We are looking to build on the success of our debut album Hiya with a new release on the Rising Records label scheduled for 6 June 2005. Producer Mark Daghorn mixed the album on the Focusrite console Phil Spector recorded Starsailor on. Shellshock will take care of the distribution into the shops.
A full press and radio promotion campaign will be run to coincide with the release of the new album and the band is going on a full British tour in May/June 2005, which will culminate in an HMV showcase, to support the record.
With ten sparkling new songs by Nigel Clothier, the new album, entitled Radiocity, is expected to take the band to new heights of artistic and commercial success.

SHARP PRACTISE - HIYA - PRESS REVIEWS
“ A lovely mixture of rock tunes, commercial pop, folk, ballad and even a little alternative…eleven potential number one hits here”
Melanie Vilnis – Australian journalist with 15 years’ experience
“After I heard the album the first time, I couldn’t get them out of my mind. That told me that there was something very special about this band and their music.”
Michael Allison – https://www.tradebit.com
“Really nice album, fusion of Brit pop & 80''s sensibility”
George Graham, WVIA Scranton, PA.
“We don’t often say this, but Hiya by Sharp Practise is one of the BEST we have heard from hundreds of submissions to Amazing CDs!”
Randy Anagnostis, Amazing CDs
“The stories of everyday life will make you think the group’s taken a peek into your personal diary and they are singing it back to you wrapped in the winding notes of guitar, drums and bass. The group remembers that music is to do more than make noise you nod your head to. Songs are landmarks for important events and times in our life.”.
Culture Shocker Newsletter
“The melodic rhythms, haunting lyrics and fantastic poetic prowess push this band to the forefront of today’s music.”
Alex Abercrombie, Funky Rock News
“If well played and well sung melodic music with some excellent lyrics is your tip then get out and buy the album…I can’t recommend it too highly.”
Andy Vaughan, Cockney Latic fanzine
“This is the making here, Hiya, for one of those pop (non-boy band) revolutions everyone’s waiting for. This is UK power pop, and should be handled in a super sad state - you will feel better having this touch the part of your brain that makes you joyous”
May Wiseman, Score Magazine
“When the last melodies of the twelfth track disappear, you will be surprised how easily you have befriended these songs and how many of them remain firmly rooted in your head”.
Olga Sladeckova, Pennyblack magazine
“I think this UK band has a lot of potential. Standout musical moments include the staggered vocal line on “OK” and the lovely piano work on “It’s Alright”. My favorite track was the rocking “Him or Me”, which really picked up the pace and sounded a bit like Sparks”
Jennifer Layton, https://www.tradebit.com
“Nigel Clothier’s talent for putting together an intelligent lyric seems to be matched by his ear for a hook…Sharp Practise is clearly a band to be admired and to keep an eye open for” Graham Vine – H&A Magazine
“We think Eve Got Adam has a particular swing to it which beholds the listener!
The guitar on Born & Raised is beautiful, along with the song.”
Teddy - Radio Airedale
“In the tradition of storytelling lyrics, Sharp Practise has a knack of writing simple but memorable songs of life and love…this is one band that should, in time, get a lot more recognition”.
EDF, Phase9 Music Newsletter
“Hiya is frequently spiced with building or tight rock guitar bridges. Nigel''s vocals are …a spot-on Gordon Lightfoot …Mark Daghorn''s production is fat free and clean enough to serve”
Adam Mico, Spunoutcentral
