2nd December 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Interlaker have announced a UK headline tour in April 2025, in support of their highly praised self-titled debut album, out now via Hassle Records.

The band comment: “It feels like we’ve only just begun to dive into live shows. Every performance has been incredible and unique, even as we navigated that challenge of having just a few songs released. Now that the record is out, it’s going to be a whole new experience, and we can’t wait to celebrate that with everyone!”

Dates:

Apr 03: Bristol, Rough Trade
Apr 04: Southampton, Heartbreakers
Apr 10: London, Downstairs at The Dome
Apr 11: Manchester, Yes Basement
Apr 25: Glasgow, SWG3 Poetry Club
Apr 26: Leeds, Hyde Park Book Club

Anyone who has loved rock music over the last decade or so will be familiar with David Jakes and Jack Wrench. Jakes was the broodingly intense singer with Lonely The Brave; a complex character blessed with a once-in-a-generation voice. And Wrench was the explosive drummer with Arcane Roots, a man equally at home with math-rock complexity and sheer rock power. These two exceptional talents have been united in Interlaker, who might just be the sensational rock band you’ve been waiting for since they walked away from their former projects.

Jakes and Wrench – who only knew each other vaguely from their previous bands – brokered their new partnership on Instagram; exchanging casual messages, discovering a mutual love of REM and Pearl Jam, before progressing to swapping demos and song ideas, eventually writing and recording their brilliant debut album entirely online.

The sense of the unpredictable that courses through Interlaker’s album has also extended to an unlikely return to the live arena. The band – augmented by live members including Wrench’s brother – made a triumphant live debut at London’s Omeara last year, and played throughout 2024, including their debut festival performance at 2000trees festival in July.

Rest assured, Interlaker are a tale of the unexpected that everyone is going to love.
