Brooklyn’s We Are Augustines are set to release a double A-Side single featuring ‘Book of James’ and ‘Philadelphia (The City of Brotherly Love)' on September 3rd ahead of their Autumn UK tour following performances at Reading and Leeds Festivals.
The trio have not stopped traveling this year. Following a fully sold out UK tour in May, they flew back home for appearances on David Letterman, Jay Leno and Carson Daly shows, they played a US tour with Band of Skulls in between European and American festival slots, and a US tour with the Counting Crows playing to over 10,000 people a night.
This new release leads with the band’s flagship tune 'Book of James', a song that needs no introduction. Lauded as one of the singles of the year, the track delves into the heart of the subject matter from debut album ‘Rise Ye Sunken Ships‘ and is one of the most moving pieces of work the band have released to date.
This new double A-Side single is charmed with the presence of live favourite 'Philadelphia (The City of Brotherly Love)' which snapshots a city landscape. Not a world-class cosmopolitan playground, but a real place with real people living real lives. A subject matter that is close to all three members of We Are Augustines, particularly singer Billy McCarthy: “I'm not sure what my fascination with not becoming a casualty of your surroundings is about but it's, again, a character pleading with great urgency that they can't succumb to shutting down and accepting this as a life. There is indeed a world out there, and that once you truly realize it, the window of time is very short to get out.”
This double A-Side release will be available digitally on iTunes and other digital stores here.
