CATHOLIC ACTION

release their single ‘L.U.V.’

~ Out now via Luv Luv Luv Records on 7” vinyl & download ~ 

7" Pre Order - http://www.roughtrade.com/albums/100760

Catholic Action are a product of Glasgow’s famously fertile music scene but have won fans across the UK thanks to their peerless pop masterpieces. After a run of rapturously received gigs in their hometown the group are ready to release their long-awaited debut release for Luv Luv Luv Records (Spector, Only Real, Splashh, The Garden)

The four-piece band are centered around the singular talents of vocalist and guitarist Chris McCrory – already known among key taste-makers as the drummer in Casual Sex, another of Glasgow’s leading musical lights. 

McCrory, still only 24, became a full-time producer and recording engineer straight from school after establishing his own studio. While helping many of the artists in Glasgow’s burgeoning DIY scene, McCrory is also an exceptional songwriter in his own right and his group quickly became the most talked about in town.  

Catholic Action were formed in 2014 by McCrory alongside Jamie Dubber on bass and Ryan Clark on drums. Andrew Macpherson later joined as lead guitarist to add extra sparkle to the group's own brand of glam noise rock.

The group were personally invited by Alex Kapranos to support FFS at their sold-out show at the famous Barrowland Ballroom last August. Just days later, Carl Barat was in touch to ask them to open for The Libertines when they played Glasgow’s Academy the following month - an invitation to open on Swim Deep’s UK tour in October 2015 followed. 

L.U.V. was recorded at the Green Door Studio in Glasgow by Sam Smith (Casual Sex, Mother and the Addicts). The single was mixed at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool by Rich Turvey (Blossoms, Clean Cut Kid).

Catholic Action will perform live at: 

Live at Leeds festival 30 April
The Great Escape Festival 19 May
The Great Escape Festival 20 May
Belladrum Festival 5 August
Lodestar Festival 3 September

DRUGS

The Orielles return with new EP, Jobin, released 1st April via ART IS HARD, and live dates.

Once considered Yorkshire’s best kept secret, a hugely successful 2015 well and truly placed Halifax-born trio The Orielles on the map of guitar-wielding stars. Now the troupe are back with anthemic new work, alongside UK dates between March and April alongside festival appearances this Summer.

The Jobin EP is set to be released on 1st April on ltd edition flexizine via ace DIY label Art is Hard it comes wiith; a 7" flexidisc featuring lead track Jobin, a 20 page colouring book zine illustrated by the awesome Alex Gamsu Jenkins and a download code for the full 3 track EP.

Garnering major interest thanks to their lilting harmonies, glistening guitars and punchy basslines, and spending last summer blowing people away with their electrifying sets at festivals including Dot To Dot, Live At Leeds and Liverpool Sound City, the surf-pop trio are ready to hit the road again, bringing their first EP of the year, Jobin, along for the ride.

The band - sisters Esme and Sid Hand-Halford and friend Henry Wade - formed after meeting at a house party, with the sisters only learning how to play their instruments after getting the band together. Keen advocates of DIY methods and following riot grrrl bands and California groups, The Orielles put their own stamp on that lo-fi sound. Receiving strong praise from NME, Steve Lamacq and Amazing Radio’s Shell Zenner, a strong following in Leeds, Manchester and their hometown of Halifax has grown into country-wide interest.

Again references can be made to the likes of The Raveonettes, The Breeders, Pixies and Beach Boys, with this latest release comprising soaring vocals, beautiful, distorted melodies and jangling six strings. Immediately hooking the listener in thanks to the unarguably infectious qualities, it’s the sound of summer arriving a few months early, and all the better for it. It’s also the sound that will be heading out to some of the finest small venues in England, from Birmingham to Sheffield, London to Nottingham, wiith appearances in Toronto for Canadian Music Week, Festevol, Flying Vinyl and Forgotten Fields festivals this Spring and Summer already announced, Definitely ones for the diary then.
