single, "Live Fast Die Young", as a limited edition 2-part 7" vinyl set comprising a coloured vinyl with gatefold sleeve and a picture disc. The release was supported by support slots with Lostprophets and The Automatic. Anticipating the imminent release of their debut album, October saw Haunts tour the UK as part of the 'No Half Measures Tour' which also featured The Holloways, Underground Heroes, Bear Hands and Regards. Near the end of the tour on 31 October, Haunts released the "London's Burning" EP. Unlike previous singles which were released both on limited 7 inch vinyl and iTunes, this EP was available exclusively in digital form via the 7digital music downloading service. The EP included a 'Halloween Remix' of "London's Burning" and a cover of Billy Idol's "White Wedding". Debut LP Haunts released their eponymous debut album on 17 November through the independent label Black Records. Entirely self-produced and recorded in the band's own studio, the LP reinforced the band's DIY work ethic. The LP was mixed by Dan Weller and Justin Hill of WellerHill productions at their private studio in Old Street, London. Haunts toured the UK and Europe extensively to promote the LP, both as a headline act and as a support band for White Lies and Eagles Of Death Metal. August saw the release of the "Love Is Blind" EP and a UK tour, with Sharks as main support. Haunts disbanded at some point in the months following the tour. Influences Although the band were cagey about their personal influences, they were known to perform cover versions of songs by artists linked to the new wave genre such as Elvis Costello, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Devo, The Police and Talking Heads. Comparisons to other artists were erratic but included a diverse range of bands such as Talking Heads, Bauhaus, Queens of the Stone Age, Refused, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand and The Futureheads. Banks' distinctive deep, dry voice has been likened to Nick Cave and David Bowie.
