WIRRAL band Guardians are rounding off a rollercoaster 2011 with the release of a new mini-album.

Follow Your Heart will be launched with a gig at the 02 Academy in Liverpool on Friday, December 30.

The Wallasey four-piece will play tracks from the album and unveil more new material.

Bass player Sean McMinn-Davies said: “It’s been a great year. We’ve realised two mini-ambitions – to appear in Kerrang! and play Wirral Guitar Festival.

“Normally it’s more established older bands but they gave us our own show which we filled with Guardians hits old and new.”

This year also saw the band change their name from Hippys on the Hill to Guardians.

And they say the switch has been well received by their growing band of followers on social networking sites and You Tube.

Rhythm guitarist Craig Henderson said: “We’re loving the response we’re getting over social media. And we’d like to see as many people there as possible on December 30 – we’re planning a storming show!”
