With many of the shows already sold out on the run, the boys have now unveiled a series of additional stops, with a total of 22 gigs so far. 

The new dates are for Aberdeen, Cambridge, Bridlington and Dublin, while the Manchester gig originally slated for November 19 will now take place on November 15. 

Order a copy of ‘Power To Play’ from the band’s webstore by 4pm BST on Tuesday, June 13 to gain access to a pre-sale the following morning at 9am. 

‘Power To Play‘ sees the band return to the guitar-heavy sound of early hits like Obviously, All About You and their debut, 5 Colours In Her Hair, with the group telling RETROPOP’s July 2023 issue that the project is their most authentic to date.

“On the last album, I think we were just excited to be back together in the band and recording again. We didn’t really have a clear vision of what the album was going to sound like,” says Tom. “This time, we knew we wanted the album to feel like a family of songs that belong together, but it just took us a while to figure out what that was.”

During the sessions, they made a moodboard for the project that brought together their individual visions for the direction of the LP and drew on the songs they most enjoy performing live. “We all wrote 5 Colours In Her Hair and Obviously – the really fun, uptempo ones,” adds Dougie. 

“It was pretty much like going back to why we all got into playing our instruments in the first place,” continues Harry. “What’s exciting about being in a band, rehearsing, touring, and trying to recreate that on an album for the first time. That vision became very clear and exciting.”

On those early inspirations, Tom says: “We all got excited by bands when we were kids. Especially guitar music – it’s always been so exciting and aspirational and we’ve never really fully embraced that. Even though we’ve always played, we’ve never really fully embraced that as an idea and a concept until right now. So it became, ‘Let’s try and write an album that is gonna make kids want to play air guitar around their bedrooms!’.”
