Our brand new single 'Falling Down' just made it's radio debut on @thisisthemusic.bsky.social! It feels fitting that Mark got to spin it first. He's done a lot for our band, and does so much great work for independent music. You can listen back to his show on mixcloud!

Lovin You is not just a return, it feels like the perfect album for this moment in his career. it’s a reaffirmation that @richardashcroftofficial remains, defiantly and gloriously, one of Britain’s most vital voices.
