Allo Darlin’: new album and live shows | Music News

London-based indie-poppers Allo Darlin’ are set to release their hugely anticipated second album “Europe” on 11 May by Fortuna POP! To celebrate this they’re taking themselves off to spend the next 6 weeks touring the US.
There will be a special bonus CD that comes with the new album when purchased via Rough Trade. The bonus CD includes covers of songs by Eux Autres, Darren Hayman, The Ramones, Bruce Springsteen and AC/DC.
Coming very much from a DIY approach, they inspire true dedication from their fans, many of whom will travel hundreds of miles to see them. In their brief lifetime they have toured the USA four times, sold out tours across the UK and embarked on an epic five-week European tour. The band have also been strongly supported by BBC 6music, recording several sessions including one at Maida Vale Studios.
Their self-titled debut was released to universal acclaim in 2010 with plaudits including being named No. 2 record of the year by online retailer eMusic, and a glowing 1,200 word essay by legendary Go-Between Mr. Robert Forster in the Australian critical magazine, The Monthly.
“Europe” is released on 11 May on Fortuna POP!
