BRIGADE release double A side single on August 4 2008 and announce UK headline tour

'...a towering beast of a rock band!' NME
'Skilfully wedding Foo Fighters melodic nous to sporadic My Bloody Valentine discordance.' Q Magazine
'Second stunning album from a band primed for greatness' Kerrang

Brit-rockers BRIGADE will release a double A side single ('Sink, Sink, Swim' and 'Stunning') on August 4 2008 via Caned & Able Records. Taken from the smash hit album 'Come Morning We Fight', it looks set to cement the band's position as field leaders in a rapidly exploding rock renaissance.

The quartet have also announced they'll be heading out on their own headline tour this summer, kicking off in Colchester on July 22. Joining them on the road will be fellow Brits Slaves To Gravity, for what promises to be one of the live events of 2008.

It has already proved to be a scintillating start to an album campaign for the band. 'Come Morning We Fight' outsold their debut album in just one month. And the critical response has matched the commercial success, with the band drawing praise from all corners - ('Stunning second album', 4/5 Kerrang... 'Sophisticated noise pop', 3/5 Q... 'Spot on', 8/10 rocksound...).

Indeed, the video accompanying first single 'Pilot', hit MTV2's Rock Chart at number 5 and the Kerrang TV Video Chart at number 4!! Check it out for yourself at: Brigade Exclusive Video Premier: Rock Sound

Simpson and co. have already hit the road with Fightstar and Kill Hannah, and played a triumphant set at this year's Download Festival. But they are raring to go on this next bunch of UK shows, which also takes in Guilfest and the ZOO8 Festival. Catch the band at one of the following shows:
