They removed the 100 megabyte limit and instead made it unlimited. This means I can now upload Hot House With The Harwood in amazing quality (320kbps MP3) with no impact to my website server.

They’ve recently been signed to the record label 36 Hertz and have already released their debut single Breakdown featuring Leanne Brown. Make sure you give it a listen, you might learn something from it!
