Our new EP titled 'This is Your Self-Portrait' will be released on the 31st of August, which is also Dan and Mike's 21st and 22nd birthdays. Produced by Sion and Jim Turner at the Waiting Rooms studios in Worcester, UK, the EP will be available at the first release in CD format but shortly after it will also be released on itunes. Wanting everyone to hear their music and united by the desire to take over the world in a Pinky and The Brain fashion, Sion are fast becoming one of the top underground unsigned bands to watch out for. Since forming in May 2004, Sion have played over 200 gigs having toured the US, Spain and the UK 7 times. The Hampshire band have an amazing hardcore following throughout the UK due to energetic live performances and rave reviews; "Their emotion-heavy clutch of universe-zapping riffs, hook and harmonies has to be heard by a bigger audience. Exciting, exciting, exciting" - The Fly - June 2007. Having won an unsigned competition on XFM the band played at the 2006 O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, and were invited back to play again in 2007 alongside Air, QOTSA and the White Stripes. This year has seen Sion headline shows in Spain along with 2 UK tours. A new EP will be self-released in August 2007 and the band are heading back to Spain in October, followed by another UK tour. www.myspace.com/siononline
