Following 2 months of intensive pre-production work, Leeds based rock band FULC finally return to the studio in October to record the follow up to last years debut album "Biting Insomnia". FULC are booked into the Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire, where the Darkness, Inme and Funeral for a Friend have been recent clients, to spend two weeks recording a mini album scheduled for release in February 2005 on Stunted Records, via Shellshock Distribution.

With growing interest in Europe it has been confirmed that FULCs debut album "Biting Insomnia" will have an October release in Germany and Holland via a distribution deal with Rough Trade Germany, the new album will then be released in Germany and Holland in March 2005, again via Rough Trade. FULC will tour the UK to promote the new release in Feb / March 2005, immediately followed by their first European dates - a 3 week / 15 date tour of Germany and Holland taking in Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Nuremburg and Dresden amongst other cities. The full schedule is currently being finalised at the time of writing.

Prior to all of that though, FULC hit the road straight out of the studio, undertaking a series of Jagermeister sponsored UK dates from mid October to end of November 2004 to road test the new material. Full tour details below .
