Andrew Cushin has been championed by two indie songwriting icons in the shape of Noel Gallagher and Pete Doherty, who recently signed the young musician to his Strap Originals label. His first single under the deal, You Don’t Belong, introduced an evolution in his sound, leading to airplay from BBC Music Introducing and Amazing Radio as well as a session for Sky TV’s new music show Spill The Sound. Now Andrew shares his new single Catch Me If You Can as he moves towards the release of his debut EP You Don’t Belong on April 22nd. Listen HERE. Watch the video HERE.
Catch Me If You Can moves with a swaggering strut as ragged riffs, thunderous rhythms and foreboding backing vocal harmonies underline its menacing mood. It also shows the maturation and range of Andrew’s voice, which now bites with a resolute rock ‘n’ roll attitude after he previously displayed vulnerability on early tracks such as Waiting For The Rain.
Establishing a reputation as a powerful live performer, Andrew has also supported bands including The Lathums, Two Door Cinema Club, The Libertines and most recently The Sheepdogs. Now he announces his biggest UK and Ireland headline tour to date, during which he will be one of the first artists to headline Newcastle’s new NX venue. Tickets for the tour will be available on pre-sale from 30th March at 10am and on general sale on 1st April at 10am from HERE. First comes a tour as guest to The Sherlocks, then a slot at Noel Gallagher’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus as well as a variety of summer festival shows.
He will perform at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds on October 5th and The Leadmill in Sheffield on October 14th 2022.
