Pigeon Detectives release new single

'Say It Like You Mean It' is the new single from Rothwell boys The Pigeon Detectives, released on 20th October on Dance To the Radio.

The release will precede the band's forthcoming UK headline tour which sees them up and down the country in November and December, including their biggest ever London date at Alexandra Palace. The single is taken from the gold album 'Emergency' released earlier this year and features two unlikely cover version across the formats as well as live and demo versions of the song. Huey Lewis and the News' 1985 (ahem) classic 'The Power of Love' gets the Pigeon's treatment. Also featured will be Hot Chip's 'Ready For The Floor' which the band played on the Radio One Live Lounge earlier this year (and which will feature on the forthcoming Radio1 Live Lounge vol. III compilation released by Sony BMG this Autumn).

After a huge UK tour in the spring, followed by lots of festival appearances over the summer the band took a well deserved break (of about 10 days!). They went to the US early September, starting on the East Coast (filming the video for 'Say It Like You Mean It' in NY), travelled to Toronto for a festival alongside Oasis and the Foo Fighters (squeezing in a date with The Kooks), and then go back to the US (West Coast) this week. The band return to headline The White Air Festival on the Isle of Wight on the 20th September, go to Japan for two dates then return to Europe to play for a couple of weeks before the UK shows. They'll have plenty air miles to use over Christmas.
