In August 2007, 20 year old Sophie Lancaster was kicked to death, simply for dressing differently. As a brand that promotes the right to experiment and self-express through the way you look, Illamasqua is committed to changing attitudes towards subcultures.

In tribute to Sophie, Illamasqua has commissioned 'Dark Angel' - a short film by award-winning director Fursy Teyssier, that's a haunting rendition of Sophie's story, featuring the music of iconic British band, Portishead.

The film launches on MTV on 26th November - Sophie's birthday.
 

As a result, the Sophie Lancaster Foundation hopes to generate £500,000 to fund national youth workshops on tolerance. But they can only deliver this essential education programme with your help.
 

Please show your support and watch the film.

A few months back our drummer, Alex told us he would have to leave SOB due to him becoming a Dad. We were all gutted to say the least and wondered how we would ever manage with out him, hes a good friend and was a big part of the band. Luckily by chance after searching for months we managed to find a replacement, enter Will.

We have been practicing alot and the music is coming along. We have some cool new material and reworkings of old too which we all love and I know Alex approves too!

We played our first gig with Will at The Rockbar in Doncaster for Flood Aid, despite a few of us having `man flu` we managed to pull of a good set, Wills drumming was impeccable. Its onwards and upwards from here.
