The Charlatans prepare to release their new single 'Your Pure Soul'

The Charlatans prepare to release their new single ‘Your Pure Soul’.  Following the success of the release of their eleventh album and a sold-out UK tour, The Charlatans prepare to release their new single ‘Your Pure Soul’. The track will be released on November 29th 2011 on Frink Recordings through Cooking Vinyl. Despite proving to be a tough year for the band – drummer Jon Brookes collapsed on stage during a gig on tour in the US and was subsequently diagnosed with a brain tumour – The Charlatans have again found the strength to carry on and keep doing what they do best, making and playing music. ‘Your Pure Soul’ is taken from their Youth produced eleventh studio album ‘Who We Touch’, released in September this year. During the summer festivals and the band’s own UK dates the track proved to be a live favourite. The Charlatansare currently on tour in Australia and the Far East with The Verve’s Pete Salisbury as temporary replacement for Jon whilst he undergoes treatment. More UK dates are currently being planned, details to be announced soon.

Get Ready for The Truths!

Get Ready for The Truths! The 29th of September will see the British alternative rock band The Truths releasing the debut album Above All… internationally on Aardvark Records. With an initial promotional music video for the song Everybody’s Crying Inside racking up thousands of views online and the single Miracle Drug’s addition to an ever increasing number of radio playlists – The Truths look set to put British rock music at its most visceral and emotional, back on the map . The band teamed up with the legendary producer Hugh Jones, whose credits include The Charlatans, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Bluetones and Gene. They also worked with respected producer/engineer Dare Mason, who has worked with the likes of Prince, Placebo, Tommy Tokyo and System 7. The album itself shows both the band’s chemistry as players and their ability to craft memorable and meaningful music. Also with front man Anthony Neale’s powerful vocal delivery and charismatic stage presence, the music will take you on an unforgettable emotional rollercoaster. The later is important since the songs were written by Anthony but developed by the band as a whole during live performance and touring – stretching and and re-configuring them into what has been described as ‘a sexy, aggressive wall of sound’. The album’s twelve tracks pretty much cover it all, dealing with life, love, relationships, rebellion and fighting for what you believe in. The songs range from arena sized anthems (Miracle Drug, Triptych, Against Perfection, Jumpcut and Hit The Streets) tempered by the intimate, almost ballad-like songs (Everybody’s Crying Inside, Moth to a Flame, Fear is the Key and Strangers).
