Florence Black Announce Second Album 'Bed Of Nails' And Accompanying UK Tour Dates

Florence Black have announced their second studio album.
'Bed of Nails' will arrive on December 1 and finds the rising rock trio reuniting with acclaimed producer Romesh Dodangoda, who worked on their 2021 debut 'Weight of the World'.
Alongside the news, the band have dropped the new single, Look Up, a mid-tempo rocker that struts with driving bass, big guitar riffs and a hooky chorus. The song's accompanying video will premiere on YouTube at 6pm BST today (September 22). The band commented:
"Since our debut album release in 2021, we have been really busy touring in the UK and EU and, alongside our busiest touring year in 2022, we had written and demoed more than fifty songs. We spent a long time selecting and arranging our songs and feel that they are not just our best to date, but also the ones that show our development as a band. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved. 'Bed of Nails' is based around the theme of love. The good, the bad and everything in between that emotion. We had an amazing time in the studio recording it with Romesh. He has helped us to create the exact sound we were aiming for and we believe that we have achieved exactly what we had imagined the album to be."
Of the new track, they added: "Look Up is a proper driving track. It’s feel good central. The song is about loving someone but being aware of the consequences of doing so. The lyrics are metaphorical and could be interpreted in different ways, like looking forward to the future or being optimistic. The track has a more classical rock feel, a finger picked guitar riff, a driving bassline and huge drums!"
Florence Black previously teased the record with the singles Don’t Hold Me Down and Start Again. They'll support the release with a run of UK tour dates in February. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Monday (September 25).
