After the remarkably successful release of their debut EP, 'Out Of Dreams', The Rascals are back with another single and a tour of the UK to continue their road to triumph.
'Suspicious Wit' produced by Ben Hillier(Blur, The Horrors, Doves) will be released through Deltasonic Records on the 18th February and will be available on 10", CD and download.
The Rascals are Miles Kane (guitar), Joe Edwards (bass) and Greg Mighall (drums). Hailing from Merseyside, these three 21 year olds spent the last 3 years learning their craft as part of The Little Flames, touring with bands like The Coral, The Zutons and of course,the Arctic Monkeys. It was during their time supporting Arctic Monkeys, inspired by their maverick DIY spirit and refusal to compromise, the three youngest Flames decided it was time to trust their hearts and their instincts and go it alone. In September, 2006 they began jamming and writing new material as a three piece and there was born The Rascals.
The Wirral three-piece ended 2007 on a high after touring the UK with the EP to a rapturous response. Gaining support from key players in national radio and press, The Rascals are set to be the band of 2008 and well deservedly. Their eagerly awaited debut album is slated for release in June.
