Attack! Attack! Sign To Hassle Records And Prepare To Release New Album

• 4th Aug 2010

Attack! Attack! can now announce details of a new home and a new album. The Welshmen, who recently released the single ‘Not Afraid’, have confirmed that they have now signed to Hassle records – home to Alkaline Trio, Cancer Bats, We Are The Ocean.

The release of their huge, Romesh Dodangoda (Kids In Glass Houses, The Blackout) produced, second album will be called ‘The Latest Fashion’ and is set for release on 27th September.

‘The Latest Fashion’ is an 11-track record packed full of soaring choruses which is all killer from start to finish. The band has already won the hearts of commercial radio with the likes of Fearne Cotton, Jo Whiley and Zane Lowe championing the band on the airwaves. The albums dynamism is a huge accolade to their song writing and has moments of un-controllable sing-a-longs sat next to muscular guitar riffs with the finishing touch of frontman, Neil Starr’s, faultless vocals.

Bassist, Will Davies, exclaimed about the signing and the new record, “We are all so happy and excited to be signing to a label that we have a lot of respect for! It's amazing that we're sharing the same label as Alkaline Trio and The Get up Kids. We're really looking forward to the future with Hassle, roll on the new album!

This album is the beginning of the end of pop punk comparisons! We set out to make a powerful rock record that shows us for who the band that we are and to bring across an aspect of our live energy. It's reignited the desire in us to get our music across to as many people possible in the world and to blow them away, and we're stoked we have a label like Hassle on board!”

‘The Latest Fashion’ is the record we’ve been waiting to hear from Attack! Attack! and it’s delivered with such precise execution it’s difficult to see any other UK band deliver such a hook-laden gem this year!
