TEAM have been at it hammer and tongs for two solid years, writing, recording and pounding the country honing their ferocious live show. Sleeping in vans and on floors, midnight motorway snacks, copious amounts of cheap alcohol and living off minimum wage has finally taken its toll on them. And it is time to take a break. Rest assured that TEAM will be back stronger than ever in the not to distant future. http://www.teamtm.co.uk Having broken in their new drummer Chelsea supporting Nashville Pussy at The Charlotte, Firebrand will be going on a week long European Tour in May with Venetian Rockers The Rokkett Queens.
