Release Notes:



The new Scouting For Girls album, produced by Andy Green at

Helioscentric Studios in East Sussex, is an unshakeably bold,

confident, and a genuine step up in sound that loses none of the band's

early charm, but builds and expands upon it as infectiously as only

they know how to be.



It is also a hugely optimistic record, at odds with the uncertainty

Britain faces in 2010. If Scouting For Girls are the everyday guys that

have obtained the unobtainable, they have consistently done it with a

smile on their faces, and with feet firmly on the ground.



If the success stories of X Factor are indicative of today's pop music,

then Scouting For Girls represent the other side of what British pop

has to offer. By their own admission, the trio would be unlikely to get

past the first stages of X Factor's auditions, and yet are no less

successful in uniting a nation hungry for uplifting and heart-warming

pop music.



The album opens on the first single, 'This Ain't A Love Song', a hugely

powerful, soaring song and a strong example of Scouting For Girls'

ambitious new sound. 'Little Miss Naughty' has already become a live

favourite from its very first play, and crams more bouncing melodies

into its three minutes than any number of established songwriters

thought possible.



ôFamousö is Scouting For Girls at their most unashamedly uptempo, a

'Video Killed The Radio Star' for the 21st Century, it's refrain of 'we

all want to be famous, we all want to be on TV' is an observation on a

generation who cannot get enough of reality television and the urge of

having the spotlight shine on them no matter what the consequences.



Where Scouting For Girls haven't previously ventured is into ballad

territory, and 'Take A Chance On Us' is their first torchlight anthem.

Fans will recognise it from the band's last UK tour back in 2008, where

it had instantly become a sing-along by the end of the first chorus.

Re-shaped and with alternate lyrics it has transformed into a soaring,

strings-laden skyscraper and acts as a timely breather ahead of the

100mph guitar romp and album closer, 1+1.



'Everybody Wants To Be On TV' is testament to the perseverance of these

three best friends from Harrow that booked their own shows in the local

pub for 10 years before their big, deserving chance. It is not

something Roy, Greg or Pete are willing to relent on just yet as they

write a bright new chapter of British pop for 2010.
