MPFree 7th July

It's Thursday, four fifths through the working week and we have a single from The Travelling Band, whose sound by our very own Marc Riley has been described as Mancunian Americana.

Hailing from Manchester thier debut album Under The Pavement, released in 2008, was very well recieved and has been an Album Of The Day here at BBC 6 Music.

There second album Screaming Is Something is out now and the new single, out physically on August the 8th, is available to download for free from their website.

Gig wise they are playing Eastleigh Festival on the 9th July, The Tonefest Festival in Poole on the 22nd and will be in London playing The Bedford on the 25th.

They also have an extensive UK date tour coming up in October which you can get more details by following the link below, and obviously where you can download the single!
