Description

Western Approaches, a fitting title for a band who039s spent much of the last two years living their American dream, however you039ll find its origins are a lot closer to home. An old World War II Naval base in Liverpool city centre shares the same name and it039s no coincidence. The album was conceived on the docks, a new location for the band and again much closer to home for the boys. It seems the further afar they play the tighter their grip on their roots become, playing their biggest headline show to date in Bootle a small town in North Liverpool where some of the lads grew up. This nostalgia and a dockland setting provided a postwar aesthetic to inspire the album, reflected in the name and the artwork.
