LULS release flipside to single

HOTLY-tipped London trio LULS have unveiled a new single flipside to their track Never Let It Go.

Sympathy Or Love is  a spirited ballad showcasing a softer aspect of the band's sound while retaining their signature knack for a soaring, anthemic chorus and enveloping wall of dynamics. 

LULS introduced themselves at the end of last year with the art-rock anthemics of debut single ‘Swing Low/Young’.

 
Following an end of year that saw them tour support Crystal Castles on their UK tour, play a sold out New Year's eve show at Koko alongside Peace and win the endorsement of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Mary-Anne Hobbs and John Kennedy among others on radio, LULS now enter 2013 full steam ahead with a new double A side single. 

The band has also announced a UK tour, including a number of dates supporting Theme Park. The full tour is
