Northern Ireland's General Fiasco have announced details of their second album 'Unfaithfully Yours', due for release in June 2012 on Dirty Hit.
The band’s debut album ‘Buildings’, released on Infectious Music in 2010, saw the Northern Irish band play festivals and dates around the world including Japan, New Zealand, USA, Reading and Leeds, Glastonbury, Oxegen and T-In the Park.
They also played support to Snow Patrol at the biggest concert ever to happen in Northern Ireland at Bangor’s Ward Park to 45,000 people.
They toured relentlessly for months, picking up supports with the Enemy, Kids in Glass Houses, One Night Only and Fighting with Wire amongst others and found themselves with a Kerrang! Magazine best new comer nomination too.
The band have been writing and recording for most of 2011, but came back with an EP ‘Waves’ from which ‘The Age You Start Losing Friends’ won ‘Best Song’ at the NI Music Awards held as part of the prestigious Belfast Music Week which saw the MTV awards come to town.
‘The Age You Start Losing Friends’ also picked up another Hottest Record in the World on BBC Radio 1 and the following EP ‘Don’t You Ever’ has already picked up plays on BBC Radio 1 and beyond including several local and college radio stations in the USA.
