It seems one of our bigger jobs on a yearly basis is to update this page and just move the year ahead by one. So the band is continuing its extended hiatus, once again though below is the latest on the side projects and a few re-issues. Chris is working under the Bracken moniker and is currently working on the follow up to his We Know About the Need album on Anticon. Richard is working on new The Declining Winter material following up 2009's Haunt the Upper Hallways opus on Home Assembly Music. Gaz is Gareth S. Brown and has released two albums on Misplaced Music. New material on Misplaced Music is due in Spring 2010. Mark is Maggie8 and is working on his debut album after several limited edition releases. There are some plans for re-issues of older Hood material in the pipeline, the first of which will be a limited vinyl pressing of Singles Compiled and Compilations 1995-2002 on Misplaced Music due autumn/winter 2010.

Our past comes back to haunt us in this wonderful 35 song CD and book charting the evolution of several bands hailing from the quaint West Yorkshire market town of Wetherby. As well as a CD you get a book with stories and photos. Theres six unreleased Hood songs on there. We hold absolutely no responsibility for hearing damage or shock caused bt these recordings. Buy from Norman Records or direct from 555 Recordings.

Rather long overdue, but at last, here it is! The site's still a work in progress, with a fair bit yet to be added/tweaked/perfected. However, it's a vast improvement on the old site (if I do say so myself). So, welcome! Comments, questions, suggestions and anything web-related, please sent it my way or comment here. Kind regards,Sara
