CALLOW YOUTH Release New Single ‘Ballad of a Travelling Man’
CALLOW YOUTH epitomize everything that is great about Brit-rock, and they are arguably the hottest young band to come out of Manchester in the last few years. Since releasing their latest EP Straight To The End in April, the band has continued the momentum and hype with a string of new singles.
The new single ‘Ballad of a Travelling Man’ is out now digitally through Golden Robot Records, and was preceded by 3 brilliant singles - ‘Mad Machine’, ‘Bootleg’ and ‘Man In Need’. CALLOW YOUTH has continued the rollout of high quality British rock.
Based on the film ‘Interstellar’ by Christopher Nolan, as well as the fascination with the story and boundaries pushed during production of the film, Callow Youth’s latest slow-burning rock hit ‘Ballad of a Travelling Man’ is about a man who travels to space as a hero, yet is left forgotten and floating through the void alone after it all goes wrong.
ABOUT CALLOW YOUTH
We all know there’s something magical in the ‘musical waters’ of Manchester, as it has shaped so many excellent artists that have helped paint the picture of the UK's musical heritage. There are many bands who have been hyped up as the next big thing, but have come and gone with barely a whisper.
However, Northern Manchester-based Callow Youth are genuinely laying down a strong claim to write their own chapter in this proud musical heritage.
Starting out in late 2017 after leaving school, Callow Youth released their first demo EP Vibe in 2018. Their 3 ‘proper’ single releases to date perfectly highlighting a growth in maturity, both in terms of song writing and mastering their craft as musicians, that belies their tender age. Steve Lamacq has featured the band's 2019 single 'Red Leather' on his BBC6 music show and the track reached number 3 in the UK vinyl singles charts on release.
A host of acclaimed live shows across the country have also helped to cement their claim to be considered genuine contenders, a claim their loyal fanbase wholeheartedly testify to and indeed display when watching their new heroes. Callow Youth have had numerous radio plays all over the world and their combined singles streams has surpassed 300k on Spotify alone. The band's biggest Manchester headline show to date came in March at the Deaf Institute, which continued in their proud tradition of selling out headline gigs months in advance.
With new tracks already in the can and ready to release very soon, these guys are the real deal!
