After blasting through stereos worldwide last night as Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, one of the UK’s most exciting bands, The Snuts, make a rapturous return with new single ‘Gloria’. It’s their first release on the band’s newly set up label Happy Artist Records – via The Orchard – as they make a break away from their previous label home.
Mixed by Spike Stent (Harry Styles, Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Muse, Oasis) and produced by singer Jack Cochrane and longtime collaborator Scotty Anderson, the track is an anthemic, summer song for the masses, which finds the beautiful in the everyday. ‘Gloria’ arrives ahead of the band’s performance at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Dundee on Saturday 27th May.
“This song is all about finding the beauty and romance in the most normal of things.” explains frontman Jack Cochrane. “As a band, our lives have never really transformed out of the boundaries of normal everyday existence, and we truly value the thoughts and feelings of the average person and how our lives look. We’ve never been more excited to present a song by The Snuts that captures such a raw and genuine intention, whilst making you want to get up and dance with your loved ones.”
The Snuts are well and truly into their stride. With chart-topping and top 3 albums under their belts, songs that attack subjects affecting the youth of today, and an arsenal of adoring fans up and down the country, these four lads from Whitburn, West Lothian, are well on their way to being one of the most vital bands of recent years.
Set to play their biggest headline shows to date at SWG3 in Glasgow in July, The Snuts kick off the summer at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and will play the main stage at Reading & Leeds Festivals in August, as well as making two trips across the pond to tour the US & Australia.
‘Gloria’ signifies the start of an exciting new chapter in the Scots’ career.
