Trixie Whitley Releases New Album + Tour

Update

From Trixie Whitley's Facebook page…

Dearest friends & fans who purchased tickets for the upcoming NA shows, it is with much regret that I have to share I was diagnosed with a medical condition this past Friday which demanded me to postpone the upcoming North American tour dates. I am saddened for not being able to hit the road right away but rest assured I will make it up with double the strength as soon as I've been able to heal and take the necessary rest. The dates will be re-scheduled and I look forward to presenting the new music for you as soon as that time comes around. Thank you so much for all the support so far. With much love,

Trixie

Refunds available at point of purchase.

The Heavy To Release New Album + Video

UK band The Heavy are set to release their latest album, Hurt & The Merciless on April 1.  The album is available for pre-order, HERE, in a variety of formats including a Limited Edition Deluxe Boxset.  They've released a video for the single "Since You've Been Gone". The clip was directed by Focus Creeps and features Abigail Hardingham and Thomas Turgoose.  Check it out below.

The Heavy are also hitting the road. New York, the March show at National Sawdust is already sold out so if you missed out you'll have to wait for them to come 'round again, sooner rather than later we hope.
