Liverpool band Circa Waves release nine-track album 'Death & Love Pt.1' following frontman Kieran Shudall's life-changing heart surgery in 2023.

The band process life's heaviest moments through the prism of punch-the-air choruses.

Circa Waves share new single 'Like You Did Before' from their album 'Death & Love Pt.1'.

The track explores the search for happiness through success, inspired by frontman Kieran Shudall's life-changing heart surgery experience.

The band have also announced their biggest UK headline tour to date.

Hold onto your flatpack furniture, folks.

Other acts joining the bill include Corinne Bailey Rae, Lucia & The Best Boys, Orla Gartland, Tom A. Smith and The Clause.

Everything Everything, Panic Shack and STONE are also set to appear with us at the Oxford festival this weekend (22nd and 23rd July).

The band have just released their new album, 'Never Going Under'.

With concern for the future, and a sense of hope that we can sort it out, Circa Waves are back with their fifth studio album, ‘Never Going Under’.

For a tour. Not a holiday.

Right from the very start, Circa Waves’ new album is one of resilience.

The four shows were due to take place in Kingston, Bournemouth, Brighton and Totnes, although the remaining three dates in York, Liverpool and Dundee look set to go ahead.

The introspective cut offers a third taste of the new record.

The seven-date run includes a hometown show at Liverpool’s famous venue, The Cavern.

The single will be premiered by Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1 tonight, November 29th.

With a new album set to arrive early next year, the indie icons join us for a show packed with new music.

Their new record will be released on January 13th via Lower Third / PIAS.

"The VEN EP is a collection of feelings."

The back will kick off the rearranged run at Cardiff Tramshed on 10th August.

"Pass the sprouts!"

Many bands would put their feet up having scored yet another Top 10 album, but not Circa Waves. Back with a new album less than 12 months after their last, frontman Kieran Shudall and Co. are in the form of their lives.

It's all in support of 'Sad Happy', their new two part album which arrives in full on 13th March.

"I've never been more excited about an album in my whole entire life," says Kieran.

Swimming in a new direction suits them.

Already able to play the biggest festival stages with anthems in their back pocket, and a new album that throws open a fresh set of doors, frontman Kieran Shuddal isn’t slowing down.

It's the latest taster of the band's forthcoming third album 'What's It Like Over There?'.

Circa Waves aren’t faffing about - it’s less that two years since the release of their second album ‘Different Creatures’, and there’s already another imminent. Watch out 2019, they’re coming for you.

That dream isn't out of reach, though.
Who doesn't want to be the biggest band in the world? Circa Waves are stepping up.
