Tig Digs: Club Soda 'Breathe Relief'

We're loving this summery new track from Oxford four piece Club Soda, which is released TODAY through local label All Will Be Well Records. Breathe Relief tells a story of love lost and found, and is the first recording to come from the guys as a full band. We're particularly digging the accompanying 8bit music video (with lyrics) which makes you reminisce for old style video games! You can also download the track for free over on Bandcamp!

Eight questions with James Beau Barclay

(c) Megan Barclay

1. Who is James Beau Barclay? (a short introduction)

I am a 21 year old singer songwriter and producer hailing from bristol, currently at the end of my second year studying design at Goldsmiths in London. I enjoy cartoons, dressing up and being generally weird when going out with my pals.

I have been playing guitar since I was 9 however I only really developed a passion when I started writing my own songs at the age of 14. In the past few years i have also developed a passion for lead guitar playing and love playing the blues! I have an eclectic style and enjoy playing everything from fingerpicked folk songs to heavy blues rock with my band.

2. When was the recent EP recorded, and where? If there is an interesting story behind how you and any producers & session players met and started playing together, please do share. Will you be collaborating with OLMOS again?

I have been recording ‘Same Inside’ for the past year and all of it was done in my bedroom in London with a single LDC mic and audio interface. The chord progression for ‘Loving You Always’ was written by my friend Adam Davies who is an awesome guitarists. The rest of the EP was 100% done on my own as I had a strong vision for how I wanted them to sound and also wanted to use the recording process as an opportunity to learn production as my knowledge was quite limited prior to recording it.

‘Same Inside’ is dedicated to my late mother, (the picture shows me and her spliced together) Mental illness took her life and these songs express the feelings and emotions I experienced from this tragic event. I sing honestly about my spectrum of emotional responses to her death and how I sometimes feel like I am the ‘Same Inside’. It is a very personal record and most people listening won’t know this detail but I feel it is important to be honest about my inspiration as it may be helpful for other people going through similar experiences!

I would love to make another tune with Olmos at some point after the success of ‘I’ll Be There’. I am currently working with a producer called David Whitfield on a hip hop track. He has had some great success producing house tunes under the name Davidian but has recently switched up his style. I am going to be singing and adding guitar on one of his beats which i'm super excited about!

3. We love the guitar licks that hearken back to a golden age when rock was pop and it unified a generation... yet some modern electronic motifs are present as well. How do you find the balance between the live­ness of each song and the influence of, say, a beat that comes together on a drum machine?

Thanks :) I really want my songs to be reproducible live, so I try to keep the drums and bass relatively real sounding which is quite possible using logic plugins. However in future I would like to record using live drums and bass with the band! I have recently been doing some recording with Ben Wiley (bass guitar) as he is a great singer and we have done some writing together.

My expertise isn’t really with electronic sounds although I am keen to learn more about that side of production.

4. How did you put together the I’m A Designer video... how does this part of your life balance with the music?

I had to make a CV as part of my course so I thought why not create a song! I wrote it at home then filmed it on my own around my uni campus.

In first year I found it hard to balance the two as I felt I didn’t have enough time to focus on my music, but my course is very open and this year I have managed to combine the two, firstly creating a national anthem for a fictional country... I have also created a musical streaming concept called ReVibe.

In my third year I plan to bring my music and design together even more as we have a single personal project for the year. I would like to work more in the area of mental health and use my music as a medium to explore this issue using design.

5. We saw you gig a double­-length set in Shadwell recently in a glittery sequined tunic, the band all in white, and you kept the crowd dancing an hour longer than they’d bargained for. Who is your audience and how do you connect with your fans? Any crazy, fun, exciting stories are very welcome...

I love getting people to dance at my shows and will shamelessly ask people to until they do, or the gig is over! When I’m onstage I try to imagine I’m just hanging out in a room with friends (which is usually the case with my gigs), I like to talk to the audience a bit and give them some context to the songs and foreshadow them to give some anticipation!

I haven’t defined my audience quite yet, I feel I need to get more plays on my songs and social media interaction to work that out! I have been using my Instagram a lot lately as I find it a great way to directly interact with fans. Its also nice to be able to release small snippets of stuff as opposed to waiting for ages to release a single etc.

6. Could you describe your approach to recording: is it a case of Logic on the laptop at home, or do you enjoy getting a new perspective from incoming producer types? Is this something you are interested in evolving in the future and what advice can you offer to other artists, things you’ve learned along the way?

My recording is very much logic on the laptop at home, as I don’t study music it is hard for me to access studios for free. I also usually do a ridiculous number of takes when recording guitar and vocals to get them absolutely perfect. I have recorded in studios before but for me to get my own personal sound I prefer doing it in my room at the dead of night completely alone aha.

At the moment I’m focusing more on getting my current EP more exposure but I will definitely be recording more in the next few months!

I would recommend to others to always send your mixes around to friends to get feedback as when I’m mixing a track I always miss things. When you’ve listened to your own song 100 times it’s hard to pick out what needs changing.

7. We absolutely love how much volume & expression you get out of your power trio band. Are you planning to experiment with a bigger band sound at all, or an electric sound, an acoustic sound, any time soon? We’re curious to know how the current sound will grow or what aspects you’re expecting to keep as they are.

At the moment I’m finding it hard enough to get the trio together so no plans for a bigger band yet! Im currently focusing on trying to get my solo performances as good as possible and have been busking a lot as it’s is a great way to improve the quality of your performances. It's kinda like a combination of playing in your bedroom and doing a full-on gig.

[Since the interview went up, JBB has entered a competition with Busk In London - check his profile and vote for him, right here!]

In the far away future I would love to have a second guitar player and a keyboard/synth electronic kinda person.. The kinda set up that bands like Unkown Mortal Orchestra and The War On Drugs have! To get that bigger sound!

8. What does your dream gig look like?

Playing on Glastonbury's main stage on a warm evening just as the sun is setting, with some thin wispy clouds so it's just the right brightness to see without having sunglasses on.

I would be wearing a sparkly outfit head to toe and someone in the crowd would have a sign saying ‘play ‘Lights On’ it makes me cry'.

It would be with Ben and Dom and all my friends and family would be on the edge of the stage. I would like to bring them all on stage for a finale dance. That would be awesome.

James plays Servant Jazz Quarters in London on 3rd November, following a smashing support set there with Delaire earlier in the year. Tickets for the show available here.

Eight questions with Daisy Chute

(c) Rick David/Jana Tyrell of Pink Bird Recording Studios

1. Who is Daisy Chute? (a short introduction)

I'm a singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who hails from Edinburgh but moved to London at 16 to study music at the Purcell School of Music and King’s College London. I play guitar, banjo, ukulele, piano, kora and anything else I can pick up to pluck, press, strum or strike. I was brought up listening to a wide range of music so I have an eclectic taste and range of influences, from folk and americana to classical and jazz. My American mother learnt jazz piano when she was pregnant with me and claims I came out knowing those jazz standards through some sort of pre-natal osmosis! No surprise then that my first record was a jazz album, recorded in my folks’ living room at age 15. I then became part of classical vocal harmony group All Angels, releasing 3 albums and touring whilst at school and university. I’ve been working for the past few years on multiple projects as an orchestrator/arranger, session vocalist, teacher and composer writing and performing new songs alone and in collaboration with songwriting partners and with my folk band three and me.

2. How does your solo music fit alongside your various other musical projects, and how does the experience of composing and playing in other groups affect your solo music?

I love the variety of jobs I do and learning different skills and insight from them. I was always told at school I had to choose one career path - one instrument and one style of music - but now the more I do, the more I value how everything helps everything else. I get to be involved in some amazing projects as a session singer and arranger/orchestrator/copyist - from Radiohead’s recent album A Moon Shaped Pool, to the Shaun the Sheep film soundtrack. Sometimes it means I have less time to sit and write and sing my own music, but it inspires me in ways that would be impossible if I just stayed at home all day writing songs alone. I learn so much from teaching too - having to articulate what it means and how best to sing or play instruments or compose can be difficult but rewarding. I feel like it’s a way of giving back some of the kindness and help from the teachers I had growing up.

3. When was the new track ‘I Left My Heart in Rio’ recorded and where? If there is an interesting story behind how you and any producers & session players met and started playing together, please do share.

I met my songwriting partner and producer Tim Baxter at the afterparty for the screening of The Snowman and The Snowdog, the sequel to The Snowman (we were both working on the soundtrack). We did some songwriting sessions together and as it was going well decided to do an album. This song was born out of an idea of Tim’s - I’ve actually never been to Rio! But Tim went there when he was younger and so the song is a semi-fictionalised story of an unrequited love. We looked into the idea of nostalgia in Brazil - did you know they have a national holiday for it? The term they use is ‘saudade’ and sometimes is translated as ‘the love that remains’ - so we used that as one of the lyrics. It’s about what might have been and who they might be now and how there’s a sort of enjoyment in that blissful ignorance and wallowing. 

We were lucky to have Will Collier on double bass (who’s playing the gig at The Slaughtered Lamb on Thurs 21st July) and Ben Reynolds on drums. We jammed the song a bit at Tim’s studio in Kent and then recorded it almost live in the amazing open plan wood-floored/beamed house.

4. Who is your audience and how do you connect with your fans? Any crazy, fun, exciting stories are very welcome.

…Ah crazy fun stories! Wish I had some gems up my sleeve! Trying to rack my brains now. Well I can tell you about some of the fans who were from All Angels days, some of whom are very loyal to me too and who come to almost all my shows if they can make it. I’m very grateful to have a good network of fans who I try and stay in touch with online when I can. I sometimes get autograph or photo requests, and sometimes gifts in the mail, though I think our management didn’t show us some of the letters/gifts we received (we were pretty young) so who knows what strange things were sent! I remember my first encounter with fans outside Cadogan Hall when All Angels did their first public performance. We had been called up very last minute because Hayley Westenra had to pull out due to illness, so we hadn’t really announced we were performing and yet when we arrived there must have been 15 hardcore fans waiting outside the hall when we went in to soundcheck. I hadn’t seen anything like it before so that was a crazy moment to realise we had fans who somehow knew about the show and got there in time for our soundcheck! Since then they started up a fansite and posted about concerts and articles and tv appearances before we even knew about them!

5. What should we expect of the upcoming Slaughtered Lamb show? Have you caught Tom Lowman playing before?

No I haven’t but loved his very topical Brexit song/video online! Looking forward to hearing him live. The show is going to feature some amazing musicians who I’m lucky to be sharing a stage with. We’ll have the aforementioned Will Collier on double bass/guitar, Zara Tobias on backing vocals and harmonium, Tristan Horne playing beautiful cello, Chris Brice on drums and a few guests - Tim Baxter on piano and Adam Lenson on harmonica. The set is a mix of originals from the upcoming album and a few folk songs. It’s quite a new set and a new ensemble so we’re still finding our feet but those guys make it sound like we’ve been playing for years!

6. With so much experience performing from a young age, in productions and concert venues of various sizes, how do you prepare for a show?

I try and make sure I know what the set will be and that everyone has music for it! I usually feel quite responsible for preparing the music for everyone involved and forget to take some time to get myself ready too! Though sometimes I give my best performance when I’m least prepared and just let go! I had a concert recently where I felt pretty ill before so had to let go of the idea that it would be as good as I wanted, and ended up relaxing into it a lot more and giving a better performance than when I’ve been well! I don’t have any particular routines, though I suppose I have one fan who buys me a neat scotch whisky (with one cube of ice) when he comes to my gigs so that’s a kind of ritual now! I find it helps my singing oddly! Must be the Scottishness reminding me of home.

7. What does the rest of the year (and perhaps looking forward to 2017) hold for you?

Well, first finishing the record. Have a few more songs to write and record, and then some showcases in London and in Nashville to prepare. Looking at publishing deals at the moment and hoping to get some song placements in future. But first priority is getting back to writing and recording in the studio. Would love to do a tour next year and love working with Tigmus, so hopefully they can help with that.

8. What does your dream gig look like?

Difficult one! There are a few different gig scenarios that appeal. I’ve often said small and intimate is my favourite. I love being able to perform completely acoustically - unadorned and unfiltered and where you can hear even a whisper. So it would need to be a small enough place for that! But also where you feel it is a really live, unique, exclusive experience for the audience. On the other end of that and for more traditional venues I love the Union Chapel and Bush Hall, and of course festivals like Glastonbury where you might be sharing the stage with some of your idols. But I also love interesting spaces not designed for concerts like the Brunel Tunnel Shaft (where I sang with a theatre company called Arbonauts a few years ago), and would love to do some more outdoor concerts with beautiful views - rooftops in cityscapes, or beaches with open fires and open skies. I’d like to make more of the overall experience of it, to make it a multi-sensory event that crosses the boundaries of typical concerts. I went to see Miss Revolutionary Idol Berserker recently at the Barbican Centre which was truly like nothing I’ve seen before. I’d love to help create a musical event that was as surprising, innovative and forward-thinking as that!

Daisy Chute plays a London show for us TONIGHT at The Slaughtered Lamb, with Tom Lowman and Spy From Moscow supporting. All that for just £4 advance (here) and £5 on the door!

Eight questions with Dazy Crown

(c) Oli Steadman

1. Who is Dazy Crown, and where did the name come from? (a short introduction)

Dazy Crown is myself (Thomas Little), Theo Lewis, Thomas Rees, James Darley, and Philip Jones. Philly boy is off to Portland this year, so we’ve enlisted the breezy beautiful Mr. Darley to fill in for him. He’ll provide some fresh new flavours. The ‘name story’ is really lame if I’m gonna be honest. When I was starting the project I just wanted something that sounded like our music if that makes any sense? Y’know, when you hear ‘Suicide Silence’ you kinda know what you’re getting yourself into. I wanted that kind of vibe for the name - so I just came up with a bunch, and this one sounded the coolest.

2. When did you form, and what have the highlights been for the band since then?

Tom, Phil and I got together last September to play a show a few months after I released the first tune. I didn’t really expect it all to form into band, just because I didn’t really expect people to like it as much as they seem to -- but they did! So we got Theo in as well on drums, and played our first show together for our university’s battle of the bands competition. That was definitely one of the highlights so far, just because it was kind of our first time playing to a room with a bunch of our friends watching. And we won, which was sweet. The travelling has been fun as well; when we played our first couple shows outside of Norwich in London and at The Alternative Escape in Brighton. Some of us had never even been to Brighton before, so it was cool being able to see new places while sharing our music in them.

3. When was the new double A side ‘Move’/’Common Scents’ recorded and where? If there is an interesting story behind how you and any producers & session players met and started playing together, please do share.

Well, before Dazy Crown, I used to have gigs at this nifty little bar called Gonzos Tea Room in Norwich. I recognized the guy doing sound there as one of the members of this band I really digged called Box Of Light, so I had a chat with him at the end of one of the shows. Later down the line he mentioned that he some did lo-fi recordings for bands, and I was tired of trying to do it all myself - so I shot him a message! I’ve only ever recorded music in my room and on my laptop, so it was cool to head somewhere else and have a fresh pair of hands work on it. Especially because he recorded to tape. That was real cool.

4. Who is your audience and how do you connect with your fans? Any crazy, fun, exciting stories are very welcome

Not really sure who our audience is… family and friends? People in Norwich? The odd person from halfway across the world who likes our tunes? We’re all over Facebook and Twitter and all that, so if anyone’s down to connect, we can provide. Nothing too crazy about our audiences - just always really cool positive vibes and people having a good time.

5. How have you found the experience of booking a string of dates through Tigmus? Have you been to the three venues before?

Yeah it’s been good! Really nice working with people who like your music and want to help you out. It’s been nice and easy as well. We’ve never been to any of them, no! I’ve never even been to Oxford - so that will be cool.

6. How do you prepare for a show - and a tour? Any pre-show warm-ups you can’t play without?!

This is our first tour, so I’ll let you know in a few weeks! A few times before a show we’ve all got together in a huddle and sang ‘Ticket To Ride’ by The Beatles as loud as we could. That’s always a fun one. For some reason that tune is always stuck in my head, so it’s nice to have three other guys scream it in my face before a show. Get’s me nice and amped.

7. What does your dream gig look like? Any bands you’d love to play alongside?

Oh man… well anyone who knows me knows I’m a big fan of Mac DeMarco, so playing alongside him would be wicked. Him and his band are all really nice and chill, so it’d be cool to spend a night with them just jamming some tunes on stage. I’m sure some whacky night would come afterwards too.

8. What does the rest of the year (and perhaps looking forward to 2017) hold for you guys?

We’re not that sure yet! We’re planning to release our first EP in March of next year, and a couple more tunes along the way. Lots of shows in Norwich, maybe a few in other places - maybe some house parties? Those are always fun. If you really wanna keep up to date just follow us on Facebook and Twitter waheeey!

Eight questions with JYLDA

1. Who is JYLDA, and where does the name come from? (a short introduction)

JYLDA is my musical alias and the name reflects my connection to classical music – I've studied opera singing. It derives from Gilda, the main character from "Rigoletto“.

2. First up, what’s the music scene like in Berlin, and which niche do you fit into there?

Berlin is great for experimenting, everyone will find a place where they feel welcome here – but I wouldn’t assign myself to a particular scene. I love collaborating with lots of different people and that’s what the city is perfect for. At the moment I am working with a fashion designer on a very special / interactive stage outfit, for instance. And I just started writing a duet with another female songwriter and producer. (All very secret, so I can’t go into detail about it yet.)

3. We love the new track ‘Unchange Your Mind’ as well as the previously released singles ‘Superficial’ and ‘Cruel Machine’. Can you tell us about the songwriting process?

It's good not to establish too many firm patterns. I find it interesting to discover new ways for the birth of a song as often as possible. Sometimes I would start with a beat or classically, with some piano harmonies. And a lot of times I would use a vocal line I recorded with my phone when half awake, half dreaming. Writing superficial, I had another approach: I made field recordings on and around the former Tempelhof airport here in Berlin, layered them and built the structure for a song before it was written, really. I stuck to my rough and sweeping first recordings because I love the weird atmosphere they are creating: they sound dirty, broken but also alive, like something that creeps... All in all, it’s best to keep a bit of naivety when writing songs in general, I think.

4. Your music is described as “drifting between extremes, strong and sensitive, powerful and sensual, mature and naïve, cold and warm, dreaming and brisk, retrospective and futuristic at the same time” - where does the inspiration and influence come from? Also, does releasing the tracks through your own label give you more freedom musically, and are you looking to continue releasing the music yourself?

Some authors have inspired me lately, especially Sylvia Plath and Franz Werfel. The latter wrote a very good novel about the competition between and the cult of Wagner and Verdi and the way music is labeled. It's also interesting from the point of view of musicology which I am studying at university. I think a lot of inspiration has to come from the inside, though, or it just has to happen along the way when something catches your attention or fascinates you. I find it strange when people do something in order to get inspired. You don't become an artist by experiencing something interesting. The point is to be able to make something amazing out of things others would consider boring at first, too – changing perspectives. Then again, I can’t keep from using as many impressions as possible for songs!

Having my own label gives me absolute freedom – I can release stuff whenever I like. I'm a big fan of being my own boss and I like having full control over every detail of my project. Still, if one of my few favourite labels would approach me about a collaboration I have to admit that I might consider it...

5. What does the rest of the year (and 2017) hold for you: are you working towards an EP/album?

New tracks are waiting to be released in the next months and the goal is to start working on a new record in autumn.

6. The show at Servant Jazz Quarters in September will be your first London show (congrats!) - have you visited the city before or will you be sneaking in some sightseeing on the trip? Need any recommendations?!

Thank you! I've been to London twice this year already and I’m in love with the city. I’m sure you can give me some good tips about concerts during my stay, though? Hehe!

7. Who is your audience and how do you connect with your fans? Any crazy, fun, exciting stories are very welcome.

Once I had a girl come up to me after a gig and tell me that she wanted to marry me – sadly, I was too stirred to accept the proposal...

8. What does your dream gig look like?

An accurate and calm soundcheck and good sound conditions in the venue are crucial, of course. But the crowd and the atmosphere are even more important. When people get what you want to convey during a concert it’s the most beautiful thing. My dream is also to perform on the moon!

JYLDA plays her debut London show at Servant Jazz Quarters on 6th September, tickets are available here (and an absolute bargain!) Check out her tracks on Soundcloud here.

Tig Digs: Tom Lowman 'Blue State'

Tigmus certainly does dig Tom Lowman, and we can't wait to see him supporting at our upcoming Daisy Chute show next week (alongside Spy From Moscow). In a pretty topical and funny video where Tom is tied up by David Cameron, Tom premieres his new track Blue State, taken from his new album Tales from the Wrong Side of History, which is available to buy from iTunes here today!

Tickets for Tom's show with Daisy Chute at The Slaughtered Lamb on 21st July are available for just £4 in advance here - a bargain for the three brilliant artists on the line-up!

Eight questions with homeplanetearth

(c) Gina Hood

1. Who are homeplanetearth, and where did the name come from? Any cool merch ideas based on the name? (a short introduction)

Homeplanetearth are a four piece atmospheric indie band from Oxfordshire! We are, Josephine Panton, Thomas Panton, Gregory Holmes, and George Purnell. The name was a bit random actually; George brought a list of what seemed like a million names to the table, we went through all of them and then decided to not go with any of them and call the band homeplanetearth - the main reason being we all believe in a healthy planet, and equality across the globe! The abbreviation HPE allows us to do some cool things, but predominantly we use art provided by band members. Josephine is an aspiring artist so does the majority of the art/merch designs for the band.

2. Since forming you’ve had a productive and successful first year, including your upcoming slot at Truck Festival (congrats!) What have been the best bits? How has your experience playing in bands in the past contributed to HPE?

Thanks! We’re super excited for Truck obviously. I think some of the best bits have been some of the support slots we’ve done; when we supported JAWS at the Oxford O2 Academy it was just awesome to be supporting one of the bands that I (Thomas) listen to on a daily basis; and supporting ALXNDR at the same venue was amazing when we came out, it was the best show have put on to date and the crowd seemed to really enjoy it - was just a great feeling! To be honest though, we love all shows, one person or more, we just love playing. All of us apart from Josephine have been in a band/bands before, and i think that really helps with our cohesion as a band. But, also just the experience of playing live helps a lot anyway.

3. How is recording on the EP going? Where is it being recorded?

So we’ve recorded all the tracks now, and just need to mix the last two - one of which is coming out as a single on the 14th July! It’s very exciting! The beautiful thing with this EP is that it shows a massive progression for the band - we began recording the songs with 5 members which gave a much different sound for the first two singles, Phat Phil and Find Me; the final two songs are really quite different and show where the band are heading now we’ve had a reshuffle! We recorded the first two tracks with Robin from Neverlnd / Roberto Y Amigos, in his recording studio which was brilliant as he is a good friend and a very good technician/producer! The final two songs are being recorded at Thomas’ home studio (work in progress!) because the drums are predominantly electronic for these songs and we managed to find a really lovely sound for the guitar and synth through Gregory’s system.

4. How do you approach the process of creating lyrics and melodies, where does your inspiration come from?

It really varies to be honest with you. Sometimes Thomas will come to rehearsal with an idea that he has come up with, and we’ll all then develop it and usually it comes out completely different from the original idea. However, this can sometimes be Gregory’s idea which we can work upon! Some of the best songs we’ve written though have just been improvisation in a band rehearsal that we’ve then spent some time developing! One consistent though is that Josephine takes control of writing lyrics with a little help here and there from Thomas..oh and the drums, George generally does all the beats! Inspiration can be anything from an experience or an experience that others have had, or just something completely random! We never really plan it!

5. Who is your audience and how do you connect with your fans? Any crazy, fun, exciting stories are very welcome.

Everyone and everything! We write music and anyone can listen to it! We have social media pages (Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) which we try to reach out to fans/friends on, but we prefer to just see people and speak to them; too much is online in our opinion, human connection is much more important to us!

6. How have you found the experience of booking a string of dates to promote your upcoming EP with Tigmus? What are you going to do to prepare for the tour?

Tigmus are great, we’ve worked with them before and we’ll work with them in the future. Booking a bunch of dates in conjunction with our EP release has been really good for areas in which Tigmus are established in or have done shows in before as we can be pretty sure they’ll promote it really well! Some of the other places we had to go to other people, but predominantly we’re working with Tigmus at the moment. Practice, practice, practice, and have a load of fun!

7. What does your dream gig look like? Any bands you’d love to play alongside?

Dream gig, difficult! I think either a really small intimate gig with all our closest fans/friends (with good sound quality!!), or on the other end of the spectrum, headlining Koko in London with a sell out venue. I (Thomas) saw Half Moon Run there at a sell out show and it was just phenomenal, they were really emotional and grateful at how many people came out to see them, i’d love to experience that. Too many to name, but Foals have to be mentioned I think!

8. It’s a way off yet, but what are your plans and expectations for 2017 and the future?

I think our predominant focus is going to be to try and get on tour as a main support with a more established band, we’ve had interest in the past from some other bands so hopefully that will be something we can get on board with. Other than that, write music, do some gigs, and release more music, and probably go and gig in some other countries as well!

Homeplanetearth play a tour to promote the launch of their self-titled EP in September (more details on the release to come from the band). They're playing Oxford, Bristol, London and Norwich with more dates to be announced, tickets for all the shows available through us here.
