Sons of Alpha Centauri would like to thank everyone for their support to the band over 2014.

In April H42 Records released the second "Karma to Burn / Sons of Alpha Centauri" split 7" which was mastered at Abbey Road Studios. Three different vinyl versions were made available and dedicated live editions was available at the Camden Underworld and Hamburg Logo performances.

Over the summer we hit the live circuit in London to support both "Karma to Burn" and "Brant Bjork" and we also returned our hometown for an intimate show.

We are also proud to announce that in November our side project "Yawning Sons" had the debut album "Ceremony to the Sunset" re-released on vinyl by Spanish label Alone Records. Three different colours were available and the red version is only available in the United States, yellow version is only available in Europe and orange is for worldwide! If you would like to pick up a copy then this will be available in our shop early January.

2015 will see us complete a vision that we started back in 2010. To complete our series of six vinyl releases including the most notably the "Karma to Burn / Sons of Alpha Centauri" trilogy set which we hope will be delivered our most exclusive physical release yet. Once the vinyl vision has been delivered then "Sons of Alpha Centauri" will conclude the first phase of the band and begin the delivery of "Phase II".

Thank you to everyone as always for your individual and collective support around the world.
