** BOO! REMINDER **
On Saturday 7th February, Boo Radleys return to Esquires and they have a new album coming out...

From influential shoegaze pioneers to conquering the charts during Britpop and enjoying a triumphant reunion era , The Boo Radleys have enjoyed an unconventional journey in which restless sonic experimentation has always been a hallmark. Now the trio - original members Simon ‘Sice’ Rowbottom (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Tim Brown (bass, guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Rob Cieka (drums, vocals) - prove that decades-long inspiration is as strong as ever as they announce that their new album ‘In Spite of Everything’ will be released on May 1st.

‘In Spite of Everything’ is a record that was crafted following the tragic loss of Tim’s eldest son. The album’s new single, ‘Living Is Easy’, hones in on that all-encompassing grief and the sense of helplessness that comes with it.

As Tim explains, “At 2 a.m., sitting up and contemplating our loss during my child’s wake, I found myself reflecting on all the major news events that had left their mark on me through the years and the helplessness I sometimes felt to change anything. Writing the last verse was the most difficult and personal thing I’ve done. My child’s journey and loss have changed me profoundly, but they also remind me, even in these darkest moments, of all I have to be grateful for. Through this song, I hope to honour their memory and the light they brought into our lives.”
