So, yeah, the new single is "BILLBOARD BEAUTY", out 11th November and it's the bands debut release on Independiente (famous for starting by signing Billy Bragg, then going on to do Paul Weller, Travis and So Solid Crew!). To help promote the single they're touring with east-london daaahlings the Beatings and then uk-emo-mister-luvvah-luvvahs Hundred Reasons!
