Shvpes to play The Craufurd Arms in Milton Keynes on UK tour

SHVPES have announced a run of November headlining shows, and the band will wrap up the two week stint with a show at The Craufurd Arms in Milton Keynes, on November 20.

The last part of the year looks set to be a goodie for the band too - they are also supporting Bullet For My Valentine, Of Mice & Men and Nothing More.

The band will release its second album, Greater Than, on November 9.

The first single, Calloused Hands, is already wowing fans and newcomers to their style: "This is the first song we wrote together after coming back from our debut European tour," says frontman Griffin Dickinson.

"We'd been out for six weeks, experiencing something we'd always dreamed of...as soon as got back, as with most tours, reality hits and you're sucked back into the 'real world' that pressures you to go and get a real job - doing something you probably don't care about for some narcissistic company that equally doesn't care about you.

"This song was also about reminding myself why I don't want to be a part of that.

"With lyrics like capitalise; cannibalise and 'paralysed by your next fix,' it's exploring the futility of the paper chase.'
