The Magic Numbers will release Outsiders, their first studio album in more than three years, on May 11th.
“I never wanted to be a part of anything, the cool kids at school, the pretend outlaws,” Romeo’s says of the record’s theme. “I was always an outsider, we’ve always been an outsider band. We don’t fit in, never have and never will. Especially now. As you get older you realise your strength in not giving a f**k.”
“You realise what you’ve been trying to do your whole life. Create something that’s yours, your own world, your own views, make something special, start your own gang but always be YOU within it. Don’t conform. Don’t fall in line. Be free. Be inspired. Inspire. Live & love.”
A lengthy UK and Ireland will launch in Cardiff just before the album comes out.
