News on Sound City’s ongoing efforts to support the Love Music Hate Racism campaign this week as All We Are release a new track, Getintothis’ Lewis Ridley has the latest.
All We Are have released a brand new track this week, Not Your Man.
The track was spun by Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6 Music yesterday and marks the latest release from their upcoming third album.
They dropped L Is For Lose last year, which was their first new music since 2017.
They are Guro Gikling from Norway (vocals, bass), Luis Santos from Brazil (guitars) and Richard O’Flynn from Ireland (drums/vocals), who recently featured on Getintothis LIVE.
They have released two albums previously: their self-titled debut in 2015, the year they were crowned GIT Award winners; and 2017’s Sunny Hills.
Music industry organisation Keychange will be taking over Sound City‘s streaming platform, Guest House tonight (Thursday 18 June).
Keychange is an international campaign which invests in emerging talent whilst encouraging music organisations to sign up to a gender balance pledge.
The evening will see appearances from Joanna Duda, Kety Fusco, The Rodeo and Miss Tati.
This forms part of Sound City‘s ongoing efforts to support the Love Music Hate Racism campaign in speaking out against racism and bigotry of all forms.
