The Sunshine Underground + Cosmo Jarvis + MAY68
"Huge choruses, boisterous bass lines and repetitive beats: it's a heady concoction that has turned SU gigs into chaotic scenes of communal celebration; the band whipping the mad mishmash of folk who form their hardcore following into a frenzy. More uptight musicians have manifestos, SU just want to make people walk 10-feet tall, electrify them with sound. They talk, unashamedly, of being an uplifting band, sometimes literally. "I've got a picture of someone from the audience at Nastyfest," swears Craig, "walking on the ceiling." They are not interested in playing ordinary venues at ordinary times, preferring late-night shows at impromptu basement raves or weird seafront venues in Scarborough. "Everyone's welcome as long as you're up for it," encourages Stuart. "Get involved, get sweaty. Those are the rules."The Sunshine Underground have announced details of the release of their second album in early 2010. The band will also be touring the UK in February and a 5-track EP is released in November 2009.
Nobody's Coming To Save You will be released through City Rockers /EMI in February 2010 and follows their debut album, Raise The Alarm.
The 10-track album was produced by the band and Barny (Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian).
Following a string of festival dates and sold-out tours throughout 2009, where they road-tested new material, the band will be touring the UK around the album release in the new year.
