The Districts will release their new single ‘Heavy Begs’ on 27th April 2015.
The track is the latest to be taken from the band’s new album ‘A Flourish And A Spoil’ which was produced by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen) and is out now on Fat Possum Records.
‘Heavy Begs’ follows recent singles ‘4th And Roebling’ and ‘Peaches’ both of which found their way onto the A-list at BBC 6 Music.
With ‘Heavy Begs’ The Districts once more deliver raw and energetic blues-inspired rock. Woozy guitars are grounded by a driving rhythm and lead singer Rob Grotes’ distinctive distorted vocals.
Listen to ‘Heavy Begs’ below.
The Districts are a young four-piece from the small town of Lititz, Pennsylvania who have been steadily building themselves a global reputation on the strength of their energetic live performances.
In the first of a series of live films with Fat Possum Records, Out Of Town Films captured The Districts performing a homecoming show in Philadelphia following the release of ‘A Flourish And A Spoil’.
Currently in the middle of a headline tour of the US, The Districts will play a handful of shows at SXSW in Austin and will return to the UK for a run of shows at the end of April. They will also be back for a number of European festivals this summer including London Calling, Latitude, Longitude, Haldern Pop, Lowlands, Melt Festival, and Reading & Leeds Festivals amongst others.
