Frank Turner’s current album ‘FTHC’ became his first #1 hit on the UK’s Official Album Chart. Appealing to a broad mix of genres - punk, folk, rock and indie - its success was all the more remarkable given that it is his ninth studio album. Now Frank keeps the album in the spotlight by sharing a new version of one of its key moments, ‘Little Life’, which now features KT Tunstall. The original version of ‘Little Life’ and the album’s subsequent ‘Farewell To The City’ combine to give ‘FTHC’ a feel of ending one chapter and waiting to see where the next journey leads to. ‘Little Life’ in particular is about those compromises we inevitably have to make as the years pass. While the song expresses a melancholic doubt about embracing a life far away from the manic rush of the city, its focus is really on the possibilities that this new horizon brings. Maybe love and a leisurely pace of life is all that a couple really needs. This new version is infused with a stronger romantic streak courtesy of KT Tunstall’s beautifully harmonised vocals. The duo revisited the song during a session at Eastcote Studios, London in March. Frank says:- “This song is one of the more important ones on ‘FTHC’ for me, and I wanted to shine more of a light on it. I was blown away, not to say honoured, when KT agreed to be part of the track, and she's brought a whole new life to the piece.” KT Tunstall adds:- “I’ve been a fan of Frank’s for such a long while - collaborating with him on this beautiful song was an absolute joy”. KT Tunstall has remained one of the UK’s foremost Singer-Songwriters since the release of her hugely successful debut album ‘Eye To The Telescope’ in 2004. The record went on to sell over 5 million copies and featured two of her signature songs, ‘Suddenly I See’ and ‘Black Horse and the Cherry Tree’, leading to prestigious awards at the BRITs and the Ivor Novellos. KT followed up that early success with albums ‘Drastic Fantastic’ (2007), ‘Tiger Suit’ (2010), ‘Invisible Empire//Crescent Moon’ (2013), ‘KIN’ (2016) and ‘WAX’ (2018), keeping the platinum sales rolling and cementing her reputation as a major recording talent, as well as a mesmerising live artist. Frank Turner’s live plans for the remainder of 2022 are characteristically hectic. He plays a handful of UK shows in the coming weeks before spending the majority of June and July touring North America. He then takes his four-night Lost Evenings fan congregation to Berlin for the first time in September before commencing his rescheduled UK headline tour.

After unleashing his much-anticipated project, ’53 Sundays’ earlier on this year, North London’s rising star Ebenezer will be showcasing his musical flair at London’s Hackney Showroom. The twenty-five year old rapper who dabbles between the lines of alternative R&B and Rap returns to provide his fans with a show, which you will not want to miss out on. Taking place at the end of this month (30th November), goers will see the talented rapper/producer perform various tracks from his impressive catalogue. Although still early on in his career, Ebenezer has already collaborated with the artists such as Craig David, Jeremih, A Boogie wit Da Hoodie, Ty Dolla $ign and Rejjie Snow – with undoubtedly more to come. Listen to Ebenezer's recent project "53 Sundays". Soundcloud Los Angeles post hardcore band Touché Amoré announce new UK headline shows ahead of their appearance at 2000 Trees in July. Support on these dates comes from Brighton's Gender Roles: July 10 – Portsmouth, UK @ Wedgewood Rooms July 11 – London, UK @ The Dome July 12 - Nottingham, UK @ Rescue Rooms July 13 - Cave Stage, Cheltenham, UK @ 2000 Trees Formed in Burbank, California, across 2007 and 2008, the band’s urgent sound, with its melodic sonic assault and impassioned vocals, has grown tighter and more refined through a trio of full-length albums and a series of EP’s and releases. Since those early days, lead singer Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens, bassist Tyler Kirby, and drummer Elliot Babin have created a trajectory for themselves through hard work and dedication. And with 2016's Stage Four, their fourth and biggest album to date, they cemented their status as one of rock music’s most talented, relatable, and visceral acts. “I don’t open up to people too much in regular life, but when I’m writing songs, I want to be as open and as honest as possible,” Bolm confesses. Touché albums have always served as an emotional outlet for Bolm. So when the time came to write Stage Four there was no question that it would be about passing of Bolm’s mother in late 2014. Stage Four was recorded in early 2016 in Studio City, CA with producer Brad Wood. Cathartic in delivery, highly sentimental, and sonically triumphant, Stage Four is an emblem of a band both living its dream and marred by loss. And with Stage Four, Touché Amoré unmistakably made the biggest, boldest, and most artistic statement of their career. Astroid Boys are:- Traxx (MC) - Benji (MC) - DJ Comfort (DJ) - Dellux (producer) - Big H (drums) Fresh off destroying arena crowds supporting Enter Shikari grime / rock collective Astroid Boys announce their UK headline tour kicking off in March 2018! 2017 saw Astroid Boys release their debut album ‘Broke’, receiving great support from Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, Annie Mac and Target! Their aim when starting the band was to create something new and exciting which they have certainly done and translated perfectly on their debut album. Broke details the thoughts and feelings of a generation who feel unheard and ignored. Astroid Boys took this as an opportunity to really demonstrate their ability to merge two rebellious genres into something of their very own creation. With the band sitting comfortably between grime and punk/hardcore, their sound fuses together multiple sub-cultures and perspectives—a growth that defines them less as a band and more as a voice for the youth which they will be taking across the UK this coming spring. Not many artists can say they’ve supported Trash Talk and Deez Nuts, as well as Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash, Skepta and Stormzy, but Astroid Boys have taken their live show to the urban and metal scenes across the UK. Along with an impressive list of tour supports under their belt, they’ve played at Reading & Leeds Festival, Download, Boomtown, Latitude festivals and T in the Park.
