Mamas Gun Share New Single
- Written by Marky Edison
Mamas Gun are sharing their new single, ‘On The Wire’ the latest to be taken from their forthcoming album, Golden Days, which is due out via Candelion on May 18. This new cut follows in the wake of the Lauren Laverne-supported ‘London Girls’ and other tastemaker-approved singles including ‘You Make My Life A Better Place’, ‘Strangers On A Street’ and ‘I Need A Win’. The new album will be supported with a four-date UK run throughout June, taking in a headline slot at London’s Omeara on June 29.
Speaking about the new single, frontman and founder of the band, Andy Platts says: “The lyrics to ‘On The Wire’ were written in the haze of media misinformation and heated debate in the weeks leading up to the so called ‘Brexit’ vote. It was a rally cry for people to think carefully, to make their decision rationally and not on the throw of some emotionally loaded dice fuelled by a misguided sense of patriotism”.
Alongside the likes of Charles Bradley, Curtis Harding and the Dap Kings, Mamas Gun have helped fuel the vanguard of 21st century soul, as well as spawning Top 10 hits on four continents. In addition to securing support slots with the likes of Beverley Knight and Raphael Saadiq, Mamas Gun have performed at global and domestic music festivals including WOMAD, Secret Garden Party, Wilderness and Greenroom with an intimate sell out return in London earlier this year.
