The Bombers have been busy recording and are half way through the album, they are recording in the same studio as the last album 'Aroused' with Steve Orient doing all the engineering and recording, already it is sounding really great with some new original material such as- 'Ready to rumble', 'Anger blues', Love alcoholic, as well as some bombers styled covers- checkout the Hank Williams 'Alone and Forsaken', and the Ernest Tubb - 'I never had the one i wanted', also some revamped older Bombers originals as the studio we use now is the best sound we've ever had.

Due to a family illness Andy has had to call it a day with The Hicksville Bombers, he will still be doing the odd gig now and again and we wish him and De all the luck and good fortune for the future. To replace Andy Shaun Cutts ( Boogie Children, Relentless etc) has offered his services, Shaun has been a good friend with the Bombers for nearly 20 years and has helped out with the odd gig so it was an easy choice to have Shaun join the band, his first gig starts 21st August at the Red Lion, Crowle, Near Scunthorpe.

The Bombers are playing saturday night at the Americana, and as usual are very excited about it, it really is the best gig of the year, and with the release of the new album 'Aroused' and a new t-shirt design it really is looking the best.

The Bombers have been asked to have a track from there new album 'Aroused' featured on the Americana 2010 30th Anniverary CD, the Bombers have played for more than half of the Americana's so they are very proud to be a part of it.
