Stagecoach

STAGECOACH ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE AND RECORD SHOP TOUR

Stagecoach return with the first single from their long awaited debut album produced by Rory Attwell (Palma Violets, The Vaccines, Veronica Falls) Work Work Work is a feel good slice of nostalgia filled college rock that transports you back to a time when The Lemonheads and Fountains of Wayne scored top ten’s with ease. This first taste of the May album release showcases a more mature sound that has seen the likes of Huw Stephens, NME and The Fly pledging their allegiances.

The single will be released as a limited edition A3 art print via Alcopop! Records on March 25th and features an exclusive b-side recorded at The Lightship during the summer’s album sessions. In support of the release the band will be playing a unique tour of some of their favorite UK independent record stores.

Doctrines
‘ANX LP’ out on May 13th with Alcopop!
Free taster track Daydream for free download now

All fresh as fuck and brandishing the ‘sort of shout along indie-infused pop’ that the Japandroids would probably dig (we don’t know, we’ve not asked them) Doctrines are Alcopop! Record’s very punkest kids… Here with a free to download single, ‘Daydream’ taking from the forthcoming album. 

Hailing from Manchester, the dynamic 4 piece (Jamie, Robert, Luke and Kyle) have been together just over a year and a half, releasing a debut EP last Summer on a mad sci-fi kick inspired by Raymond Kurzeil to much acclaim, Rocksound suggested “You wouldn’t want to bet against them making some serious waves”. Their debut album, released on Alcopop! on purple vinyl so “it looks like Prince” 

Despite sounding something like an unholy union between At the Drive in and Titus Andronicus with the kind of guttural vocals that would take tiles off rooves, they’ve shed the concept storylines and concentrated on making a fucking great pop record. Well, as pop as these guys get… Jamie takes up the story about the new album

“This time we really just wanted to make a good album.  With ZE it was easy to be distracted by the sci-fi escapism and grand arrangements. ANX sheds a lot of extraneous fluff (there’s still some. couldn't let go that easily) and just wears its heart on its sleeve. It's about feeling disappointed, powerless, alienated and anxious while still hoping to make sense of an absurd situation. Where ZE looked to the future for answers, ANX is firmly rooted in the here and now.”

Doctrines will be playing the following shows, and are currently booking a tour of the UK for late June/July

Friday 10th - Travelling Man Comic Store - ANX Release Show - Manchester
Saturday 11th - The Fox And Newt - Leeds
Sunday 12th – Venue TBC (Sheffield)
Monday 13th – Venue TBC (Nottingham)
Wednesday 15th - Urban Bar Whitechapel - London
Thursday 16th - Bullingdon w/ Fight Like Apes - Oxford
Friday 17th - Pav Tav – The Great Escape, Brighton


“With songs as impressive as the catchily named ‘Climbing Yggdrasil (Everybody Loves Ray Kay)’ already under their belts, you wouldn’t want to bet against them making some real waves.” – Rock Sound

“A glorious, sunshine-filled romp, albeit a batshit mental one.” – Absolute Punk

“They've carved out a nice little niche for themselves, and might well strike on something spectacular.” – The 405

“This band are aspiring to be the most out there, diverse band to shine through the music industry to date” – Dead Press
