PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Hardwicke Circus is set to release an extraordinary debut album – full of melody, beautifully crafted songs and clever lyrics. “Let’s Make New Mistakes” is a joyous slice of alternative pop with an outro that will stick with you long after the song has finished – uplifting and overlaid with the insightful, biting vocals of Jonny Foster.
Hardwicke Circus new single “Let’s Make New Mistakes”:
| Hardwicke Circus aren’t your average guitar band – a six-piece collective from the wilds of Carlisle, a band who value the song above the single, a group who have a sound soaked with the classic sounds of rock n roll history but still sound completely of the moment, individuals channelling their differences into similarity to become more than themselves. But more of that later… The forthcoming album is a collection of songs about growing up in the in-between. From a town, you only end up in by accident. The band have honed their craft on the road. With over 700 gigs under their belt, including supports to Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Alabama 3, they had 165 shows lined up for 2020 including SXSW. When the touring was cancelled the band ended up writing and recording their debut album in a remote farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales on a hill above the river Swale (a la Withnail And I}. But more of that later… An insight into the mid and influence of the band can be gleaned through the radio show presented by Jonny Foster, which was put together for their Patreon followers HERE. The band live-streamed a full gig in July 2020 which you can see HERE. The band have also confirmed a series of gigs in Carlisle In July. The band will be playing the Church where Jonny and Tom’s parents married, and where they were both baptised, and the band’s sound engineer will marry his fiancée before the gig!
