Admiral Fallow are offering their new brand new record ‘Tree Bursts In Snow’ for streaming in full online via This Is Fake DIY.

Staying true to their Scottish roots, the LP was recorded in Glasgow’s Chem 19 with Paul Savage (Mogwai, King Creosote) before being mastered by Greg Calbi (Bon Iver, The National, Battles) over in NYC.

‘Tree Bursts In Snow’ is released 21st May 2012 via Nettwerk Music. Preorder it here.

After their excellent set last October, we are very excited to welcome back The Travelling Band, courtesy of Birmingham Promoters.

Martyn Joseph and Stewart Henderson – Because We Still Can – The combination of the Welsh singer and the Liverpool poet has already produced two tours and subsequent live albums, a mash up of the one’s songs and the other’s verses that,  interspersed with humour and chat,  works far better in reality than it sounds on paper. So, after Because We Can and Because We Can… Again, comes Because We Still Can. With this only the second date, there’s no indication as to which of Joseph’s numbers will be featured, but since, over the course of umpteen album, he’s not released a single song that makes you reach for the skip button, whatever he brings will do just fine. This Thursday, 7.30pm.  Hare & Hounds, Kings Heath
