Haircut 100 Announce North American Live Dates

New Single 'Come Back To Me' Out Now

New Album ‘Boxing The Compass’ Out June 19

Haircut 100 announce North American Live dates, joining Squeeze and Adam Ant in August and September of this year. Tickets on sale Friday May 8 at 10:00am Eastern. The band will also release the follow up to their smash debut album released in 1982 Pelican West. Boxing The Compass will be out on June 19 with a vinyl release to follow on June 26 via October is Orange Ltd, distributed in North America by BFD/ The Orchard. An unexpected second chapter in the Haircut 100 story gathered pace last year when their single ‘The Unloving Plum’, became Radio 2’s Record of the Week and the band played sold out shows across North America and The UK . Pre-Order Boxing The Compass here.

The band, all these years later still deliver the same groove-driven, horn-laced tracks that will comfortably sit alongside their classic ‘80s hits ‘Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)’, ‘Love Plus One’, ‘Fantastic Day’ and ‘Nobody’s Fool’.

Continuing the groove is the band's new single 'Come Back To Me' out now. Nick Heyward says: "Come Back to me is the first song on our new album, Boxing the Compass, and it picks up from where we left off with Nobody’s Fool. It’s a continuation of the dream and a kind of atonement. Like in the film of the same name, where Keira Knightly’s character Cecelia is calling "Come back to me" to James McAvoy’s Robbie to recall what they had together. It’s also a trip through the years after the Second World War to the present day through the 70s and 80s via bombed out shelters and derelict land, Vauxhall Vivas, ska and Trojan records. It’s the ever-changing cultural landscape and being a pop-funk-soul band with the added influence of life experience."
