Cock Sparrer Announce Final Album Hand in Heart
The post Cock Sparrer Announce Final Album Hand in Heart appeared first on Consequence.
Long-running UK punk band Cock Sparrer have announced their final album. The LP, titled Hand in Heart, will arrive on April 5th, 2024.
Cock Sparrer formed in 1972, preceding bands like Sex Pistols and The Clash, but never achieved the commercial success of their UK punk counterparts. Amazingly, they still feature the same original four members — vocalist Colin McFaull, guitarist Mick Beaufoy, bassist Steve Burgess, and drummer Steve Bruce — as well as guitarist Daryl Smith, who has been in the band for more than 30 years himself.
Hand in Heart will be Cock Sparrer’s eighth album overall, and the follow-up to 2017’s Forever. The band will celebrate the LP with two record release shows: April 6th at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, and April 13th at Glasgow’s O2 Academy, with tickets available here.
A press release promises Cock Sparrer’s “iconic, anthemic sound” on Hand in Heart, but with a few surprises, including a string arrangement by Simon Dobson (who has worked with Bring Me the Horizon). The album is being produced by the band’s aforementioned guitarist Daryl Smith along with James Bragg, and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Kevin Tuffy.
Pre-orders of Hand in Heart are available in various vinyl and cassette formats via Pirates Press Records. See the cover artwork and tracklist below.
