The single is taken from the band's upcoming album, ‘Chased By Wolves,’ which will arrive on Friday 6th September via Wixen Music Publishing.

The band have a distinct, immersive sound with crunchy guitars, sweeping melodies and sparkling synths all combining to create unique, infectious songs. They have toured extensively in recent years and appeared at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Bestival and The Great Escape. Through this they've gained a reputation as explosive live performers - and caught the ear of producer extraordinaire Chris Porter (George Michael, Elton John, David Bowie) during one such performance at The Castle in Manchester in 2017. This led to an invitation from Porter for the group to record their second album at The Visconti Studio in Kingston Upon Thames.

The band is built around the axis of frontman Ollie Baines and his wife Miriam, while her sister Dolly also appears with the group on violin. The trio grew up together in a hippie commune in Hampshire. Bassist Tom Clay, guitarist Thomas Pink, keyboardist Jonny Barker and drummer Neil Blandford were childhood friends who lived nearby. The group release their first album, 'Friends As Enemies' in 2016.

Press quotes for Flight Brigade:

"A direct, driving sound, one that bears comparison to Arcade Fire but also has the crunch of Twin Atlantic.”– Clash Music Mag

"Smack-bang into that global radio-friendly crossover territory usually inhabited by Imagine Dragons and The Killers." – Record of the Day

"On a warpath to making history… a bit of Muse, compared to My Morning Jacket, but ultimately what we hear is a dark, orchestral, and narrative-driven tour de force." – New Sick Music

The band will take to the road to celebrate the launch of the single, with UK dates beginning on March 21st. Here's the full list of shows:
