?On 8 August 2011 The Travelling Band follow the release of their second album Screaming Is Something  with a new single. Called ‘Battlescars’ the download only single is backed by ‘Face To The Ground’; ‘Battlescars’ is lifted off ‘Screaming Is Something’. ? ?The Travelling Band’s shimmering blend of cosmic-country-pop, understated psychedelia, vocal harmonies and nu-folk has made them one of the most talked about artists to emerge from the Manchester music scene - “If you consider the term Mancunian Americana to be an oxymoron try listening to the Travelling Band. Brilliant”Marc Riley BBC 6 Music.?

?A recording project in New York City in 2006 led a collective of like minded souls to record what was to become Under The Pavement , their debut studio album. Released two years later, the record was very well received by the UK media, gaining BBC Radio 6 ‘Album of The Day’, BBC Radio 2’s 'Single of The Week’ and a featured song in the Ian Dury biopic 'Sex Drugs & Rock n Roll'.

??Although, as The Sun says, “This debut blurs the folk/rock boundaries, delicately intertwining sensitive lyrics with accomplished folk vocals and jangly instrumental accompaniments to form a tapestry of glittering whimsy”, their 10 track second album demonstrates a giant leap forward for the band. Set for a June UK release, ‘Screaming Is Something’, which isn’t quite soul music, isn’t quite folk, isn’t quite pop, country or rock, is being supported by a UK Tour (dates below and ticketing details on the band’s website).
