Red hot American singer-songwriter Charley Crockett returns with his phenomenal new album $10 Cowboy, out April 26th on Thirty Tigers. The first taste of new music to drop was the superb title track, which Charley recently turned in a captivating live performance of on Jimmy Kimmel – watch here.

If the name sounds familiar, it is. Charley is a distant relative of American folk hero Davy Crockett. He’s no stranger to these shores either – in the past few years he’s headlined Shepherds Bush Empire, Jazz Cafe, as well as playing End Of The Road Festival. Charley will return to the capital in May, playing what will be two electric nights at London’s Hoxton Hall on May 7th & 8th.

It’s been a long hard-fought journey for the Rio Grande Valley native. Starting out busking at Playmates Arch near New York’s Central Park Carousel, to waiting in line at Caffè Vivaldi’s infamous open mic night, it’s a journey that has taken Charley from the park to the big time. It’s a career that also counts supporting Willie Nelson, as well as primetime TV appearances, as he stands now as one of the hottest independent acts in American music. Read his Texas Monthly interview HERE.

After a DIY-inspired career to date, $10 Cowboy is Charley’s 13th studio record. 2022’s critically acclaimed Man From Waco propelled Crockett to new heights, establishing him as one of the leaders of a sparkling revival of traditional country and folk music. It was recorded at Arlyn Studios in Austin, produced by Crockett and his long-time collaborator Billy Horton.

Crockett wrote freely, over a two-month period, as he wound his way across the United States on the back of a tour bus. The resulting songs—raw, personal, vivid portraits of a country in transition—ended up being connected after all.  It was recorded live to tape, with anywhere from 6-12 musicians on each track, giving the songs the feel of a live performance. It’s a sound Crockett has been after for years. “The reason I cut it on tape is, when you get the right folks in the room, great players rise to the occasion. When that red light is on and the tape is rolling, you get the magic of a performance.”

Regular bandmates Fox, Nathan Fleming, and Mario Valdez are joined by some of the genre’s most talented players—Rich Brotherton, Kevin Smith, Dave LeRoy Biller, Jason Lee Moeller, T. Jarrod Bonta, and others, including a string quartet. Lauren Cervantes and Angela Miller sing on the album. While the musicianship and accompaniment are exquisite, they are also subtle, placed joyously, yet judiciously across the album.

Already an accomplished songwriter, Charley continues to evolve and grow and deepen. A lifelong student of Bob Dylan, he explores a style favoured by Dylan throughout $10 Cowboy, songs with no lyrical hook, just a turn of phrase.

No, Crockett didn’t set out to write a themed record. Or, through his studied eye, to find America. But with $10 Cowboy, he might have done both.  

Tiny Habits’ new song “Mudroom” is out today, produced by Tony Berg and Will Maclellan via Mom+Pop – LISTEN HERE

“This is an album destined to seal their foothold on the main stages, bringing the sunshine” – NME
‘Each track is intensely packed with teen-like vibrancy and palpable energy. It’s a total crowd pleaser.’ – Dork
“Infectious grooves” – Daily Star

Ahead of a massive, celebratory sold-out hometown show at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom tonight & with a second date tomorrow evening, The Snuts today release the official video for ‘Circles’ – taken from their spectacular third album Millennials, out now on the band’s newly set up label Happy Artist Records, via The Orchard.

The album closer is a euphoric epic made for festival stages across the globe. The video, shot on a cold, rainy night in Glasgow and directed by Michael Sherrington, features award winning Scottish Actor Tony Curran. Watch the video HERE.

A Scottish Bafta winning actor, Tony was last seen starring opposite Martin Compston in the BAFTA-winning BBC1 drama series Mayflies. He has also landed the new lead role in the upcoming Sky Atlantic drama series MARY & GEORGE opposite Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine.  It was announced last week that he will be joining the cast of the Outlander prequel: Blood Of My Blood, and his superb showing for ‘Circles’ marks his first ever music video appearance.

Tony says of the collaboration; “As a fellow Scot from similar roots it has been great to watch the band grow – not just in Scotland and the UK but also internationally. When Jack approached me about the role I was immediately drawn to the story which involves a local cabbie watching his life flash before him in the course of one night . I’d never done a music video before, but my father was a taxi driver in Glasgow so here I am doing a full circle – it’s powerful and intense.”

The Snuts frontman Jack Cochraine adds; “We first became fans of Tony’s when we saw him in Ridley Scott’s legendary film Gladiator and more recently his performance in Mayflies totally blew us away. To see a local lad from our neck of the woods on the big screen and doing so well is always inspiring. So when we heard Tony was a fan of ours and happened to be back home in Glasgow when we were shooting the video for Circles, we approached him and when he said he would be up for it, we immediately asked long-term collaborator Michael Sherrington to direct what we feel is an incredibly powerful and moving storyline.”

“Millennials is “a total crowd pleaser” (Dork), as well as “an album destined to seal their foothold on the main stages” (NME) and from start to finish, top to bottom, Millennials hasbeen made entirely to The Snuts’ script. As these four lads from Whitburn, West Lothian vowed four years ago, The Snuts wanted to be risky. And with Millennials, the millennial men of The Snuts have followed through on that promise. On their third album they’ve followed up, changed up and – fully, wholeheartedly, joyfully – revved up.

Another busy touring schedule is on the horizon too. With a full UK headline tour this winter, the band will take to the States for a full US tour in March, before topping the bill at Liverpool’s Sound City Festival in May.. Full list of dates HERE.

Off the back of a simply extraordinary, intimate performance at London’s EartH last week which saw the band play their entire forthcoming new album in full, Palace today announce a full Oct/Nov UK & European tour. The UK run will include their biggest ever headline show, at London’s Eventim Apollo. Pre-Sale & General Sale tickets will be available HERE.

The band recently returned with the announcement of their brand new, deeply personal, fourth studio album, Ultrasound – out April 5th, 2024. Its first offering is the stunning ‘Bleach’ – listen HERE.

Sat 30th​​LONDON, Eventim Apollo


The new record’s production sees the band reunited with Adam Jaffrey, 8 years after working together on their debut album, So Long Forever, and arrives off the back of ‘Part I – When Everything Was Lost’ and ‘Part II – Nightmares & Ice Cream’, the band’s 2023 companion EPs.

While writing the first batch of songs for the album, frontman Leo Wyndham’s partner suffered a late miscarriage. Ultrasound naturally became an open diary of a year-long struggle from devastation to deliverance. “It was incredibly hard to comprehend what had happened, how to deal with it and how to move forward,” Leo says. “The album is the journey of that experience – starting with a loss, then a period of processing, and then finally acceptance, release and growth. And being in awe of women within that. Their dignity, strength and courage in how they can deal with these things that feel beyond a man.”

Leo, guitarist Rupert Turner and drummer Matt Hodges began playing together in 2012 after fate had brought them all separately to London. The childhood friends released their acclaimed debut EP Lost In The Night in 2014, followed by the Chase The Light EP the year after. With three albums under their belt, So Long Forever, Life After and 2022’s Shoals, the band have acquired a mass of adoring fans across the world.

Palace gear up for one of the biggest years of their careers.

Jack Savoretti has reconnected with his roots and produced the simply stunning, new, first-ever-all-Italian-speaking album Miss Italia – out May 10th.

The first single sees a beautiful collaboration between Jack and Italian superstar singer-songwriter Zucchero on the renowned track ‘Senza una Donna (Without A Woman)’ – listen here. Originally released in 1991 as a duet between Zucchero & Paul Young, the track has sold over 5 million copies worldwide, and this elevated new version is enriched by new arrangements and production.

Counted among the main exponents of blues in Italy, over a thirty-year career Zucchero has enjoyed considerable commercial success, selling more than 60 million records and counts world tours and frequent collaborations with the likes of Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, B.B. King and Sting – contributing considerably to extending his popularity beyond national borders.

Jack Savoretti’s reputation as a singer-songwriter is perfectly epitomised by the collaborators he attracts, including cultural icons the likes of Bob Dylan, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Nile Rodgers among many others. However, and albeit being bi-lingual from birth, writing in Italian was uncharted territory for an artist who has been making and sold millions of albums for over sixteen years, releasing seven over this period, two of which have reached #1 in the UK album charts – Singing To Strangers in 2019 and his most recent release, Europiana, in 2021.

True to his musical upbringing, a unique combination of 60s/ 70s California singer songwriters and European chansonniers the likes of Charles Azanvour and Lucio Battisti, for Miss Italia Jack went on a journey that saw him hone his craft even further and in a completely different language. He sourced a who’s who from the contemporary song writing scene in Italy. A group of fellow craftsmen and women who he could collaborate with and learn from. In doing so, he didn’t make an album in Italian, the made the new Jack Savoretti record which happens to be in Italian. 

This came at an important moment in Jack’s life, as his Italian father had recently passed away. Jack explains; “My father was the anchor that tied me to Italy, the connection to my roots that I felt I was at risk of losing without him. So I went back to school. I didn’t want to imitate Italian music, I wanted to make it my own, combining everything I had learned over almost 20 years of experience from working in America, England, and Italy, merging Anglo-Saxon singer-songwriting with Italian to create something unique. I first had to learn to write in Italian before making MY album in Italian.”

The beautiful results are Miss Italia – an album that sounds every bit Jack Savoretti whilst also being a first.

With more to be announced soon, Jack will perform the following shows in 2024:

Kasabian, one of the UK’s best and biggest bands, are back and on fire with an explosive new studio album Happenings out July 5th on Columbia Records.  

Happenings is their 8th studio album and one of their best yet as lead single ‘Call’ sets the tone with its huge, popping, weaving synth riff, flavoured with backing chants and chiming grooves. ‘Call’ was the first song Serge Pizzorno wrote for the album and it sets the vibe for the delights that follow. 

“This was the launchpad,” frontman Serge explains. “Quieter on the verses, loud for the chorus – it’s dance music! The first bit is where you get ready, the second bit is where we all go crazy. It’s really fun and just feels like now. When I finished the track, I felt I wanted to go to a gig by whoever was behind it. Everything for this album was informed by that way of working.”

Shot by director duo Waxxwork, the video features a phone falling out of a plane and hurtling through the sky. Shot in Albania, where aerospace laws would allow, sky-divers jumped out of a helicopter with the video playing in real time – portraying an energetic, high-powered performance of the single. Watch the video HERE.

The follow up to 2022’s #1 album The Alchemist’s Euphoria, Happenings is 10 quick, sharp, visceral doses of fresh heavy hitters, drawing inspiration from the anything-goes art performance late-1950s. Veering between the dance floor to the mosh pit, tracks over three minutes were outlawed (well nearly), and with those 10 tracks clocking up to 26 minutes (“A minute shorter than the Ramones debut”), Happenings is not only an album that never overstays its welcome, but leaves listeners craving more.

Written and initially recorded at Pizzorno’s home studio, The Sergery, before the band later decamped as Serge and Mark Ralph (Zara Larsson, Clean Bandit, Rudimental) co-produced the final sessions together, 

First full song, ‘Darkest Lullaby’, is a timeless heartbreaker that makes dancing an inevitability. ’Coming Back To Me Good’ mixes sophisticated pop flourishes with a true ‘hug your mates’ chorus as it fizzes with wide-eyed hopefulness. It could well be called into service if things go well at the Euros this summer….

There’s also the kooky, soundtrack-inspired pop of ‘Italian Horror’, as well as ‘G.O.A.T.’ – an anthem to daily greatness which quickly transformed into an exhortation to Serge’s two young sons – and now the rest of us – offering them encouragement and the self-belief to face the world on their own terms. “Old friend” ‘Algorithms’ – released alone as a single last year simply because it was ready to go – brings the album to a fitting crescendo.

Once again Kasabian will make their hometown a creative focal point as they return to Leicester’s Victoria Park this summer on July 6th, which will be even better with an explosive set list that takes in their remarkable career – tickets HERE. “Thinking about where we are with phone screens, us being able to create something that people can be a part of in the real world has got to be a positive,” Serge muses. “I’ve seen it in people’s faces at the shows, that need to experience something that just snaps you out for yourself, to feel a connection. Well, that’s Happenings.”

“It’s 20 years this year since we released our debut album,” Serge concludes,” but we felt the best way this band, at this time, should celebrate that was by making a new album.”

And we’re extremely grateful for it.

Keane announce full details of their forthcoming special remastered version of Hopes and Fears, undoubtedly one of the best debut albums ever, on May 10th, exactly 20 years after its initial release. Pre-order HERE.

The band also take to the road this year to embark on a full world tour. UK & Irish dates include two huge and extremely special shows at London’s O2 Arena on May 10th & 11th. Final tickets for The O2 London are on sale February 21st HERE. Support comes from The Lathums across the UK and The Sherlocks in Dublin and mainland Europe.

Making up this 20th anniversary celebratory release, comes a special version of the original album remastered & cut by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios, as well as the unveiling of B-Sides, previously unreleased demos & rarities. 5.1 Dolby Atmos mixes come from David Kosten.

FORMATS:
– 1 LP Galaxy Vinyl (Original Album Remastered)
– 2LP Coloured Vinyl (Original Album Remastered + B-Sides & Rarities)
– 3CD (Original Album Remastered + B-Sides & Rarities + Demos)
– Limited Edition Box Set Deluxe Edition (Numbered commemorative ticket, Hopes And Fears notebook, band silhouette print envelope containing 2 postcards designed by Dave Lupton (1 signed) fold out postcard frame, 3CD, 7” Love Actually vinyl single, printed inner bag w/ handwritten lyrics & wall poster)
– 2CD Live (Original Album Remastered & Live Recordings from Mexico City 2024)

– Digital (All audio available on all DSPs)

On the same day as the box set release, the band play the first of two London 02 Arena shows as part of a world tour that kicks off April 1st in Mexico City before reaching Europe and the UK. Their US tour in September includes prestigious dates at LA’s Greek Theatre, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and New York City’s Radio City Music Hall. More dates are to be announced.

Keane recently took their live show to India & South Africa, playing these countries for the very first time and proving the ever-growing demand for the band worldwide. They were joined onstage in Mumbai with Anoushka Shankar to play a special version of ‘Everybody’s Changing’ – watch here.

‘Hopes and Fears’ was a landmark album for Keane and has set all kinds of records in the process. It’s one of the best selling albums in UK chart history having sold over 2.5 million in the UK in its first year, and a million in the USA propelled by their absolutely classic song ‘Somewhere Only We Know’. ‘Hopes and Fears’ is 9x platinum in the UK, a remarkable achievement. The album has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

Keane emerged alongside a new vanguard of bands that would change the shape of music: Snow Patrol, Scissor sisters, the Killers and Coldplay. They were the first to create a sound solely revolving around keyboards which enhanced the emotional pull of their songs. ‘Everybody’s Changing’ from ‘Hopes and Fears’ became a fan favourite and a top five hit.

In 2004 Keane were the biggest selling British artist in the UK. The following year they won two BRIT Awards: Best British Album for ‘Hopes and Fears’ and British Breakthrough act award as voted for by Radio 1 listeners.

‘Somewhere Only We Know’ has enjoyed a recent revival on Tik Tok going viral in Asia which lit the spark for a global renaissance of the track which is currently

clocking up over two million Spotify streams a day, and in the past 12 months has become Island Records’ biggest selling single. In total it has been streamed over a billion times.

This year’s tour will celebrate Keane’s acclaimed body of work from their imperious debut ‘Hopes and Fears’ through to their 2019 studio album ‘Cause and Effect’ 

Lead singer Tom Chaplin says; “I remember standing by that amazing old mixing desk at Heliocentric Studios where we made Hopes and Fears, listening to an early mix of Somewhere Only We Know. I had this feeling that we’d come up with something that had an extra bit of magic. Making music is so often a process full of doubt…but on this occasion there was something undeniable about what we’d created. Clearly a lot of people felt the same when the album came out!”

Founding band member and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley said: “When I think about these songs, I still picture us playing them in little rooms in pubs around the UK. I remember how exciting it was watching the crowds start to grow. Those songs opened the door to another dimension for us; everything that has happened in our lives since then was born out of that moment. It’s an incredible privilege for us that people are still listening after all this time.”

To mark Valentine’s Day, Sir Rod Stewart and Jools Holland with his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra release ‘Pennies From Heaven’, their third offering from the exquisite collaborative album Swing Fever – out February 23rd.

The track sees a sensational interpretation of the early American classic written by Arthur Johnston and Johnny Burke.

As Jools explains, “It’s such a lovely song and you can do it a lot of different ways. The lyrics are very optimistic and positive, and in the mouth of Rod, they’re like modern poems of the 20th century. It’s an expression of joy and the message of it is, ‘It’s going to be alright.'”

Rod says, “If you need cheering up and wanna have a laugh and a dance this is the album for you.  Jools and I purposely agreed on no slow songs! 

In my entire career I’ve never known such joy when recording an album, and that joy I believe radiates through to the listener………..so get ya dancing shoes on here’s ‘Pennies from Heaven’ and she certainly is!”

The song arrives with a fun-filled music video, directed by Jeremy Deller & Jack Cocker, which sees a barn-storming performance featuring Penny Lancaster, as well as a full band and some spectacular swing dance to boot. Watch here.

For the first time, Britain’s new partners in swing have united on record to share their peerless dexterity on a tribute to other such truly great songs as ‘Almost Like Being In Love’, ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’’,  ‘Frankie And Johnny’, ‘Sentimental Journey’ and ‘Lullaby Of Broadway’.

Rod Stewart is one of the best-selling artists, with over 250 million albums sold worldwide. His signature voice, style and songwriting have transcended all genres of popular music, from rock, folk, soul, R&B, and even the Great American Songbook; making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums throughout every decade of his career. He’s earned countless of the industry’s highest awards, among them, two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, New York Times bestselling author, Grammy™ Living Legend, and in 2016 he officially became “Sir Rod Stewart” after being knighted at Buckingham Palace for his services to music and charity.

Some of his major hits include “Gasoline Alley,” “Every Picture Tells a Story,” “Mandolin Wind,” “You Wear It Well,” “The Killing of Georgie,” “Tonight’s the Night,” “You’re In My Heart (The Final Acclaim),” “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?,” “Young Turks,” “Forever Young,” “Hot Legs,” “Infatuation,” the unforgettable “Maggie May,” and many more.

Jools Holland left Squeeze in the 1980s and formed his Big Band with the help of ex Squeeze drummer, Gilson Lavis. Over the last thirty years his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra have gone on to score numerous platinum and gold albums, which have included collaborations with George Harrison, Amy Winehouse, and countless others, becoming the UK’s most successful recording and touring Big Band. He also hosts the BBC’s longest running music show, ‘Later with Jools Holland’, showcasing and performing with some of the World’s greatest talent, as well as the Annual Hootenanny, which is the UK’s biggest New Year’s Eve television show.  

Jools sums up the spontaneous charm of Swing Fever; “The effect that this music has on me, and whenever I put it on where people are, they feel this thing, they want to move. Music is an expression of a lot of different things, and joy is an important part of what it does. You can feel the joy in this music, and it’s unashamed joy as well.”

Pearl Jam will release their twelfth studio album, Dark Matter, on Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records on April 19, 2024 and launch a 35-date worldwide tour this May. The album’s title track is available now HERE. Produced by multi-GRAMMY® award winning producer Andrew Watt, Dark Matter, marks the band’s first release since critically-acclaimed Gigaton (2020). 

Dark Matter is now available for pre-order HERE.

In 2023, the members of Pearl Jam—Eddie Vedder [vocals], Jeff Ament [bass], Stone Gossard [rhythm guitar], Mike McCready [lead guitar], and Matt Cameron [drums]—retreated to Shangri-La Studios in Malibu where they simply plugged in and played with producer Andrew Watt at the helm. 

The musicians faced one another in the same space and communicated sonically at the highest level. Writing and recording in a burst of inspiration, Dark Matter was born in just three weeks.

As a result, Dark Matter channels the shared spirit of a group of lifelong creative confidants and brothers in one room playing as if their very lives depended on it. All of the blood, sweat, tears, and energy of a storied career felt renewed and poured into this one body of work.

The band members personally previewed the record with a listening party at the iconic Troubadour in West Hollywood during GRAMMY® week: 

Vedder said: “I’m getting chills, because I have good memories. We’re still looking for ways to communicate. We’re at this time in our lives when you could do it or you could not do it, but we still care about putting something out there that is meaningful and we hopefully think is our best work. No hyperbole, I think this is our best work.”

Ament added, “What Ed said about getting us in a room at this point, we felt like we were about to make a really important record. A lot of that had to do with the atmosphere Andrew set up. He has encyclopedic knowledge of our history, not only as a band and how we wrote songs, but as players. He could pinpoint things we did on old songs to the point where I was like, ‘What the fuck is he talking about?’ His excitement was contagious. He’s a force. I just want to say thanks for keeping us on track. I couldn’t be prouder of us as a band. I feel so grateful for the fans, but mostly for my brothers and these people I’ve made music with.”

The band is celebrating indie record stores with the release of a special edition of Dark Matter on April 20. Only at participating stores as part of Record Store Day. Get more information and find stores at www.recordstoreday.com

Dark Matter album packaging features light painting art by Alexandr Gnezdilov. Light painting is an artistic form of photography where images are created by adjusting a camera’s exposure for an extended period and using a light source, such as a flashlight, to “paint” in the dark. The album cover art was crafted using a large self-made kaleidoscope. Each letter visible on the cover was individually captured and handwritten midair with a specially designed flashlight to create the pearlescent effect. See more info on Alexandr Gnezdilov below.

About Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam is an alternative rock band formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. The band’s lineup consists of bassist Jeff Ament, rhythm guitarist Stone Gossard, lead guitarist Mike McCready, lead singer/guitarist Eddie Vedder and drummer Matt Cameron. Thirty plus years of live performances, twelve studio albums and hundreds of official live concert bootleg releases later, Pearl Jam continues to be critically acclaimed and commercially successful. The band has sold over 85 million albums worldwide and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

Since the earliest days, Pearl Jam has used its platform to elevate people and causes that often go unnoticed or underserved. Much of the band’s philanthropic work is accomplished through its Vitalogy Foundation which to date has raised more than $50 million for organizations supporting issues such as abortion access, climate change and homelessness, and drawing attention to the fight against diseases such as Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis and epidermolysis bullosa (EB). In addition to the money Vitalogy donates, the band also donates signed instruments, posters and merchandise to organizations to use for their own fundraising purposes. Compounding the impact of Vitalogy Foundation, the band has supported Jeff Ament’s Montana Pool Service building skate parks in Montana and South Dakota. Pearl Jam also lends its voice to notable causes like the West Memphis 3, voting rights and fair ticketing practices. Over the past three decades, the band has a long history of standing up for what it believes in and putting its resources behind those beliefs.

Through its innovative Ten Club and fan engagement, community building, coveted poster designs, and longstanding activism and philanthropy, Pearl Jam continues to have a lasting impact on generations of music lovers.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ last UK visit was a joy to behold from one of the best live bands around. Following the release of their acclaimed 2021 album, The Future, the band delivered two captivating sold-out dates at London’s Roundhouse.

The summer dates will also come hot off the back of Nathaniel’s forthcoming US performances of the Leonard Cohen songbook backed by a full orchestra in Denver, Toronto and Montreal. The shows originated in Denver where Rateliff is a part of the Colorado Symphony’s first class of Imagination Artist series with Broadway’s Mary Mitchell Campbell and RZA from the Wu Tang Clan.

Growing up in Herman, Missouri, Nathaniel Rateliff started his music career playing in his family’s band at church and music became an obsession for him and his friends. At 19, Rateliff moved to Denver where he worked night shifts at a bottle factory and a trucking company while testing out songs at open-mic nights.

Since 2015, Nathaniel has led the high-octane, horn-flanked band The Night Sweats. The band’s self-titled debut album was a breakout success. Now certified Gold in the U.S., it has sold over a million records worldwide. Their second album Tearing at the Seams debuted in March 2018 to widespread critical acclaim and included three singles which hit #1 at Triple A Radio.

Rateliff released his first solo album in seven years in 2020 via Stax Records. And It’s Still Alright peaked at #3 on iTunes’ ‘Top Albums’ chart, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Americana/Folk” chart, landed at #2 on their “Current Rock” chart and resided at #1 on the Americana Albums Chart for eight consecutive weeks.

Rateliff released a new live album, Red Rocks 2020, which was recorded in an empty Red Rocks Amphitheatre during Rateliff’s mid-September run of socially distanced shows. The band’s latest album The Future, was released in 2021 on Stax Records to critical acclaim.

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are Rateliff (vocals, guitar), Joseph Pope III (bass), Pat Meese (drums, percussion, keys), Luke Mossman (guitar), Mark Shusterman (organ, keys), Andreas Wild (saxophone), Daniel Hardaway (trumpet) and Jeff Dazey (saxophone).

The band will play the following 2024 dates. William The Conqueror will support across all headlines dates.

“A riot of edge-of-insanity vocals, percussive battery and ferocious guitars. More, please!” – 4* MOJO

“…a sonic assault, dripping with bad-boy attitude” – Uncut
“Shades of the White Stripes and the Stooges filter into the wild debut”…Unhinged energy” – The Times

“A thundering maelstrom of rock’n’roll” – Clash

‘High-speed check yer pants rock’n’roll with nary a care for personal safety’ – Classic Rock

His Lordship, one of the most explosive and exciting live acts to emerge from the UK in years, announce a fresh set of explosive UK live dates for May. This comes hot off the back of the release of their debut self-titled album – produced by David Wrench and Tchad Blake (Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys).

His Lordship will embark on 10 shows across the UK, bringing their frenetic, frenzied, rapturous brand of garage rock to the masses, including a night in the capital at London’s The Dome on May 22nd. The band sold out their debut UK tour in July, and then joined Jason Isbell on a sell out European tour culminating with a roof raising show at London’s Eventim Apollo. As well as headlining London’s Lafayette, the band hit the road last year, including a sold-out headline show at London’s Garage in November. Tickets on sale HERE.

A maximum rock’n’roll trio conceived during lockdown to blow the cobwebs away and remind us of what music has been missing, the band are made up of the powerhouse duo of James Walbourne (The Pretenders, The Pogues, The Rails) and Kristoffer Sonne(Chrissie Hynde, Willie Nelson). Their debut self-titled album was branded a “sonic assault, dripping with bad-boy attitude” by Uncut, with MOJO describing it as “a riot of edge-of-insanity vocals, percussive battery and ferocious guitars.”

The band’s first single ‘All Cranked Up’ hit the 6 Music B-List, and then saw the release of its follow up ‘Buzzkill’ – an angular, twisted ear worm, as well as the monster garage rock anthem ‘Jackie Works For The NHS’.

These shows are not to be missed!
