To mark the start of their UK and Europe headline tour, Newcastle via Brighton trio Demob Happy have shared a brand new single ‘Sweet & Sour America’, out today via Liberator Music. Despite the band’s new album Divine Machines only just being released, ‘Sweet & Sour America’ is a previously unheard anthem, adding to the band’s ever-growing, riff-driven repertoire.

Speaking about the meaning behind the new single, Demob Happy frontman Matthew Marcantonia says, “America’s a beautiful place, but we've seen both sides on the tours we've done there, the highs and the lows, and it never fails to strike a chord. This is our ode to the strange dichotomy of America.” Praised for their highly energetic and impeccable live show, the band will embark on their extensive UK and EU headline tour from this evening, with the first show on this run to take place at the iconic Thekla in Bristol. Full date listings are below, after which they’ll be headed stateside for a run of shows with Death from Above 1979.
