Futures Announce September Tour

• 16th Jun 2010

2010 is rapidly turning into the year of Futures. The release of their debut single “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and debut mini album “The Holiday” were a critically acclaimed success. Leading to their recent headline show at The Borderline in London selling out in just three days, and adding further to the huge interest from record labels to secure their signatures.

Formed in 2009, London four piece Futures debut single “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” shows a band at the height of their powers, stamping their footprint as the next wave in the rock world. When entering the studio to record the band took a fresh approach to the record process, which opened their eyes to a whole new way of writing songs. “We’d stay up all night re-writing and constantly changing parts around. We’d start drum takes at 3 am and finish the day midnight,” explains West. “There’s a lot of Hammond organ on the album which we really want to come across in the live show. This time round the studio really developed us as songwriters, and now we can’t sit still. We haven’t stopped writing since. ” The band create a stunning mix of alternative rock with pop sensibilities.

Futures followed the release of the single with the release of their debut mini album on the 1st March 2010. “The Holiday” mini album consisted of the new tracks – “16”; “Take Me Home”; “Sal Paradise”; “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”; “Holiday”; “The Summer” and “Thank You”. The album was released to widespread critical acclaim and also garnered them a Radio One session at BBC’s Maida vale studios. The band’s full debut album is now written and set for release in early 2011, with the first single out late September on a soon to be announced label.

With only a handful of gigs to date the band have already built up a loyal following, through that most honest of avenues – word of mouth.
