After self-releasing two very limited edition singles last year, and following the release of their 'Won't Get Up Again' EP through the band's own label in May, Young Rebel Set are putting the finishing touches on their debut album, which they are delighted to announce will be released early in 2011.
In advance of the album, the band release brand new single 'Measure Of A Man' as a digital download on November 14th. Mixed by Dan Austin – who's mixed most of the album and worked on the last Doves record, Massive Attack and Cherry Ghost amongst others – 'Measure Of A Man' is possibly Young Rebel Set's rootsiest moment and conjures the outlaw spirit of Cash as rolling drums build to roof-lifting chorus.
The single is backed by two new songs, 'The Reckoning' and 'Love Me Once, Love Me Again'
The seven-piece has also announced a full UK headline tour throughout October. Over the last 12 months, the band has steadily built a loyal fan base the length and breadth of the country, and has become an exceptionally tight, tour de force live.
