Inglorious make their Milton Keynes return this week

Earlier this month Inglorious issued their first ever covers album, Heroine.

The release sees the band tackling material by a varied selection of female artists who they repect and admire; the first single lifted from the album was their take on Midnight Sky by Miley Cyrus.

"Miley has tons of great songs, but is clearly a rocker to the core. We are all about the female empowerment in this modern classic and it has one of those choruses you can't help but singing along to," says vocalist Nathan James.

"First things first, we know it is impossible to make these songs better, the originals are perfect and the performances legendary, so acknowledging that we weren't even gonna come close to the magic of the originals took the pressure off and we could just enjoy making this super fun album, Nathan explained, "It's about bowing to these incredible artists and, for me personally, saying thank you for sharing their gifts with the world.

"People assume that the singers I idolise are bluesy rock men, but they couldn't be more wrong.

"Every one of these artists has inspired me as a performer, writer, singer, or person. Whether it be the unbeatable voice of Whitney, the charisma of Tina, the honesty of Alanis, the intensity of Lzzy, or the control of Amy Lee.

"I love the fire all these women bring to their music and that's what we wanted to say thanks for. Not only to these artists, but the awesome women in all of our lives who have loved us and continue to support us."

Heroine follows hot on the heels of their fourth studio album, We Will Ride, which was issued in February.

Inglorious make their return to The Craufurd Arms on Friday, September 24.
