Alex G has announced a new show at Glasgow&#39;s legendary Barrowland Ballroom later this year. Pennsylvania&#39;s preeminent master of melodic nostalgia and indie rock experimentation Alex Giannascoli and his long-serving band of brothers return to the city on Mon 17 Nov for their biggest Scottish live show to date, swiftly following the announcement of long-awaited new album Headlights, due for release on 18 July. <a href="undefined">In the meantime, Alex has previewed the first track from his new album</a>, entitled Afterlife. Aided by an irresistible mandolin-heavy hook, the song plays to the melodic strengths of previous records God Save The Animals, House of Sugar and in particular, 2017&#39;s Rocket, yet hints at new narrative direction and perhaps the most dextrous and most refined production to date. It&#39;s a bittersweet little banger which more than justifies the excited anticipation of this new record, perfectly-placed to come out right in the heart of summer.Pre-sale for the Barrowlands show starts on Thu 19 June @ 10amSign up <a href="undefined">HERE</a><a href="undefined"></a><a href="undefined">Check out the video for new single &#39;Afterlife&#39; below: </a><div class="video-container">

“‘Unstoppable’ is a cheeky title which tempts fate. But it sums up my journey. I’m an ongoing fighter, there’s an unstoppable element to my life and my career. And being unstoppable is true for all of us. Why stop? You have to just keep going.” Welcome to Kenny Thomas’ sensational new album, Unstoppable. For anyone familiar with Kenny’s classic soul hits such as Outstanding, Best Of You and Thinking About Your Love, the irresistible energy and infectious grooves of these 11 new songs will be instantly familiar. For fans and newcomers alike, the wisdom of Kenny’s voice is utterly compelling, even when it’s bouncing over seemingly carefree bangers such as How Does It Feel and If I Can’t Have You. These aren’t just the best songs of Kenny Thomas’ 35-year career: he’s become a better singer than ever in the 14-year gap since his last full album, Breathe. “Soul music becomes more real the older you get,” says Kenny. “I love soul. It’s what I grew up with, so I couldn’t have made any other music. Nothing else was on my mind when I started. But it’s music that becomes more authentic with age. I hope that comes across on this album. People who think they know what I am and what I do – just listen to this album. Is this real right here and now?”
