Five shows in one day for Palm Reader

HARDCORE outfit Palm Reader are attempting a pretty special feat - five shows in one day.

They're taking on the challenge to mark the launch of their second album, Beside The Ones We Love.

The band will kick off on Monday, May 4th, by playing at The Old Blue Last in Shoreditch, London, at 12.30pm before playing The Black Heart, in Camden, at 2.30pm.

Next up is The Windmill, in Brixton, at 4.30pm, then the Cricketers in Kingston at 8pm before finishing off at The Star in Guildford at 10pm.

A full line-up of bands will feature at each venue.

Frontman Josh McKeown told RealSoundsOK: "Everything about this band revolves around us pushing ourselves and this insane day will encapsulate our approach.

"It is by far the most ambitious challenge we've ever set ourselves and is undoubtedly one of the hardest things we'll ever try to pull off as a band. That said, it's going to be so much fun, so get your Oyster cards topped up and we'll see you there."

Second album from Palm Reader

HARDCORE boys Palm Reader will release their second album Beside The Ones We Love on April 6th on In At The Deep End Records.

It follows their acclaimed debut Bad Weather that took the Woking band on tours across the UK and Europe.

Vocalist Josh McKeown told RealSoundsOK: "Beside The Ones We Love feels like a very natural progression. We wanted to try and focus on exploring what was instinctive. We pushed ourselves, but we didn't force anything.

"We hid away in a lock-up for a couple of weeks and crafted the majority of the album there and then.

"Lyrically there is no overall theme. It's a thought process where subjects we think about are spilled out and offered up. 

"The aim for me has always been to put forward a topic of conversation in the hope that people will start talking to each other more and their opinions will be exchanged, heard and appreciated.

"It feels like that doesn't happen enough. So many of life's problems can be solved through conversation."

Palm Reader are also heading out on the road in May with dates in Manchester, York, Glasgow, Newcastle and Nottingham. For more info visit facebook.com/wearepalmreader

NOISY boys Palm Reader have joined up with In At The Deep End Records and announced their album Beside The Ones We Love will be released on April 6th.

To celebrate, the Woking band have offered us new track By The Ground, We're Defined.

Palm Reader told RealSoundsOK: "We're more delighted than you could ever imagine to confirm the release of Beside The Ones We Love. We've been working solidly on this record for the last 18 months of our lives. It's unquestionably the most solid body of work we've recorded.  

"Signing to In At The Deep End Records is huge for us. A label that has launched the careers of band's such as Gallows, November Coming Fire and Architects is a dream home for us to launch ourselves from."
