The Stills hit UK with new album & tour
- Artists:
- The Stills »
Glorious Canadian pop rockers The Stills have announced a handful of UK live dates for November this year.
The tour will coincide with the UK release of the quintet's third LP Oceans Will Rise. In shops on 20 October through Arts & Crafts the statement from The Stills' press people insist the 'new album showcases a reinvigorated band armed with a razor-sharp sense of melody and a wholly rejuvenated sense of itself.' DiS agrees.
Only a couple of months ago the band found themselves opening for Paul McCartney at the Quebec City 400th Anniversary concert in front of quarter of a million people so this mini-tour is sure to bring them back down to Earth.
The dates for The Stills November UK tour are as follows:
November
25th London Cargo
26th Manchester Night & Day
27th Glasgow Stereo
28th London Koko Club NME

Share on FacebookI used to live Logic Will Break Your Heart
but I'm feeling a bit meh about the new album, Oceans Will Rise. Maybe i need to listen to it some more but first impressions aren't great.
*love not live
shit typing day.
i thought this latest record was brilliant
then i listened to it for a week and realised that it wasn't.
nowhere near as good as logic will break your heart. i'll go see them just for those tunes though.
maybe the new stuff sounds less mediocre live. :)
After logic will break your heart...
They got rid of the guitarist that made that album so good. Then the drummer became the singer (he also sings on the last track of LWBYH) and they got a new drummer. What I heard of the second album was bad, unless they've gone back to their original lineup it'll still be lame. That breaks MY heart!!
explains a lot
then fuck 'em.
Hmmm...
I heard the first song on LWBYH and thought, "This brilliant band just made one of the best tracks of 200X. Incredible." Then I heard the rest of the album and realized how average they were. Since the very first song, it's been all downhill from there.
Here's hoping this new album is better.
agreed.
logic... is such a great album, but all the other stuff afterwards was just disappointing.
first gig I ever went to was seeing them and some other bands for free at the hammersmith apollo in summer 2004.
they were so good.
hang on
they had a different singer for the second record?
the singer from logic sings on this latest one though.
They both do...
Thr drummer from the first album has always been the main songwriter. The first guitarist decided to go back to uni so he took over and now he shares singin duties with the singer of the first album . I prefer the original singer and i found the 2nd and 3rd albums pretty boring compared to the first one.
