The Sherlocks celebrated their debut album success with Liam Gallagher at Leeds Festival. To coincide with lead guitarist Josh Davidson's 24th birthday the two sets of brothers charted in the official UK charts at number six with their debut album, Live For The Moment.

The Sheffield four-piece have been relentlessly touring the UK ahead of the release of their debut album and dates have included joining both Kings Of Leon & Richard Ashcroft as main support on their arena tours as well as numerous festival dates. The band have been steadily building a solid live following and were the first unsigned band since Arctic Monkeys to sell out their local venue the Sheffield Leadmill.

The Sherlocks have drawn obvious comparisons from their influencers (The Jam, The Clash, Arctic Monkeys) but this is a band with unquenchable ambition intending to create their own unique sound and already captivating new audiences. The Sherlocks have been earning excellent live reviews up & down the country after selling out multiple venues (including Sheffield’s Foundry & Manchester’s Albert Hall) and their fan base is going from strength to strength with their singles ‘Will You Be There’ & ‘Was It Really Worth It?’ both reaching No.1 in the Vinyl single charts, a new generation discovering the adrenalizing rush of rock’n’roll.

When asked what to expect from this anticipated debut from the young band, The Sherlocks promise; “The time has finally come…what started as a hobby has incredibly turned into a career. But this is all down to our fans for investing their time into our band. The amount of people calling for this album is truly overwhelming and we know this is the right time to share it. We’ve genuinely worked so hard for this and put everything into this album, down to the very last detail. Everything about this album feels incredibly special…4 lads from the middle of nowhere. This is what makes our story so special, that the people have decided to back a real band and we will be forever grateful to them for that. Our lives have completely changed over the last few years, we started this band around 7 years ago as friends jamming a few songs out together in my dad’s garage. Over 1200 gigs later, we’re now here announcing something we will be eternally proud of. We can’t wait for you to hear it in its entirety. This one’s for you.”

Betsy has confirmed plans for new single ‘You Won’t Love Me’, taken from her much-anticipated, self-titled debut album (which will be released on September 29 on Warner Brothers). This follows the success of recent track ‘Little White Lies’, which picked up support across Radio 2, 6Music, Virgin Radio and saw Betsy make her TV debut (with two breakout performances in Germany, plus ITV’s Weekend show and Britain’s Got More Talent in the UK). Betsy’s European headline tour – featuring London’s Scala on November 30 – is on sale now.

‘You Won’t Love Me’, writes Betsy, “is about someone I was madly in love with, and someone who I should not have been for so many reasons. I felt like he loved me because he couldn’t be with me and also because he liked the idea of me being a singer, but I really felt that if we took the relationship any further it would all crumble to dust. You know when it’s the wrong love because it feels so much stronger.”

With her powerhouse vocal range, direct ear for hooks, no-nonsense attitude and unerring ability to locate the sharpest grid references of heartache in music, Betsy is a once-seen, never-forgotten pop proposition. Crossing elements of soul, euphoric dance and (in the case of ‘You Won’t Love Me’) soaring, gospel-soaked power ballads, her self-titled debut album is shot through with unflinching lyrical honesty, and draws from an unlikely musical background.
