Out May 15th on Thirty Tigers
EU Headline Tour Including London Eventim Apollo – November 17th

Four time Grammy Award winner Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit are back with aplomb and return with their exceptional new album ‘Reunions’ – out May 15th on Thirty Tigers. The first hit of music comes in the shape of melody-packed, anthemic new single ‘Be Afraid’ – listen here.

‘Reunions’ was recorded with the 400 Unit and produced by celebrated producer and long time collaborator Dave Cobb. Isbell is at the very top of his game and is widely acclaimed as one of the best songwriters and possesses a devoted audience who have pushed his last two albums into the Top 20 in the UK, and straight to the top of the US charts.

“Success is a very nice problem to have but I think ‘how do I get through it and not lose what made me good in the first place?’” he says. “A lot of these songs and the overall concept of this album is how do I progress as an artist and a human being and still keep that same hunger that I had when I wasn’t quite so far along in either respect.” Isbell’s solution: to go back in time with his hard-gained knowledge.

The result is a seamless collection of ten new songs that delve into relationships with lovers, friends, children, parents, and one’s self. There are rousing anthems that will have stadiums singing along, lyrical standouts that highlight some of Isbell’s best writing to date, moving looks at youth and childhood, a deep dive into the challenges of relationships, and deeply personal songs about alcoholism and parenthood. All of them offer us an artist at the height of his powers and a band fully charged with creativity and confidence.

At the back end of last year, Isbell sold out his inaugural, self-curated ShoalsFest, that took place in October in Muscle Shoals, AL, with performances from Sheryl Crow, Mavis Staples & Amanda Shires, in addition to Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit. The band also performed a seven-night sold out run at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium, making it the longest stand the group has had at the venue to date.

Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit will also hit the road in Europe during November, with ten dates across the continent. Following on from previous double nights at London’s HMV Forum and one night at the Roundhouse, Isbell will now take on the iconic Eventim Apollo on the 17th.

2020 is set to be a huge year. The sheer power and nuance of Isbell and the mighty 400 Unit is well and truly back and plain to see.

#1 Billboard 200 Album What You See Is What You Get – Out Now
Headlining London’s O2 Arena 15th March

Ahead of his headline slot at this year’s C2C Festival, one of the hottest country acts in the world, Luke Combs, has today revealed his exceptional new UK single ‘Refrigerator Door’. The track is the second to be taken from his Billboard Top 200 topping album What You See Is What You Get, which came out in late 2019.

Produced by Scott Moffatt, ‘Refrigerator Door’ is a guitar-driven country anthem, made to light arenas around the world. Always honest and raw with his lyrics, the track sees Luke sing about the often-forgotten memories held on his refrigerator door. Speaking of the track Luke said ‘Growing up my mom always had stuff all over the fridge. Like, take out menus, pictures of my family, our dogs and cats, pictures of me on the first day of kindergarten, letters from her friends, and just the whole thing was just covered in stuff.’ He continues ‘I just felt like there was something interesting about the idea that so many people have so much stuff on their refrigerator. It just kind of became like this place to collect memories for some odd reason’.

Listen to ‘Refrigerator Door’ HERE

March 2020 sees Luke Combs head to the UK where he’ll headline the legendary C2C Festival. Combs will be performing alongside artists including Brett Young, Darius Rucker & Eric Church, who also features on the album. Dates below:

March

Sat 14th                      C2C DUBLIN, 3Arena
Sun 15th                     C2C LONDON, O2 Arena

 

What You See Is What You Get marks Luke’s third US number-one album and the biggest ever week 1 for streams for a country album – a sensational feat.

Continuing his historic year, Combs’ triple Platinum debut album This One’s For You recently spent its 50th non-consecutive week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart—tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997. This One’s For You was the most-streamed country album of 2019. Luke picked up two awards at the 2019 CMA Awards, Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year for his hit “Beautiful Crazy.”

  • Two-Time Recipient of a CMA Triple Play Award for writing three No. 1 songs in a 12-month period

Out May 8th on Caroline Records

Reveals New Single ‘Flower’

Songwriter, singer, and multi-disciplinary artist Jehnny Beth will release her debut solo album, To Love Is To Live, on May 8th, 2020 via Caroline Records.  The record, which was recorded in Los Angeles, London, and Paris, features a number of collaborators, including producers Flood, Atticus Ross, and longtime co-creator Johnny Hostile, and guest turns from The xx’s Romy Madley Croft, actor Cillian Murphy, and IDLES’ Joe Talbot.

Today Jehnny Beth also shares a new song from the album entitled “Flower,” which follows last year’s stand alone single “I’m The Man,” which was lauded by the New York Times for its “bravado and tenderness.”   “I’m The Man” also saw the beginning of Jehnny Beth’s cinematic collaboration with acclaimed director Anthony Byrne (Peaky Blinders).

“Flower” sees Jehnny Beth heading in completely different sonic territory to “I’m The Man,” taming the former’s tempestuous pulse into something simmering and sensual.  Written about a pole dancer at notorious strip club Jumbo’s Clown Room in Los Angeles, “Flower” details the complicated depths of sexuality tangled in a fever dream reverie of desire and loss.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO “FLOWER”

Best known as the charismatic lead singer and co-writer of UK band Savages, who received Mercury Prize nominations for both of their now-classic two albums Silence Yourself (2013) and Adore Life (2016), Jehnny Beth’s voice, lyrical perspective, and incredible live performances have captivated audiences since the early Aughts.  But it’s in To Love Is To Live that Jehnny Beth truly steps into – and claims – the spotlight.  The album is a sonic tour de force, a dark cinematic meditation on the strange business of being alive. Throughout the record, she explores the deepest reaches of her creative consciousness…wrapped in a whirlwind of sounds.  Indeed, in accessing those darkest and least comfortable parts of herself, Jehnny Beth has created a piece of work that is stunningly cathartic, fiercely abrasive, delicately exposed, and rich for discourse.

From subverting power balances (“I’m The Man”) to marrying dense textures with stark instrumentation (“The Rooms”) to walking the thin line between the sacred and the profane to explore existential themes (“French Countryside”), To Love Is To Live sees Jehnny Beth giving her intense vulnerability a glorious voice – musically and lyrically — like no one else making music today.  Which is to say:  The album is a sublime tumble through life’s loftiest questions, an album forged from the ambition and courage of an artist putting everything she’d got right — and indeed everything she is — into the music.

In addition to her work creating To Love Is To Live, Jehnny Beth’s also kept busy performing and recording with other artists including PJ Harvey, the xx, Anna Calvi, Gorillaz, and Julian Casablancas.  She’s also brought her artistry to other mediums as well —  receiving a nomination for “Most Promising Actress” for a coveted Cesar award for her acting work in An Impossible Love while starring in Alexandre Astier’s Kaamelottt this coming July.  She also hosts a Beats 1 radio program called “Start Making Sense” and has recently debuted a new music series for Arte called “Echoes with Jehnny Beth,” which can be seen on TV in France and Germany and worldwide via the Arte website.

 

Jehnny Beth will be playing select shows throughout 2020.  Tour dates are:

3/8/20            London, UK @ BBC 6 Music Festival

5/29/20          London, UK @ All Points East Festival

Highly Anticipated New Album Set For Release on March 20th

New Track ‘Ia’ Out Now

Two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum country/pop songstress Kelsea Ballerini has announced details for her eagerly anticipated new album ‘kelsea (Black River Entertainment). Set for release on March 20th, Kelsea Ballerini has also debuted a new album track “la” and an accompanying music video.

Watch ‘la’ HERE

“As I grow up, as a woman and an artist, I’ve felt myself changing my perspective, from my view on love and life, to how love and life make me feel. Naturally that turns more personal, more therapeutic, and more rewarding. This album is honest, it’s country, it’s experimental, it’s fun, it’s introspective, and it’s 100% me. It’s the album that’s puts us on a first name basis.”

Having grown up in Knoxville, and currently living in Nashville, “la” is a love/hate letter to the entertainment capital of the West Coast. The “la” video is a dreamily shot travelogue of sorts, with an intentionally jittery camera following her around Los Angeles to her favorite spots. It is equal parts playful and visceral.  In the song, Kelsea lyrically admits her insecurities with fame—”I’m on my third glass a wine trying to find conversation in a room with bigger names”—while also enthusing, “Other times I feel like my blood is running Cali.”

Kelsea Ballerini first took the country music world by storm with her 2015 debut The First Time, which went on to achieve certified gold status. Since that time, her singular talents as a vocalist, songwriter and performer have brought a new dimension to the genre, blending mature, emotional songcraft, with youthful, poignant honesty, and a natural musical gracefulness.

She has consistently made history, becoming the only female country artist to achieve number one with her first three consecutive singles from a debut album, attainting her fifth number one in four years with the platinum “Miss Me More.” Additionally, she was welcomed as the Grand Ole Opry’s youngest current member. Her critically acclaimed sophomore album Unapologetically marked her second Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200. Ballerini has garnered two GRAMMY® Award nominations, won two ACM Awards, and took home the iHeartRadio Music Awards honor for “Best New Artist. Most recently, Ballerini received a 2019 CMA nomination for “Female Vocalist of the Year” and a 2019 American Music Award nomination for “Female Artist Country.”

With multiple platinum singles, her total streams exceed two billion to date. Her current single “homecoming queen?” is climbing at No.18 on the Mediabase chart and No. 20 on the Billboard Country airplay chart. In addition to touring alongside everyone from Kelly Clarkson to Keith Urban, she ascended to the status of arena headliner with her 2019 the Miss Me More Tour. It has all paved the way for her greatly anticipated third full-length album, which promises to be her most personal yet.

‘And It’s Still Alright’ out Feb 14th on Stax Records

2020 UK & EU Tour Includes Show at Royal Albert Hall 29th April

Today, Nathaniel Rateliff unveils a Danny Clinch-directed video for his new track, “What A Drag,” the second song he’s shared from his forthcoming solo album, And It’s Still Alright, which is set for release on February 14 via Stax Records. Watch the video HERE.

The acclaimed director and photographer comments, “I was excited to work on this tune the moment I heard its moody cinematic opening. I felt we could make a strange little film that would allow the viewer to make their own interpretation of what the song and video means to them.”

And It’s Still Alright’s lead single and title track was the #1 most added song at Triple A Radio in its first week of release. TIME noted, “…his new solo work takes him in a gentler acoustic direction, which is echoed across his upcoming album. His baritone has a lovely ragged edge, the sort of lived-in voice that seems suited for a campfire and a country lullaby.” In addition, Rolling Stone featured the album on their list of the “Most Anticipated Albums of 2020,” while Rateliff returned to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to perform “And It’s Still Alright.” Watch the performance here: http://bit.ly/2FP2759

When Rateliff began writing for the new album, the songs initially centered on the pain of his unraveling relationship, but the theme of the album took a different direction when Richard Swift, his longtime friend and producer of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ two acclaimed albums, passed away in July 2018. Across the 10 tracks on And It’s Still Alright, you can feel Rateliff faltering but never losing hope—hope that it’s all part of a bigger plan. While the songs are quieter and more reflective than the exuberant soul The Night Sweats have become famous for, they are no less urgent and indelible, as he pushes the boundaries and finds new depths in his songwriting—a singular voice embarking on a personal exploration of love, loss and perseverance.

To record And It’s Still Alright, Rateliff returned to Swift’s studio, National Freedom, in Cottage Grove, Oregon. He was joined by co-producers Patrick Meese (longtime collaborator and The Night Sweats drummer) and James Barone (Beach House drummer), who both also engineered and mixed the record. The album features additional contributions from Tom Hagerman (DeVotchKa violinist), Luke Mossman (The Night Sweats guitarist), Elijah Thomson (Everest bassist), Daniel Creamer (The Texas Gentlemen keyboardist) and Eric Swanson (steel guitarist).

And It’s Still Alright is available for pre-order HERE while vinyl and CD packages can be purchased HERE.

April UK & Ireland Tour Announced

Play Biggest UK Headline show at London’s Kentish Town Forum April 30th

With a slew of floor-stomping hits and sold-out shows, 2019 saw The Snuts cement their place as one of the UK’s most exciting new bands. The band continue their rapid rise in 2020 with their dance-pit anthem ‘Fatboy Slim’ and the announcement of their brand-new ‘Mixtape EP’ out 13th March on Parlophone Records.

Packed with hooks and a groove that will drive even the most reluctant to the dancefloor, ‘Fatboy Slim’ is set to be the anthem across the nation’s fields this summer. Speaking of the track lead singer Jack Cochrane said, ‘The song is a nod to the nostalgic subculture of live music across the UK in the 90s and similar decades. Toying with the idea of sampled drum loops and an electronic music styled structure the track is intended to pay homage to Fatboy Slims notorious set at Brighton beach almost 15 years ago’.

Listen to ‘Fatboy Slim’ HERE

Recorded in LA with Inflo (Karen O / Danger Mouse, Michael Kiwanuka, Little Simz) and Tony Hoffer (Beck, Goldfrapp, M83) the track is the second to be taken from ‘Mixtape EP’. The release also includes the band’s explosive hymn ‘All Your Friends’, the four-to-the-floor indie banger ‘Coffee & Cigarettes’, ‘Don’t Forget It (Punk)’ and the heart wrenching ‘Broadwalk’, which shows a more vulnerable side to Jack’s writing and bares the depth of the band’s sound.

The band have been garnering a massive following in Scotland and across the UK with support from the likes of BBC 6 Music, Radio 1, Radio X, Absolute Radio, Independent, Clash, Notion and Dork Magazine.

Following their racuas sold-out UK tour last year and a run of dates with friend Lewis Capaldi between recording, The Snuts return to the live circuit in 2020, with a spring UK and Ireland tour, including a massive show at London’s Kentish Town Forum on 30th April.

EARNS BEST ROCK ALBUM 2020 GRAMMY NOMINATION FOR SOCIAL CUES

NOMINATED FOR “ALTERNATIVE ROCK SONG OF THE YEAR” AND “ALTERNATIVE ROCK ARTIST OF THE YEAR” AT 2020 IHEARTMUSIC AWARDS

“Having spent their glittering career dancing through different sounds, Cage The Elephant truly find themselves on this mature, widescreen fifth album.” – 4* NME

“Cage have a history of storm chasing across various musical terrains, keeping fans on their toes as they eagerly await the band’s next move.”Clash

Today, Cage The Elephant share a new version of their song “Broken Boy,” featuring Iggy Pop. The track finds the godfather of punk singing a verse and contributing backing vocals to the opening song off the band’s celebrated fifth studio album, Social Cues (Columbia Records).

Listen to “Broken Boy featuring Iggy Pop” HERE

Frontman Matt Shultz spoke of his adoration of Iggy ‘He’s such a pioneer in so many fields: lyrically, culturally, poetically, visually, musically, and stylistically. Only a couple times in your life do you have the opportunity to share a moment with a visionary and beautiful human as he is’ He continues ‘Grateful and blown away to have experienced and witnessed, not just his creativity, but also his kindness, humility, and humanness first hand. Such a testimony to the power of love’.

Said Iggy Pop about his collaboration with the band: “Cage is a super high energy outfit, living the Rock dream, so for a couple of fun minutes I was one of the boys. Sounds pretty wicked to me.” Iggy Pop’s latest album Free is out now and available here.

 The band, who recently wrapped up their two-month long amphitheater “The Night Running Tour” with Beck featuring Spoon in the US, return to the UK for the first time since their sold-out show at Brixton Academy in 2017 in February. The tour, which includes a huge date at London’s Alexandra Palace on 22nd February, stretches across the UK and Europe in February and March.

North American Spring Tour Dates Announced

Dance of the Clairvoyants“, the first single from Pearl Jam’s forthcoming album, Gigaton, is now officially available at all digital music outlets and at radio.

Listen to ‘Dance of the Clairvoyants’ HERE

“I can’t tell you how proud I am about this group of songs, ” explains Jeff Ament. “As you know, we took our time and that benefited us taking more chances. ‘Dance’ was a perfect storm of experimentation and real collaboration, mixing up the instrumentation and building a great song, and Ed writing some of my favorite words yet, around Matt’s killer drum pattern. Did I mention Mike’s insane guitar part and that Stone is playing bass on this one?  We’ve opened some new doors creatively and that’s exciting.”

As previously announced, Pearl Jam will release their much-anticipated eleventh studio album, Gigaton, on Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records on March 27, 2020 in the US.

‘Hotel Song’ leads the way, a potent, lyrical, literate display that traces Diana DeMuth’s path of self-realisation. It’s a dose of heaven” Clash Magazine

Following the emotionally charged anthem, ‘Hotel Song’, rising star Diana DeMuth returns with the devastatingly beautiful ‘Rose of Nantucket’.  The release comes after a pair of very special London shows with producer and collaborator Simone Felice (Bat For Lashes, The Lumineers, Jade Bird) at The Slaughtered Lamb.

With ‘Rose of Nantucket,’ Diana returns to the restlessness of ‘Hotel Song’, her smoky vocals chanting the chorus: “If you get lost in the howling rain / Cause some fucker changed that sign post to lead you astray.” Speaking of the track Diana said, “I feel ‘Rose Of Nantucket’ touches on the human experience of being alone and how powerful it is when we’re able to connect with another person.”

Directed by Nicholas Sutton Bell, Diana commented on the video, “The living portraits we incorporated are a big part of what brings this song to life. Each portrait has a loneliness to it but when strung together there’s also a feeling of camaraderie and a reminder that we’re not really ever truly alone, which is exactly what ‘Rose Of Nantucket’ is about.”

Watch ‘Rose of Nantucket’ HERE

Growing up on the coast of Massachusetts, Diana was immersed in a bohemian upbringing where she moved from place to place with hippie parents. That same restless spirit inhabited Diana: she always had a sense that there was something out there beyond where she grew up and that existence. At 19, after going to college for one week, Diana left because she was certain music was her path. For the past five years, she’s focused on just that, spending her time traveling and playing small gigs around America, while waitressing and honing her craft.

Diana and Simone teamed up with Simone’s long-time collaborator David Baron at a Catskill Mountain house overlooking the Shokan Reservoir outside Woodstock where the music flowed quickly and freely, and together they began to record.

New Single ‘Type of Girl’ Out Now on BMG

Announces March UK Tour

A new year – a new decade – needs a new voice, step up Twinnie. Having taken 2019 by storm, the rising artist kicks off 2020 with the announcement of her anticipated debut album, ‘Hollywood Gypsy’ – out 17th April on BMG. The fresh taste of what’s to come on the album is new single ‘Type of Girl’, out now. Twinnie also announces a run of UK headline dates this March, including a show at Omeara in London on the 24th.

Recorded at Baggpipe Studios in Sweden, ‘Type of Girl’ is a free-spirited, sassy pop banger packed with infectious hooks and a chorus that you’ll be singing for weeks. Speaking of the track Twinnie said, “I have a strong vision of who I am, and it’s not anybody else’s job to tell me. So that song was me saying that upfront to a future boyfriend”.

Listen to ‘Type of Girl’ HERE

Recorded between London, Nashville and Sweden, ‘Hollywood Gypsy’ is a pop-country masterpiece filled with irresistible belters. The album is catchy, yet emotive and brimming with charming honest lyrics that draw you into Twinnie’s world. Speaking of the album Twinnie said, “The title of the album pretty much sums me up.” She continued, “I am a traveller by nature and by heritage, so I am quite free. ‘Hollywood Gypsy’ is about me, my life, my artistry.”

The twelve-track album features the extremely hooky and Radio 2 playlisted single, ‘Social Babies’; the infectiously witty track that launched her ‘Better When I’m Drunk’; the anthemic ‘I Love You, Now Change’ written about the pressures she’s faced as a new artist in the music industry; as well as ‘Hollywood Gypsy’.

An amazing journey ushered Twinnie from humble beginnings in York, England to Nashville, TN. This talented country songstress, actress, and model has been co-writing with Multi Grammy Award-winning writers and producers, Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift, Shania Twain), Dave Barns (Carrie Underwood, Marren Morris), amongst others.

2019 saw Twinnie headline a sold-out show at The Lexington, play a set of phenomenal Country2Country shows, support the likes of Jack Savoretti and Lauren Alaina, win Best Breakthrough Act at the 2019 BCMA Awards, and appear at a host of UK festivals including main stages at The Long Road Festival and the British Country Music Festival, alongside supporting Kiefer Sutherland on his 2019 tour.

This is 2020 and this is Twinnie. Stand by to be thoroughly, wholly, brilliantly entertained.
