The Brew Sign to Napalm Records; New Music in 2018; Tour Dates Announced
UK heavy rock veterans The Brew have signed to Napalm Records for the 2018 release of their sixth full-length album. They’ll be on tour in Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Switzerland in November and will follow-up with a run early next year in the UK. I don’t know if the latter run is meant to coincide with their next record coming out or not, but either way, cool to have such things planned out in advance. I’ll admit this announcement is my first exposure to the band, who’ve got some high profile touring to their credit in addition to the records, but they acquit themselves well in the video for “Shake the Tree,” the title-track of their 2016 long-player, which you can see below in all its uptempo/about-to-be-stuck-in-your-head delivery precision.
Even going just from that as I am, there’s little question as to why Napalm would pick them up. Pretty clearly a pro shop.
The PR wire made it official:
THE BREW – Sign With Napalm Records Worldwide!
Hailing from the North Eastern fishing town of Grimsby, UK, THE BREW have gained a reputation as being one of the most exciting live rock acts in Europe today. To date they have released five chart topping albums to their credit, in their unchanged, original lineup, featuring, Tim Smith on bass, Kurtis Smith on drums and Jason Barwick on guitar and vocals.
The breakthrough for the band came in 2009 when they appeared on the world famous RockPalast TV show, and following the successful album releases of “A Million Dead Stars” and “The Third Floor”, they again returned the RockPalast show in 2012.
THE BREW have toured with the likes of ZZ Top, Lynryd Skynyrd, and shared the stage with Ozzy Osbourne, Jeff Beck, to name but a few.
Their current critically acclaimed album releases of “Control” (2014) and “Shake the Tree” (2016) have seen the band cement their status as one of the leading rock acts in Europe today.
THE BREW states about their new collaboration: “It’s with great pleasure we can now announce, The Brew have signed with Napalm records. Sharing our vision with the talented and dedicated Napalm team, we couldn’t be more excited. 2018 will see the release of new music from the band, for all our awesome fans!!!!”
