Shura has announced details of her much-anticipated debut album, ‘Nothing’s Real’, which will be released on Polydor Records on July 8th. The album is available to pre-order today, with ‘The Space Tapes’ (a psychedelic rework of some of the record’s highlights, laid down straight to tape) among the tracks available instantly. Having surpassed 30 million plays and become one of the most enduring blog successes of recent years, new single ‘Touch’ has also been made Track of the Day at Radio 1 from today. After teaming up with the legendary Talib Kweli on an alternative version, a brand new Four Tet remix of ‘Touch’ is additionally available to stream now. Shura will open for Chvrches around Europe later this month before playing a headline show at KOKO on the 1st June 2016: further headline dates and festival appearances will follow (with the likes of Primavera, End of the Road, Parklife and a main slot at Great Escape already announced). In many ways ‘Nothing's Real’ is the perfect title for Shura's debut album, which mixes the personal and the fantastical to beguiling, immersive effect. It features songs written and painstakingly recorded across two years in her Shepherds Bush bedroom - the site of which is blown up on the album’s striking artwork – but also reaches back further than that: into parents, childhood, past relationships and the possibilities of the future. All threaded together across the album’s often-affecting narrative, the record assimilates everything Shura loves – from early Madonna to Sci-fi, and War on Drugs to gaming – but is also the sound of an artist pushing themselves hard, further into the unknown. A phrase coined after a breakup, ‘Nothing’s Real’ confirms Shura as an important artist for the years ahead. Welcome – as the record was almost called – to her Shuniverse. ‘Nothing’s Real’ on iTunes ‘Nothing’s Real’ in Shura’s Shop http://weareshura.com/ https://www.facebook.com/shuramusic https://twitter.com/weareshura

Red Cat Records is very proud to announce the brand new partnership with the artist Giulia Calì and the incoming release of their second album “Giulia sta bene” on June 2016. Giulia Calì, a Florentine singer-songwriter, was born on 25th February 1993. At 11 years old she started studying and teaching herself guitar and consequently wrote her first songs. In 2012, she started up her YouTube Channel, where she covered songs of the most famous singers; her videos were listened to / watched about 100,000 times in 3 years. In 2013, Giulia debuted with her first self-made album “VOLA”, which is composed of 6 original songs and one acoustic version; this album can be downloaded from iTunes and other digital stores. In 2014, she took part in the Sofar Sounds Florence; there the first songs from her new album were played for the first time. In 2015, she joined the group “Pulse” as singer and co-author of lyrics, until today they have produced an EP. In 2016, she received financing from Regione Toscana thanks to Toscana100band, thus her second album “Giulia sta bene” was released, after signing to the record label, Red Cat. https://www.facebook.com/giuliacaliofficial/ http://www.redcatpromotion.com Essex punk rock band, Giants have filmed an exclusive session with "Live At The Lab". The session features tracks taken from their debut full length "Break The Cycle" "Our debut album "Break The Cycle" has been out for a little over a month now and we couldn't be happier with the reception it has received. We wanted to showcase the songs in a live setting so we filmed this session with the guys at "Live At The Lab" and we're stoked with how it came out. We were able to set up without headphones and just play as we would at a show, no click track, no corrections, no bullshit - it was awesome. We have been touring the record with Landscapes and Capsize across Europe the last few weeks and the shows have been crazy! We've been blown away by it all. We're now back on home soil to finish up the tour. We're going to be playing loads of the new record and will have all colours of the vinyl with us for sale. Be sure to get down and check it out!" Giants have amassed a loyal following in the DIY scene releasing various EP's and now with freshly released debut album 'Break The Cycle' recorded with Neil Kennedy at The Ranch (Landscapes, Creeper, More Than Life, Gnarwolves etc), the album showcases a band boldly emerging from their younger years with a solid sense of direction and purpose, coupled with a socio-political message. Giants are currently on the road with Landscapes with the UK leg starting yesterday .17th May- Fuel Club, Cardiff 18th May- Rainbow, Birmingham 19th May- Star & Garter, Manchester 20th May- Boston Music Rooms, London 21st May- Holy Roar 10th Anniversary, The Dome - London Rolo Tomassi, Departures, Hang The Bastard and more https://www.facebook.com/giantsuk/?fref=ts ‘Sentience’ sees the band exploring a darker, heavier sound than before without losing any of their signature trademarks. With the commanding presence of Skarlett at the helm, her powerful and incredibly versatile voice defines Skarlett Riot’s sound and ensures they remain a cut above the rest. Musically the band are exploring a heavier avenue than before; taut guitar lines bolstered by clattering drums but all the while remembering the hooks and melodies that seen this band grow into one of the UK’s finest young bands. The new single Voices - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOQxmAo47gU - As seen on Scuzz TV! Man Is Not A Bird, an innovative Paris-based quartet, are preparing to make landfall in the U.S. with their first international release, "Life & Levity". The four track collection includes EP title track which Nothing But Hope & Passon claims, "post-rock lovers can expect epic and distinctive sounds that team up with hypnotic shoegaze elements." Expect five minutes of cinematic beauty that doesn’t need to hide from the genre’s big players like Explosions In The Sky. The much-anticipated EP will officially be available via Splendid (in partnership with Believe Digital) on June 3, 2016. Preorder is available now. Listen to title track HERE Last summer, the fearless rockers undertook a 10-show tour of the United Kingdom, culminating with a triumphant performance in London that impressed a variety of industry insiders drawn to the band’s obvious international potential. From there, the band went straight back into the studio to write and record the tracks that have become "Life & Levity". Previously instrumental, these new songs now find the band exploring complex vocal arrangements, while retaining their distinctive post-punk sound. The band continues to tour internationally, recently road-testing "Life & Levity" with two trips around Germany and eastern Europe, as well as a 5 day run in Spain just last week. Last year also saw the release of Man Is Not a Bird’s critically acclaimed debut mini-album, "Survived The Great Flood". The album was prominently featured on MTV Pulse Europe and French channel D17, and has over 500,000 streams on Spotify France. After a sold-out Parisian launch party for the album, the band was asked by British Rock Band, Ride, to open for them on certain dates during the European leg of their mega-reunion World Tour. The tour concluded with Man Is Not A Bird's first visit to the mythical Paris Olympia Music hall, playing in front of a capacity audience. Look out for remixes from French Touch supremo, Alex Gopher, Italian chaos monger SBCR from the Bloody Beetroots, Toog & Roman Kouder. |
