A Glasgow rock band has announced that they will be playing in Whitehaven this summer.

Anchor Lane will be performing at The Solway Hall on Saturday, July 1  in support of their new album ‘Call This A Reality?’

Conor, Lawrence and Graeme spent the past couple of years writing and recording the new material in Glasgow with producer Bruce Rintoul (Twin Atlantic, Fatherson, Vukovi).

The resulting sound of the band’s sophomore album can only be described as alternative, with an underlying groove and is a sum of the band's influences including the likes of Nothing But Thieves, Royal Blood, Bring Me The Horizon and Green Day.

They said: "We’re so excited to bring our brand new album Call This A Reality? out on the road! Expect fun, high energy performances every night along with some old favourites too. Don’t forget your dancing shoes."

The show will give fans the chance to hear the album live and cement the band as one to watch within the UK rock scene after a successful run of headline shows throughout February 2023 garnered great reviews.

Before the release of their debut album ‘Casino’ in 2020, Anchor Lane had been building a following with to their relentless gigging schedule. The album garnered rave reviews across the board and went straight into the Official UK Rock Albums Chart at Number 9, scoring the band their first Top 10.

It was also Top 20 in the Official Scottish Albums Chart and Top 50 in the Official UK Independent Albums Chart. Appearing at festivals such as Download, Isle of Wight, Stone Free, and Belladrum. 

Along with notable guest spots with acts like Eagles of Death Metal, Tremonti and Cheap Trick) Anchor Lane were denied the opportunity to tour the release of ‘Casino’ due to the global pandemic.

The band turned this into a positive when, amongst several live streams for their fans, they used the time to dig deeper into the song writing process, which has resulted in the brand new collection of songs to be found on ‘Call This A Reality?’.
