs page has been updated with two new ones for 2007 so get them put in your diary.

Nowt more to add other than get yourselves down to the Central next weekend if you can. Not sure where we are on the bill so turn up early and kick start your festive celebrations with a bit of tinnitus.

SFN get through to the final of INSANGEL Battle of the Bands! Yes that's right, we've battled off some hefty contenders and made it to the final which we hope to see you all at, showing your support on the 19th this month. We've met some great bands through this competition and hope to be playing alongside some of them really soon.

On the recording front - all the vocals are now finished and we are at the mixing stage and hope to have the completed album ready for your xmas stockings.

As an early xmas present, there's a lovely flashy banner for any of you who have a myspace profile or website and wish to have the mighty SFN gracing your screen. You can get it from our myspage page just follow the link on the right.

Thats all for now folks

Many thanks to all those who came down to Blyth the other night. It was very nice to play with our good pal Andy and the other Engine chaps, and also Hung Like Jack who travelled a canny way to play for the good folks of Blyth. Technical hitches aside, it was a canny night.

Back in the studio this coming week to lay down some more vocals - full on Rob Halford screaming and a hollering for sure.

Later

Hello - not much to update you on at the moment. Apart from the fact that we've been in the studio with our uncle Al, recording one big, bad motherfucker of an album.

We've been going at it hammer and tongs and have got 12 tracks laid down for you lads and lasses. It's all sounding pretty damn cool at the moment and we can't wait to get it out there for you all.

That's it for now, apart from to say that Stu is alive and well and over his illness.

Stu has gone and got himself another bout of AIDS. We're sure you all know what a bugger it is to shift and will wish him a speedy recovery.

Even though we aren't on, try and get yourselves along to see 3 other cracking bands, Firelight, 1000 Lies and Fyreon.

What a pisser! Anyone who is anyone will know what we are on about - that's right, Trillians Battle of the Bands semi-final.

So close yet so far. If you were there you'd have seen us going at it hammer and tongs but to no avail. Despite a performance; the magnitude of which Trillians has never witnessed before, we were pipped at the post, leading to allegations of match fixing akin to the recent Italian football scandal.

We would like to say a massive, huge, fuck off THANKS to everyone that has supported us along the way - without your wooping and a hollering we wouldn't have got as far as we did - good looks can only get you so far you know!

We also need to give a shout out to all the bands we've played with so far including Firelight, 1000 Lies, Project Underground and the awesome Mispent Youth.

Lastly - we wish the mighty HED all the luck in the world for the finals next week - we'll be there watching our comrades rock the fuck out and hopefully bringing back the bacon - Ashington stylee.

Wooo Hooo! Through to the semi-finals of Trillians Battle of the Bands! Pretty good going eh? Make sure that you get yourselves down there on Wednesday 2nd August to watch us shake our shit. To all those who were there to cheer us on - thanks!

Great to see a legend among legends, Mr Rob Kirtley, back on the music scene - we've missed you brethren in rock!

In case you missed the gig, we were up against Firelight who are thorougly nice chaps. You've got another chance to see us on with them in August (check gigs page for date) and there is also 1000 Lies who we played with in the 2nd heat - make sure you get your greasy arses down to that one.

We played with our old muckers Junkster t'other night in Sunderland at the Ivy House. We felt like Roy fucking Castle after playing in that place - we are now saving up for lung transplants but hopefully will be fit for the Blyth and Stockton gigs.

A hearty hello and a huge THANKS. Why you ask, cos we are through to the quarter finals of Trillians Battle of the Bands, that's why, and I'm sure we couldn't have done it without your help. Your support is much appreciated.

Well done to 1000 Lies who also got through, and commiserations to Project Underground who didn't.

As soon as we find out when we are playing our quarter final we'll let you know. Get yourselves back along to Trillians on Wednesday 21st June to cheer on our good friends H.E.D. They aren't nearly as unpopular as us but they still need your support. On the subject of H.E.D, many thanks to bass destroyer Ruby for the photos t'other night. They shall be appearing soon on the media page.

Ta-ta

Welcome to the new look SFN site. Hope you like it, we think it's a bit more in keeping with our grubby sound - speaking of which - those of you who have followed us for a while will have noticed that we have a new set of songs that we've been playing.

We had been a little less than pleased with the way things were going at the end of last year - we seemed to be trying too hard to write to a set formula that in all honesty, nobody was quite happy with.

Basically what we are doing now is just pleasing ourselves, easing off the punk and edging in the rock, getting back to our roots and cranking out some heavy shit. We've slowed things down a bit and have been getting a bit more of a groove on.

We are hitting the studio in June and as soon as we have something for you to hear, it'll be on here.

Cheers

24/04/06
We will not be playing tonight at The Head Of Steam but there are still three cracking bands on so get yourselves along to watch 'em! Congratulations to Project Underground for winning the Castlegate BOTB and thanks to Taz and Em for putting us on!
SFN

22/04/06
Anyone attending the Battle Of The Bands at The Castlegate Centre tonight - if you get ther before 7.15pm it's £3 in after that it's £5 - so you know what you gotta do but hey it's for charity! Oh yeah and if your expecting a full on SFN extravaganza then think again cos the set tonight will be around 15-20 mins long - we just ain't got the stamina!

The brothers of loud would like to wish a happy new year to all you hearty listeners. The end of 2005 was a bit of a sad and low time for us but we have shrugged our shoulders, pulled our pants up, sacked the Philharmonic's and all amps are turned to 11 - fuck yeah!!! So keep your eyes peeled and your fingers in your ears cos 2006 is gonna be fuckin' NOISEY! Big shout out especially to our loyal massive - your patience will be greatly rewarded!!

Hey there gadgees and gadgess's, loads been happening in the SFN camp! I've moved jobs again so back to 9 to 5 which means no more slackin' with the gigs!! You'll get sick of us!!

We've been back in that dingy cellar of Mr Lee's working hard writing some muckle heavy, groovy tunes to destroy yer ears with. We're up to 5 so hopefully this means a new mini album on the way. All donations to the Sorry For Nothing recording fund gratefully recieved!!

There's a new release due from us soon - a mini E.P. with 3 corckin' tracks to keep you going till the BIGGY. John is just working on the artwork now and it should be out by christmas!!

Anyone who would like to donate a van to us or just some money in general would be held in very high regard!!

And finally a big hello to our friends in Hed - not one to miss when we play with them at the Central in Ashington - check gig page for details.

Yo, wot's up homies? Nowt eh? Cheers to the massive for attending the Goldblade gig. Hope you enjoyed it more than some of the cloth lugged twats that unfortunately seem to appear at some of our more punky gigs.

Keep checking the gigs page for updates - we've got a few coming up. For those of you who've ordered the 'Oldies but goodies' CD - sorry you haven't got them yet, they are in the process of being done and you will be notified when they are sent off.

One last thing, surely one of you must want my old kit. Could be worth loads in years to come when we become rich and famous (cough, splutter!). I've still got it but will be putting ads in the paper and stuff very soon so get your bids in quick.
Peace out!
Jern

27/06/05
Please make a note.....we will not be playing at the Head of Steam on Thursday 30th but go along anyway and check out the other bands. Support your local scene!

Hi-di-hi campers! Three cheers for all that came down to the Head of Steam the other night, and an extra big cheer for our friends H.E.D and Bobac.

Well what's new in the land of sorry you ask. Get clicking and jump to the merch page and you'll find out. Also...

I've got an extra special treat for all you guys and gals out there. I'm flogging my drum kit. This is your chance to own a piece of SFN history - A Premier XPK, rosewood laquer, 5 piece drum kit, as used by me on the 'Remember to smile' e.p. and all the Snatch demos. If any of you have ever paid any attention to the kit (just look at some of the pix we have on the site) then you'll notice that the snare doesn't match the rest of the kit. That was bought a little while after I got the kit and it is a belter drum, 14 x 6.5 birch (I think). The other sizes are 22" bass drum, 12" & 13" rack toms and a 16" floor tom. It's had some abuse, got a few marks here and there and the front bass drum head has seen better days, but it's a canny kit. I'm also chucking in the original hardware, that being - 1 straight cymbal stand, hi-hat stand, snare stand, bass drum pedal, floor tom legs, bass drum mounted tom holder. I've got a dodgy Pearl boom stand that I'll also chuck in. I'm going to start the bidding at £300 and the first person to offer me something like that gets it. Any questions or if you want more pix send me an email rastussnatch@aol.com

That's all for now folks, take it easy.
John

12/05/05
Aye, aye from the headquarters of all things 'loud and heavy'! Firstly thanks to Tom @ DCC for the Fishtank gig - it was class - good turnout and we got to play with a canny bunch of fellas called Random Hand (check out thier website on our links page). Secondly you should notice some considerable changes to the website soon (for the better)...... well if John reads this and gets his 'busy' finger out you should!

My recomendation of the month is a blast from the past - Paw who recently got back together much to my delight - look for thier first album Dragline (if you can find it) it is a belta and if you like us noisy fuckers you should like this! Enjoy.
Stu

10/04/05
Greetings one and all. A huge, hearty thanx to all who came down to the Archer on Maunday Thursday. We were overwelmed with the phenomanal demand for our CDs and T-shirts and thank each and everyone of you. A mighty big shout goes out to Tripdash for being a such nice chaps and a cracking band. And whoever the first band was - didn't catch your name.

The gigs page has been updated, wow, a gig a month, aren't you a bunch of lucky fuckers? Hope to see some of you there who bought some stuff and of course we expect to see the massive rocking it up big style. Recomendation for the month - listen to the new Favez album, it rocks big style!
John

19/02/05
Greetings. Bet you weren't expecting this eh? Me, keeping to my word and updating the site. Fucking hell, wonders will never cease. For the benefit of Stevie Wonder and anyone else who has no eyes, I've pissed about a bit and re-vamped the site. It's pretty much the same just...different. Hope everyone likes it, if not, it's tough shit.

We've been working on some new shit, pissing about with some old shit and watching shit films...literally! Hopefully everyone will come down and support us at the next gig which is at the Archer, and I believe is one of the last gigs to be put on there as they are turning it into some kind of yuppie place. Just aswell, we haven't got nearly enough of them sort of places.
John

04/02/05
Belated New Year greetings one and all. As some of you will know, we played our first gig of 2005 t'other week supporting the Negatives. Cheers to all that came down, nice to see some new faces. Thanks to the Negatives for being nice chaps and letting us use the drums and such like. That's it for now. Keep checking back for updates which will be more frequent...I promise.
John, Stu & Rob

25/12/04
Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas! Yeah I know we haven't been updating the site very often but it is on my list of New Year resolutions along with stop drinking, stop eating as much and start practicing more. I do propose to re-vamp the site at some point in the not too distant future so keep checking back to see if I keep to my word. Since the last update we've been doing fuck all to be honest. We're full of good intentions but they never seem to come to much. Hopefully that'll change in the New Year.

Anyway, a couple of things to report - Rob has landed himself a new day job. Can't really remember what it is but he is going to be getting more money. Expect to see some new guitars in 2005. I've got myself a new job aswell, doing more web related stuff, so with any luck I'll be able to do some cool shit with this site at the expense of others. Don't expect to see a new drum kit cos it doesn't pay that much more. Stu hasn't got himself a new job but he's only been been in this job since the middle of the year so he's not due for a change just yet.

We've got our first gig for 2005 at the Stout Fiddler on January 22nd. I think we're supporting a band called The Negatives but will confirm this later on the gigs page. We will get some more sorted so keep checking the gigs page for updates.

Not much else to say other than we hope you all have a cool yule and get loads of presents off Santy. To our devoted following - you all deserve to get loads of stuff for Christmas (and not just sticky white stuff from a bearded guys massive sack) cos of your continued support throughout the year and we look forward to seeing you in 2005. You guys fucking rock and make it all worthwhile.
Peace, goodwill and rock n' fucking roll.
John, Stu & Rob

05/11/04
Wow, finally an update!
Yeah, we're really lazy, but you all knew that anyway.
Big thanks to all who came to see us rock the Stout Fiddler t'other week. Nice to see friends, both old and new.
A big shout goes out to the Star Souls and Mispent Youth for being thoroughly nice chaps and helping out with the gear.
No gigs on the horizon as yet but big efforts will be made to get some gigs sorted for the New Year.
Top of my recomendations for this month is the new Hot Water Music album. A bit more of a grower than their last one, but it's a corker. That's all for now folks. Have a good bonfire night and don't throw too many fireworks at each other.
John

06/08/04
Hey people, long time no update! "What the hell have you been up to?" I hear you cry. Wey man, loads of stuff.
I've had a birthday, funny but I had one on exactly the same date last year! I got loads of stuff and can heartily recommend the new Bad Religion album (thanks Stu, f**king magic it is) and the old, first Van Halen album (nice one bro - aint talking 'bout love - an absolute f**king classic tune!)
Stu has got himself a new job. Yes I know you all thought we were full time rock stars, but you were wrong. Crates of beer don't pay the f**king rent you know.
Rob has got a dog. A big, old grey thing called Chester. Its former owners naffed off abroad and instead of taking the dog with them or putting it down, they gave it to Rob. Cruel bastards! It's got a long painful death now instead of a quick painless injection.
We've also been rehearsing hard... honest! We've got two new tunes which are soon to be classics. One of which we opened with at the UK Subs gig. On that note, thanks as always go to the every loyal SFN massive. We always appreciate you f**kers turning out, especially when it costs you money and it doesn't go to us.
Keep checking the gigs page cos with any luck we'll get some more before long.
On a final note, Rob was trawling through his old vinyl the other day and happened upon the first Love/Hate album. He told me that you have to check it out cos it's a cracking album. Vocals from a bloke that's just had his knackers crushed in a vice, and a sound that's bigger than a blue whales cock.
Ta-ta for now.
Jern

05/05/04
A thousand thanks to all that turned up to see us on Tuesday with Minus. Not the best of gigs what with technical difficulties and lack of soundcheck. Never mind, everyone we spoke to said we sounded great so as long as you all enjoyed it then that's fine by us. Nice to see some old friends there, even if they did miss the set. I'm sure they'll be at the next one and Nos will be rocking out whilst wearing his new SFN t-shirt.

The Casino Club gig on 29th March has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control - shame their loss!!!
Stu

12/03/04
Hello there. Been a little while since I posted anything, so here goes. Shame for those who missed the gig at Trillians with Not Katies. We only found out about it a few hours before hand. It seemed to go pretty well and the couple of new tunes we played seemed to go down alright. Since the Trillians one went well it was obvious that the Black Bull gig was going to be … a bit shit. Firstly there was a mix-up with the date. We thought it was Wednesday but it turned out that it was the Tuesday we were playing. There was a piss poor turn out (apart from the SFN massive), far too many mistakes to mention and a distinct lack of volume. But never mind, I'm sure the Casino Club will be a lot better. Before I go I just want to say a huge thank you to our ever-faithful SFN massive. We really appreciate you lot turning out time after time. Either we must be pretty good or you fuckers have got nothing better to do with your time.
Cheers me dears
John

09/02/04
ATTENTION - LAST MINUTE GIG - You can see us play at Trillians, Newcastle tonight.

Happy new year to you all - but not such a happy start for us - WARNING!!! we will not be playing at tonights show @ The Casino Club due to band injuries. There's a gig in Feb we won't be at also - details on gigs page.
John, Stu and Rob

20/12/03
Hey, this is going to be the last up-date of the year for the site. There's nothing really to report other than the songs we've come up with so far are sheer class and we're looking forward to playing them live. We hope you all have a cracking Christmas and New Year, eat, drink and be merry and we'll see you in January for some arse kickin', rockin' and rollin'.
Peace
John, Stu and Rob

28/11/03

Hello people. You'll be pleased to hear that the songwriting is coming on a treat and we've got a huge amount of new song written for you. Hopefully by the turn of the year I may have come up with another one to bring the grand total to two. I'm hoping to find some inspiration from a tape I found the other day that had some class songs on by the now defunct Wool. As cool as Wool were, I think I may be more inspired by the surprise sounds on the other side of the tape. T'was none other than the hugely influential rap-rockers The Hard-Corps. F**king magic, you cannot whack their killer version of Back in Black. I'm off now to practice my break dancing.
Cheery-bye
Dirty Bob

05/11/03
Thought we would surprise everyone with a slight change to the website. Hope you like it, everything's there that used to be there and there's also some extra stuff so get clicking. We are in the proccess of writing new material so gigging has been put on the back burner for now. Anyway, keep checking on the site in case we get anything sorted and we'll try and keep everything up-to-date.
Toodle-oo
John & Stu

CANCELLATION
Hey, guess what, that's right, the Blyth gig has been cancelled. Well actually it's been postponed, but it's at a different venue so it's as good as cancelled. It's now at the Kings Head (opposite the cop shop) and is on 8th October.
Not much going on at the moment apart from the gigs coming up, although we are in talks with our friends Burco about getting some gigs together. Keep checking the gigs page to see if we do get anything sorted. Apart from that we've got a couple of reviews of the CD. If anyone want's to read them go to www.punknews.org.uk and www.demolandmusic.com check them out and see if you agree.

Mp3's
The Mp3's have moved to the merchandise page in case anyone thought we had taken them off.

New Look Website
We're back and in case you have no eyes you may not have noticed that the website has had an overhaul for the betta we think! If you disagree TUFF SHIT!

Email Contact
Due to circumstances beyond our control the email info@sorryfornothing.com has been fuct and remains so for the forseeable future. Anyone that has been trying to get in touch with us either for gigs or for merchandise should email rastussnatch@aol.com

Woo Hoo!
After much waiting around we finally have the cds for sale. Just click on the merchandise button and you'll find details of the price and stuff. On the gig front, apologies to anyone that turned up at the Ropery at Sunderland. We only found out it was cancelled just as we were about to leave for the gig. Cheers for everyone who came to the gig on Monday with Demon 340. We had a good time, so we hope that you did. Keep checking the gigs page cos with any luck well be getting some more before long.

Another Fucking Postponement

Tut n' Shive gig not on anymore moved to another night. Not our fault. Details on gig page. Don't want to talk about it. Sorry!!!

Sylvesters Gig Postponed

Do not go to Sylesters on Monday 24th March if you want to see us cos we won't be there. Appologies for the short notice but we only just found out the gig has been postponed till Monday April 14th.

New look

It's now been almost a year since the site has been up and running, so we thought it was time for a change. You should notice changes in the next few weeks as we are twatting about trying to make things look as cool as possible. You can still click all the buttons to access the usual shite! Check out the new mailing list feature!

Penetration Support

Check out the University Of Northumbria on Sunday 15th December to see sum old school punk heroes (Penetration) and us lads wanging our guitars (and probably falling over pissed) in true rock and roll styly. Should be one hell of a night. Check the gigs page for more details.

No News Is Good News
Not much news this month. Thanks to The Gen Issue #53 for the write up...however we weren't too impressed with the Manics comparison, although we do think Rob's guitar playing is like Richie's in his hey day!

The CD and Van Dilemma
SFN money reserves are a little low at the moment therefore since we are in a hurry to bring you the anticipated release of our new CD, all donations to the SFN Benevolent Fund would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah the van's fucked aswell.

Stop Press: SFN in MP3 shocker!
Well folks, the moment you've all been waiting for is finally here. Two cracking tunes in MP3 format for you to listen to 'til your heart's content (well there will be when Stu works out how to put them on the site). And before you ask, yes that does mean that the CD is finished, well.......almost. Uncle Al has burnt all the songs onto disk for us so it is now just a matter of settling on a title, getting the artwork finished and getting everything copied. Hopefully you will agree that it has been well worth the wait. If you don't, well you must be deaf or stupid or just want a good hiding.

Barrels Gig
Many thanks to everyone that turned up at the Barrels in Berwick, it was much appreciated after we had such a shite journey up. The van decided to have one of its funny turns and burst one of the water pipes making us a tad late. Never mind, we made it in the end and it was nice to be playing with our old friends Hed after such a long time. A big shout goes out to the official SFN photographer, Mr Stu (I don't look anything like Billy Corgan) Youll for another set of cracking photos.

Newcastle Uni gig

Ye Olde Cannon gig, 10th Sept
HELLISH CHEAP LAGER! GREAT! Shame about the date being moved from the Tuesday. Maybe more punters would have turned up. Cheers to Phil for puttin' wu on. Good band on with us called 21 Down. Definitely ones to watch out for. Cheers to P Dodds and his mate for the kind words, hope to see you lads at the next gig.

Mini tour
The mini tour with Flatliner and Burco has become even tinier due to the cancellation of three of the dates (fucking venues AGAIN!). So the Queens Hall gig in Hexham on the Wednesday, The Boathouse Tavern in Blyth on the Thursday and Ashington Football Club on the Saturday are no longer on. The Cluny date has moved from the Saturday to the Thursday. Check the gigs page for details.

EXCITING NEWS!
We've been in the studio recording our E.P. It's sounding rather LARGE at the moment thanks to premium knobs twiddler, Uncle Al @ Mill studios in Alnwick. The as yet untitled E.P. will have eight tracks on and will be available by mail order or at gigs soon.

Mini Album
We are going into the studio to record an EP on Saturday 10th August. This will replace the eagarly awaited single (we felt three songs just wasn't enough!) and should be available on our mini tour starting the end of September.
