EUROPEAN HEADLINE DATES IN MARCH

The Strumbellas have announced their fourth album, Rattlesnake, out March 29 th via Glassnote Records. Last week the band released the video for ' Salvation', the first single to be taken from the album.

Rattlesnake marks a stylistic turn from their melancholy, introspective releases, to an uplifting album with songs that focus more on optimism. Produced by Tim Pagnotta (Elle King, Walk the Moon), co-produced and engineered by Brian Phillips, the album was recorded on the band's home turf, at the legendary Bathouse Recording Studio outside of Kingston, Ontario, and at Revolution Recording in Toronto.

The nine-track body of work is the sunny side of the street follow-up to The Strumbellas' Billboard-charting third album, Hope, which featured the hit single 'Spirits'.

"Well, after the last tour, Izzy had a baby, I got an English Bulldog, Darryl travelled to Bali, Jon built a cottage, Jer drove all the way across Canada in his 85' Camper Van, Dave grew a mustache and we made an album that we are REALLY proud of," commented Simon Ward. "Everyone in the band is SO excited to get back on the road to show everyone some new music."

The release of Rattlesnake will come after a string of European headline shows, including a show at London's Bush Hall on the 25 th, and will be followed by an extensive US headline tour starting on the 1 st May. Full European dates can be found below.

The Strumbellas are Simon Ward (vocals, acoustic guitar), David Ritter (keys), Jeremy Drury (percussion), Isabel Ritchie (strings), Jon Hembrey (guitar) and Darryl James (bass).

In 2017, they won the iHeartRadio Music award for Best New Alternative Rock Artist of the Year, and collected the JUNO Award for Single of the Year in their native Canada ahead of Drake, The Weeknd and Shawn Mendes.

From the onset the band received critical praise from the press, including from The New York Times, who said "The Strumbellas have perfected a story arc that's summed up in the title of their new album 'Hope," and Forbes, who declared "The Strumbellas aren't just taking on the US, they are taking on the world."
