The School: On tour with a preview of their upcoming debut album

This Saturday 6th of March, THE SCHOOL begins a very special tour around the UK. The Welsh band will perform on twelve different dates, on which they will give a preview of their long awaited debut album to all their fans. “Loveless Unbeliever” will be released in Spain, Korea, Mexico, Canada and the USA in April, and in May it will come out in the UK and all other countries.

This tour will be an initial taste of the songs on the new album and of the group’s new line-up. In addition to the chance to enjoy the band’s new songs at the concerts on the tour, fans will also get an exclusive opportunity to purchase “Loveless Unbeliever” before its official release. These events will also feature special guests, including ALLO DARLIN (her new single “The polaroid song” released on Fortuna Pop is amazing!!) and PAGAN WANDERER LU (who who has released album "Fight my battles for me" on Brainlove Records and is now working on the follow up).

There will be twelve special concerts that will prepare our boys and girls for their world tour, which will begin after summer and will take them across half the globe, with performances in Spain, Germany, UK, Italy, Mexico and the USA, among other countries. We will soon inform you of the exact dates.

......

For years, all the fans of the best pop waited anxiously for that group that was going to occupy the space left between THE PIPETTES and BELLE & SEBASTIAN, heirs of the best pop from the sixties (THE SHIRELLES, THE RONETTES, THE SUPREMES...) and the best Scottish pop (CAMERA OBSCURA, BMX BANDITS...). But it’s finally here, “Loveless Unbeliever”, the debut album of THE SCHOOL. And the Cardiff band, after the singles “Let It Slip” and “All I Wanna Do”, with which they conquered the critics and the public half the world over, in addition to creating uncommonly high expectations, have shown us that they’re the perfect spearhead of a sound that, even today, continues to thrill us. Once again with the production of Ian Catt (SAINT ETIENNE, TREMBLING BLUE STARS, THE FIELD MICE, SHAMPOO, THE BOO RADLEYS…), they demonstrate their incredible ability with melodies and arrangements, releasing an album with more gems than a jewelry store, like “Valentine”, “Is He Really Coming Home”, “I Want You Back” and “Hoping and Praying”, songs that are uncontestable candidates to remain perennially in our stereos.
