Wet Nuns Announce New Album And October UK Tour

Everyone’s favourite deathblues duo Wet Nuns are set to unleash both their debut album and head out on the road again with a UK headline tour this October.

The last year has seen Sheffield’s ‘favourite sons’ win supporters across the board, from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, Arctic Monkey’s Matt Helders, NME, Kerrang!, as well as taking home the gong for ‘Video of the Year’ at the Artrocker Awards and performing at both Reading and Leeds Festivals.

The hell-raising pair showed no signs of slowing down earlier this year with the release of their critically acclaimed debut EP ‘Broken Teeth’, festival dates across the country, appearances at SXSW and New York Sound City, and the sold out success of their very own festival, the affectionately-titled Detestival.

Their hugely anticipated self-titled debut album, recorded with Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, MIA, The Kills), is also set to land this October. After many weeks of negotiating and brainstorming, the following album titles were shelved; ‘In Da House’, 'Nashville Nostalgia', 'Happy Girthday', 'Flatcap Lumberjack' and the 'Catflap Flapjacks', 'Huangpu River Dead Pigs', 'Spitbubble Cathedral', 'Vibed Cubed', 'Groovy Sauna', 'Greatest Wets', and finally 'Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit'.

With none of those working out, Wet Nuns self-titled full-length album is due to be released on October 7 on their own label, Throng Of Nobs, on vinyl, CD and digital download. A new single Only Sometimes will also precede the debut album release this September.

The duo prepare to travel the country this October, preaching the gospel according to Wet Nuns (which admittedly mostly centres around ‘women, death and beer’).

Ahead of the tour, you can also still catch Wet Nuns at the following festivals; Leopallooz, Y Not Festival, Boardmasters Festival, Beacons Festival and Southsea Festival. Check out wetnuns.com for full details.
