The Cast Of Cheers Announce Latest Single + Tour Dates

Following up after singles Animals and Human Elevator, The Cast Of Cheers are releasing another slice of angular, propulsive indie rock and roll, on their new single Trucks at Night which will be out on Dec 3rd via School Boy Error/ Co-operative Music. Listen to the single below via Soundcloud.



Here’s what the label said about the single: Breathless and vicious, combustible and ferocious, Trucks at Night teams serrated guitars with a nasty lyrical bent, as vocalist Conor Adams chants “woke up in the western world as a western child and I can’t find God”. It’s a short, sharp, burst of jagged pop, and a perfect showcase for what makes The Cast of Cheers one of the most vital new bands around.

From the sound of this track, they just might be right. To coincide with the new single, the band continues to tour extensively in the UK and Europe. The upcoming live dates are listed below.
