Following the release of their second album ‘Screaming is Something’ and a tour that has seen the new record gather a host of early admirers, Manchester’s The Travelling Band are currently getting settled in to the festival season with dates at Eden Sessions, Green Man and Standon Calling. With more headlining dates on the horizon, the folk rockers have a busy few months ahead and things are just getting started. Frontman Adam Gorman recently took some time out from their hectic schedule to chat with Stereoboard about the band, their music and the meaning behind ‘Screaming is Something’.
Whatever your opinion of U2, Coldplay and Beyonce might be, there is no denying that, headliners and celebrity attendance aside, Glastonbury is one of the country’s most diverse music festivals, which offers young hopefuls an opportunity to share their music with the masses. One group that you won’t find arguing against this point is Manchester-based indie folksters The Travelling Band. Although they weren’t gracing any of the Somerset event’s many stages last weekend, the festival must have brought back some fond memories for the quintet. In 2008, The Travelling Band were fortunate enough to be given the honour of opening Worthy Farm’s Other Stage, despite being relatively unknown at the time, after receiving the festival’s Best New Talent award. A proud achievement indeed, and the perfect celebration to accompany the release of the band’s first album ‘Under the Pavement’. Three years on and the group are back with their sophomore release ‘Screaming is Something’ and, this time, they are setting their sights high.

With record viewing figures and huge record sales (including 25 singles in the US Billboard Charts at one time), it's no surprise that the cast of Glee are on a sold out tour of arenas around the country. From the moment Glee hit our TV screens, the phenomenon has erupted into something of massive proportions - hell, the word "Gleek" is probably being lined up for the next edition of the Oxford Dictionary!
