Oh yes, there's definitely a nod CERNwards in there. Officially we don't have a release date as yet, but it'll be some time a few months into 2009, early March with any luck. We've just got to get all of the usual crap together in time (artwork, final mix, um.... loads of other stuff ) then we'll be able to confirm a date. It seems like this record has been perpetually miles in the future since about a couple of years ago, but we're happy that once it finally emerges, blinking in the sunlight, it's good enough to justify all of the faffing around. As my Nan used to tell me as she bounced me on her knee - "Nothing counteracts the frustration of waiting around for a bit like an authoratitive ear-walloping".

Press release:
Bristol-based riff scientists Left Side Brain deliver the Rock payload with their barnstorming third album ‘Collider’. This is the follow-up to 2006’s critically-acclaimed LP ‘Action Potential’ and the band’s 2004 debut ‘Equal and Opposite’. Praise for ‘Action Potential’: Kerrang!: "KKKK...Left Side Brain prove themselves to be one of the brightest lights in British rock. Go to the light" Rocksound: "8/10… a very worth addition to the Brit-rock arsenal." Classic Rock: “8/10… a thinking man’s modern rock band” Praise for ‘Equal and Opposite’: Kerrang!: "KKKK...The kind of band that gives you hope for the UK underground scene". Metal Hammer: "Superb...8/10" Aided again by long-time LSB producer Neal Calderwood (The Answer, Fighting With Wire), 'Collider’ doesn’t f*ck with the core no-nonsense LSB manifesto, whilst once again succeeding in ratcheting it up another mighty notch. Bombastic riffs range from the furious to the elephantine, run through with a blade of driving melody and harmony. However, album 3 sees LSB on much more lyrically forthright form: ‘Collider’ is a snarling, secular evisceration of faith and a plea for rational thought in an age of unreason. Lyrical subject matter covers ground such as religious fundamentalism in the UK (‘Weaponise’), the logical fallacies of the faithful (‘Ad Hominem’) and even a tribute to the late, great humanist author Kurt Vonnegut (‘Mastermind’). ‘Collider’ is released on 23rd February 2009. The band will be supporting its release with a series of UK tours in the first half of the year.

Hey so I for one am darned excited... word on the street is that "Ad Hominem" is merely the tip of the Skeptical iceberg... am I to understand that "Collider" will serve as the ultimate anti-Creationist manifesto?

Well, I don't know about that.... there may well be a bit of it's ire aimed in that direction though, amongst others It is, however, definitely fairly fundamentalist in it's pro-riff, pro-volume manifesto.

It is, however, definitely fairly fundamentalist in it's pro-riff, pro-volume manifesto. though none of you are likely to start stockpiling peroxide & shoe-bombing James Blunt gigs...............or are you?
