Peggy Sue Release New Single Ahead Of UK Tour & Album

• 15th Jan 2014

How’s this for a shimmering retro slice of bluesy rock’n’roll?

This 50’s high school slow-dance special from Peggy Sue comes ahead of the release of their forthcoming album ‘Choir of Echoes’, which is set for release on January 27th through Wichita.

In the words of the band, ‘Longest Day of the Year Blues’ “is a pretty straightforward break up song. One of those break up songs about getting dumped and having to go to work the next day when the next day happens to be the longest day of the year.

I remember thinking to myself cynically ‘Well this sucks… But at least it’s wonderfully poetic.’ It has the word ‘baby’ in it 5 times. I guess I may have been listening to my Greatest Ever Doo Wop Song compilation a little too much last summer.”

The band will be heading to the UK for a headline tour in April which includes a sold out London show at St Pancras Old Church.
