Fast becoming one of the most hotly tipped new artists in the States, Detroit duo Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. will introduce themselves to the UK with the release of the ‘Nothing But Our Love’ EP on October 10th on Warner Bros. Records.
Released on digital and 12” vinyl formats as a tantalising taster of their upcoming debut album ‘It’s A Corporate World’, the EP features the title track, a remix courtesy of Danish solo artist, producer and DJ Kasper Bjørk as well as two other album highlights in the shape of ‘Skeletons’ and ‘Ugly Person On A Movie Screen’.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. were formed in 2009 when Josh Epstein contacted Daniel Zott after seeing him play a show in Detroit at which was impressed by the performance, songwriting and charisma he had witnessed on stage. A musician himself, Epstein recognised his style wasn’t entirely similar to Zott’s, but felt their two differing headspaces would form an interesting combination. Even though they were both fairly busy with other musical endeavours at the time, he suggested they join forces and attempt something together.
Subsequently signed to Warner Bros. Records, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. recently released ‘It’s A Corporate World’ in North America to a plethora of positive reviews. The album will receive a full UK release in the Spring of 2012.
The band will play their first shows on these shores at the Breakout club night at London’s Proud Gallery on October 12th and Club NME at Koko on October 14th.
Tickets for the Proud show are now on sale at www.viewlondon.co.uk/clubs/breakout-dale-earnhardt-jr-tickets-28676-32432.html, while tickets for Koko are available from http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=460512&interface.
