Black Country New Road have released Ants From Up There on New Music Friday – have a listen with Live4ever right here.
The release of Black Country New Road’s second album has been overshadowed by the surprise announcement just days before of the departure of singer Isaac Wood.
Whilst immediate tour dates were consequently cancelled, the remaining band-members were firm in their desire to carry on, and already have their eye on new material.
“I have bad news which is that I have been feeling sad and afraid too. And I have tried to make this not true but it is the kind of sad and afraid feeling that makes it hard to play guitar and sing at the same time,” Wood said in a statement.
“Together we have been writing songs and then performing them, which at times has been an incredible doing, but more now everything happens that I am feeling not so great and it means from now I won’t be a member of the group anymore.”
