Radio One coup for teenage band
St Annes band Outl4w have been confirmed to play the "introducing" stage at Radio One's Big Weekend on Sunday, May 11.
It continues the success story of the band who, says manager (and father of three of the band's members) John Bentham: "manage to spin the media and music industry into a frenzied mosh by consistently self releasing EPs as quickly as they write them."
"This constant flow of creativity has been keeping the fans, the media and the band constantly on their toes," he added.
Outl4w hand-painted every cover of their first 7in single, which they released on their own record label Inl4w Wreckords and was chosen as NME Vinyl Of The Week.
Their first two EPs – Blame The Nation and I Can't Relate – received massive acclaim from press and radio with Maida Vale Live sessions for both Steve Lamacq and Colin Murray on BBC Radio One. They were twice 'Hottest Record In The World' on Zane Lowe's show with further radio support across Radio 1, XFM, 6Music and Kerrang!
This year Outl4w started off by playing the NME awards tour with Enter Shikari at the London Astoria.
They released their new single Nothing Else To Say in March followed by their eagerly awaited debut album last month.
They're touring all summer and playing the festival circuit once again – not least the fabulous Radio One Big Weekend in Maidstone, Kent.
