To coincide with the tour the band are releasing an EP of six stripped-down and reworked versions of Charlatans classics including 'North Country Boy', 'Only One I Know' and 'Smash The System' from their current album. Both sophisticated and refined, the band has found inspiration in folky Byrds-esque harmonies and Johnny Cash style rockabilly. It will be available to download from iTunes and their website (www.thecharlatans.net) from mid-March, with a limited edition 10' vinyl to follow.
