Every single hamlet, village, town and city in the British Isles has a story of secret passages running beneath the landscape. The tales speak of hidden tunnels connecting the castle and the monastery, or the hermitage and the pub, or the church and the manor house. Often these are supposed to be escape tunnels, sometimes they are connected with smuggling or treasure, on other occasions the given reasons for their existence are somewhat salacious and scandalous. 

Yorkshire's very own tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival!

Sunflower Thieves are childhood friends, Amy and Lily: a self-produced sisterhood, nurturing a unique sound, through ethereal vocals harmonies and storytelling lyrics. The band’s debut EP, Someone To Be There For’, was met with huge support from Radio 1’s Sian Eleri, 6Music’s Steve Lamacq and revered tastemaker, Tom Robinson. They have previously played shows with the likes of Flyte, Say She She, Haley Blais, Nell Mescal and Lewis Watson, been longlisted for Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition and named ‘Ones To Watch’ by PRS.

Following first single “Relief”, today Our Girl announce the release of their new album The Good Kind due out 8th November via Bella Union. To accompany the announcement the band have shared new single “Something About Me Being a Woman”, a track on which Our Girl singer/guitarist Soph Nathan turns over a remark from an acquaintance that was at best “just bad timing” and, at worst, brazen misogyny.
