Essex punks Giants are heading into the studio and they need your help! Having spent a few years on a DIY scene, they’ve decided to crowd fund their next recording. You can read all about it in the full press release laid out below.
Giants also have a few gigs coming up before xmas:
Earlier in 2014, Irish dream pop/shoegaze band Elastic Sleep released their debut EP ‘Leave You’. Now, at the close of an already brilliant year for music, they’ve unleashed a new track ‘Slip’.
Ska legends The Selecter have announced their plans for a full tour and new album in 2015. The news comes while the band are still on tour with The Levellers.
‘Subculture’ is the band’s third album since reforming in 2010 and its release will be prefaced by a twenty two date UK tour taking in many towns and cities. A London date is to be held at Koko in Camden on March 27th.
Full details can be found in the below press release.
Frank Turner is one of those artists who just never stops working. If he’s not recording a new album, he’s touring. If he’s not touring, he’s recording radio sessions. If he’s not recording radio sessions, he’s touring. If he’s not touring, he’s recording extra material for b-sides or stand-alone EPs. It’s no wonder that his solo career has spawned compilation discs of album length every three years. This traditional taking stock resulted in a third compilation – predictably titled ‘The Third Three Years’ – in the autumn of 2014. While this particular instalment of FT’s extra-curricular recordings is, perhaps, a little more reliant on covers and live/session material than the previous two anthologies, the twenty one track disc brings plenty of enjoyable material for the Turner fan.
The final instalment in the quartet of new Levellers videos, you can now watch a clip of the band collaborating on a re-recording of ‘Just The One’ below.
