Backgammon raises the bar with new single Strangers



The fourth single by indie rock band Backgammon from their eponymous debut album which was released last week, shows the band's progress in songwriting. Produced by Martijn Groeneveld (John Coffey, Dotan, Lucky Fonz III), it's a great piece of classic rock that kicks in with the first note and ends with a harmonica solo that would make Neil Young proud.

Backgammon was the 2013 winner of the Dutch Student Band Festival, in 2014 they were elected Best Dutch Newcomer on Dutch national radio and in 2015 they were runner up at the famous Dutch competition ‘de Grote Prijs van Nederland’. For the last year they have toured extensively in The Netherlands, UK and Belgium and were featured on many festivals. Furthermore Backgammon now consists of five bandmembers and that gives them the opportunity to bring the full sound to live performances as well.

Previously released singles Gun In the Yard, Oh Yeah!  and Through The Back Of My Head did very well in the Dutch Indie Chart and were featured in the Spotify New Music Friday playlist NL. Backgammon gave live performances on Dutch national radio, as well as a Sofar Sounds session for Youtube. They got international airplay from Germany and the UK to the United States.

Strangers is released through TCBYML sub-label BERT, dedicated to young musical talent. BERT was launched in 2016 and was created especially for Dutch artists and bands. BERT is exciting, challenging, new, enterprising, a feeling, a friend, full of idealism, adventurous and honest.

Strangers is released this week and available for purchase/streaming on all known digital platforms.
