THE TALKS TO RELEASE ALBUM NOVEMBER 24TH

THE TALKS TO RELEASE ALBUM  NOVEMBER 24TH

The last three years have seen The Talks working relentlessly to bring us a smorgasbord of bouncy, big hitting singles with ‘Can Stand The Rain’ featuring Neville Staple and ‘Friday Night’ creating a huge buzz online, replicated by the response of the crowd when the band have performed live. With main stage performances at globally renowned festivals such as ‘This Is Ska’ (DE), ‘Mighty Sounds’ (CZ) and the UK’s ‘Rebellion’, tweets of appraisal and support from new wave big hitters ‘Less Than Jake’, glowing reviews and cover features from Big Cheese and Vive Le Rock Magazines – not to mention appearing in programmes on various UK TV networks – the bands reputation has surged from strength to strength.

2014’s recent singles ‘Don’t Look Behind You’ and ‘Radio’ have paved the way for The Talks’ long highly anticipated new album ‘Commoners, Peers, Drunks and Thieves’, and these cheeky Yorkshire chaps are gaining widespread attention on an international level. The album offers an insight into the versatility of the band’s sound. ‘Light Up’ is an up tempo and anti-love song whereas ‘Ceasefire’ featuring Itch from The King Blues is a hard-edged call to arms, a fast paced and dazzling assault on the senses.

Following another busy summer of festivals across Europe, the band will be taking their new album on the road with an extensive European tour planned for October and November.

Of the album, lead singer Pat Pretorius says “It’s really personal. Our last album ‘Live Now, Pay Later’ felt more like a catalogue of songs, but this time it feels like a real album, a journey. We agonised over this, and we’d like to think it’ll bring our audience closer to us, help get the idea and vibe across more clearly.”
