BOSTON MANOR to celebrate 10th anniversary of debut album Be Nothing.
Boston Manor are today announcing plans to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their beloved debut album Be Nothing. with a reissue plus UK and US touring. The Be Nothing. 10 Year Anniversary edition will be released on 14th August, with tour dates – on which they will perform the album in full for the very first time – set to commence in November.
Originally released in 2016 on Pure Noise Records, Be Nothing. – produced by Neil Kennedy – became an immediate hit with critics and fans for its deft wielding of alternative sounds and powerful, emotional songwriting. Be Nothing. set the blueprint from which Boston Manor would become the borderless, innovative rock band that the are today, spawning three key singles in ‘Laika’, ‘Lead Feet’, and ‘Fossa’. On the Be Nothing. 10 Year Anniversary collection, a number of the album’s original tracks are given special acoustic reworkings including both ‘Laika’ and ‘Lead Feet’.
Commenting on the anniversary, bassist Dan Cunniff says:
“For me; writing and recording Be Nothing. was one of the most exciting things we had done at that time. Doing the “band thing” for many years previous to Boston Manor, I’d always wanted to be involved in writing a full length record but never had the opportunity to do it properly. So by the time the opportunity came round, I felt like we were all hyper focused on what we wanted to achieve and also keeping in mind what this record would sound like in 10 years from that point. That being said; I think we achieved our goals with Be Nothing. because I believe this record holds up even today 10 years on. The record did more than we thought it would do for us. It opened up so many doors, especially in the touring world. Having the opportunity to travel all around the world because of one record is pretty insane!
Off the back of the release we announced Boston Manor’s first ever UK/EU headline tour (which we were shi**ing ourselves over btw) and to our amazement the shows all sold out. And I feel like at that point it was only the beginning for our band. be nothing. gave us the confidence that we can be a “real” band after all.
Standout song for me has to be Lead Feet (Corner Piece). It was one of the first demos we made for the record and going through the process it taught us a lot about song writing and structure. We thought it’ll be a nice touch to put some lyrics in the bridge from our very first EP “Here/Now”. It was a nod to how far we’ve come from recording our first EP.”
The Be Nothing. 10 year Anniversary edition will be available on CD and digital formats, as well as a number of very special vinyl variants. Pre-order / pre-save HERE.
O2 presale for the tour begins Wednesday 27th May at 10am BST. Artist presale / Live Nation presale begins Thursday 28th May at 10am BST. General on sale begins Friday 29th May at 10am BST.
