Club AC30 continue the As & When series with a 7" from Exit Calm. 'Higher Learning' is a moody, late night slow tune that Mingus and Phil reckon sounds a bit like The Verve in a sloow opiate zone. Brian is about to fall asleep standing up....The eighth in a series of singles released by London live night/record label Club AC30 in their As & When series - all limited edition numbered 7"s. Exit Calm are a four-piece from Yorkshire, already making waves around the UK, stunning audiences with the intensity of their live show. This release is a limited edition 7" pressing of two live favourites 'Higher Learning' and 'Awake', amply demonstrating the where these guys are headed.

'Proper fuckin' music' as Mani has said, theres not many bands nowadays you can say that about but I completly agree. They're not just some random indie band that break onto the scene before disappearing after a couple of years, they're better than that! Finding their music on myspace was probably the best thing I've done, I have been completely blown away by them. And this is definitely a worthy debut single for Exit Calm in my opinion, and hopefully it won't be too long before I see them live either!
