Scouting for Girls

FESTIVAL DATES 2019. Feels a little bit like summer already. ☀️🙌🍺🎪Any requests? What do you want to hear???? Rehearsals start next week....

Hello from Santa Monica Beach, L.A. :) ☀️👌🏃🏻‍♂️ This is my second week in the US and I’ve been having a blast writing the last batch of songs for our new album. I’m so excited for you all to hear it. When my manager listened to the first single he text me straight away to say it was his favourite Scouting song we’d ever done!! So it’s been really nice to not rush it and spend the time trying to better the first collection of tunes that we’ve already finished. It’s everything you would expect from us. Equally parts fun, happy, life affirming, nostalgic, bittersweet, silly, melancholic indie pop. It’s not been all work and no play. I’ve also managed to visit the living desert in Palm Springs, which was amazing and a bit like like being on Safari in Africa. And I’ve gone wine tasting in Napa. Turns out I’m VERY good at wine tasting…. Who would have guessed? I’m spending the rest of this week to demo up the new tunes before returning to good old Blighty to record it properly in time for a (hopefully) Autumn release and winter tour. I also need to get back to start rehearsing with the boys. Unbelievably festival season starts in less than a month!!!! A month!!! We are going up and down the country playing with a revamped setlist - old songs, new ones, one we haven’t played for ages…. So I hope to see you in a field the coming summer. I’ve run out of space so I’ll release full dates tomorrow :) Roy

Gave blood today for the first time since I was at university @givebloodnhs Took less than an hour, didn’t hurt a bit AND I got a mint chocolate club biscuit afterwards #winning Feels weirdly amazing to know I may help save someone life in the future (with so little effort on my part!)

Lyrics - Album V - Coming soon

Tears for Fears were the first band I ever loved. They were one of my Dads favourites and we spent many a road trip listening to Songs from the Big Chair on cassette singing Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Their next album Sowing the Seeds of Love was the the first record I ever bought (on vinyl, from Woolworths, of course) I listened to it so much that somehow I still know every word to every song. Which is even more impressive considering I can’t remember the words to most of my own songs. Last night, thirty years on from first discovering them I got to see Tears for Fears live and singalong to Everybody Wants to Rule with World with my Dad. It was immense. I even forgive them for copying our artwork last year. 😂😂😂 ❤️ to the wonderful @alisonmoyetofficial who was as awesome as always. Icon and class act. @ Brighton Centre
