Dublin/London post-punk quartet Scattered Ashes are pleased to announce a run of February 2024 UK tour dates supporting fellow Irish iconoclast Meryl Streek.

Beginning on 16th February at Canvas 2, Manchester and finishing on 29th February at The George Tavern, London, tickets for the 8 date tour are on sale now.

To celebrate the news, the band are sharing their recently-released 2023 single Battles which chronicles the dire consequences of addiction.

Recorded at Darklands Audio, produced by Glen Brady (D.A.R.K.) and mastered by Simon Francis, Battles is a sombre meditation on despair and fragility in a finite world, as well as man’s capacity for change. ‘A story of sorrow, a story of shame, broken and hollow, can’t remember my name…’ The chorus is a double-entendre referring to both the Good Samaritan in the song, as well as the ghost of addiction itself: ‘But you follow me, follow me, you follow me, follow me down…’

The tour comes to Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield on February 20th and the Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds on February 22nd.
