somas album

I got an email from Soma a few weeks ago, but i'm only getting around to listening to it now.

Three of my friends, Mezer, Eric and Walshy are in the Band and unfortunately I have only been to one of their gigs so far. I've been listening to their songs all evening, and they're not so bad!

There was a load of free copies to people who knew them, but apparently I don't get one (something about not trusting me...)
Anyway, if you were wondering who is who on the album cover:

• Mezer would be the same as Cindy in the lower left
• Eric is the same as Marcia
• Walshy is where Bobby is
• And lets not forget Dave who is in the same spot as Greg

Head over to their website anyway and have a listen to a few songs!
