London-based folk rockers Danny and the Champions of the World have announced details of their new album ‘Hearts & Arrows’ as well as a live date at The Borderline on Wednesday 8th June, when the band will preview their new material. ‘Hearts & Arrows’ is due for release on 18th July and follows last year’s ‘Streets of Our Time’. See below for tickets for the London date.
‘Hearts & Arrows’ was mixed by Ted Hutt, a former member of Celtic punkers Flogging Molly, who has since gone on to produce a number of his previous band’s albums. Hutt has also been noted for his production talents on the Gaslight Anthem albums ‘The 59 Sound’ and last year’s ‘American Slang’.
Speaking about the new album, Champions of the World frontman and former Grand Drive member Danny Wilson said: “On the back sleeve of the new record, I’m holding a Stratocaster. A friend saw it and said, ‘Woah, a Strat… Controversial!’ Yeah, too fuckin’ right! I wanna play a Strat, and I wanna plug it into a valve amp, and I wanna play music with my friends, and we’ve got a sax in the band, so let’s have a party. We can play all night, if you want. That’s what I love.”
“I love folk music, I always have,” Wilson continues. “But I’m so fucking bored of ‘new folk’, and the trendiness that surrounds it. Everyone pretending that it’s 1971 again. I wanted to make a totally un-bearded record. My reference points were Black Flag and Bad Brains, Tom Petty and Thin Lizzy, not Nick Drake and Sweetheart Of The Rodeo. Forget 1971, this is 1976 - Dr Feelgood, Nick Lowe, just great rock’n’roll.”
