Recently signed to Polydor, Sam Fender shares UK headline tour dates and devastating new track “Dead Boys”.
The fast-riser from Tyneside has taken the UK by storm with his youthful good looks and angelic yet tortured vocal. Making a name for himself by highlighting sensitive issues, Fender has covered topics ranging from poverty to social consciousness in his quest to make sense of the world.
“Dead Boys” is Fender’s latest attempt to make sense of a subject which is difficult to digest. A raw and powerful offering full of sonic twists and turns, “Dead Boys” is Sam Fender at his most mature. Much needed intelligent songwriting in the age of individualism.
“Dead Boys” is out now.
