Fresh from releasing their debut album 'Chapman Square', Lawson have this morning confirmed a UK tour for February and March 2013.
‘Chapman Square’ is named after Andy’s flat where Lawson came together and wrote most of the songs on the album. This is where the guys spent many of their early days as a band and recorded their very first YouTube videos that landed them a record deal in June 2011. This is the same address that he lived in with his long term ex-girlfriend; a prominent relationship in Andy’s life that inspired most of the songs making up the album.
Lawson lead singer Adam Brown says: "The name means so much to us because it’s where we really came together as a band. We wrote a lot of the songs we’ve chosen for the album there and it’s where it all kicked it off for us with our YouTube sessions. We all used to crash at Andy’s at Chapman Square when we first came to London, it’s where Andy was living with his girlfriend at the time, who a number of the songs were actually written about. It was a really important time for us and now we can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
Lawson recently unveiled the music video for the third single to be taken from 'Chapman Square', 'Standing In The Dark'. Lead singer Andy penned the track with bassist Ryan Fletcher about a relationship breakdown, the pain every guy feels when they see their ex with another man; a theme which runs throughout the band’s debut album.
In other news, Lawson have been confirmed to perform at this year's Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball on Saturday 8th December. The lads join One Direction, JLS, The Script, Bruno Mars and more on a line-up that includes some of the hottest pop acts on the planet. Click Here to Compare & Buy 2012 Jingle Bell Ball Tickets.
