	15 September 2004 ANNOUNCEMENT! WIFES TO WORK WITH STEVEN SEVERIN
	We've been bursting to announce this for a couple of months but it's finally official! The Wifes are - from now on - to be executively produced as well as business guided by none other than legendary Banshees bassist, top-notch record producer, thoroughgoing punk icon and all-round lovely chap Mr. Steven Severin. The fact that we're about to work with one of our favourite popstars and musicians of - yes - ALL-TIME has, literally, been the jewel in the crown of a terrific Wifes year to date. The first momentous step happens when we walk hand-in-hand into Wolf Studios in Brixton next week to rework Scumpop. Watch this space for more news.
