COLT 45 Announce ‘Snakes & Ladders’ EP

• 27th Jan 2016

Cumbrian punks COLT 45 have announced they will release their new EP ‘Snakes & Ladders’ on 29th April 2016 with a special EP release show at The Brickyard in Carlisle also revealed for the same day.

The band recently released their track ‘I Remember When The Rain Came Down’ as a charity single to raise money for those affected via the Cumbria Flood Appeal.

Drummer Adam Lewis explains of the forthcoming new material:

“Snakes & Ladders is our reaction to the current state of the rock scene. Bar a few exceptions it just doesn’t say anything to us, and we wanted to make a record that had the same appeal as the ones we listened to growing up.

“Bands like The Movielife, Brand New, The Replacements, Alkaline Trio, The Ataris, Hot Water Music – those records made you feel like you belonged to part of something that was bigger than the sum of its parts, that anyone with a guitar or a drum kit could start a band and have a go.

“The whole point of music for us is that it’s inclusive, it brings people together and there’s a shared platform where artists and fans are on the same level. Just do what you like and get out there and show people.”
