Pottery have signed to Partisan Records in time for the release of their debut EP No.1.
The Montreal-based band have set release for May 10th and are marking its announcement with the impressive single Lady Solinas, one which is a ‘satirical take on the story of Andy Warhol’s shooter Valerie Solanas’, according to lead singer Austin Boylan:
“The story is used to consider the power of passion in artists and its effect on their mental condition. Although the lyrics hold a serious message, the approach to convey it is ultimately comedic.”
Pottery will play UK dates in the spring, but not before a tour of North America includes a stop at SXSW in March.
