Shoulder To Sigh On 2:12 Release Notes: Following the band’s belting return with new single, ‘What Your Boyfriend Said’ in June, Sheffield’s Little Man Tate are ready to unleash ‘Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy’, a record made under testing times, but one that signals an exciting new dawn for the quartet. Little Man Tate’s story began in 2006 amid the musical storm that befell Sheffield. Behind the scenes of his day job at The Boardwalk, outspoken young vocalist Jon Windle shirked a career in football to focus his attention on the band. With an honesty and wit akin to a youthful Damon Albarn, Jon was writing songs that documented everyday life with lyrics that twisted, turned and manipulated his observations of the city. Following a series of sell-out gigs in the city’s basement venues, the band signed to V2 for their debut album ‘About What You Know’, released in January 2007. It spawned a Top 20 hit (‘Sexy In Latin’), enjoyed heavy radio rotation and acclaim, and the gigs were selling out across the country and beyond to much bigger audiences. Despite the success, and having sold more records than most of their new city peers put together, Little Man Tate were one of the first bands to suffer from the music industry’s major label cull. However, regrouping and determined to prove feckless money men wrong, they headed to Sheffield’s celebrated 2Fly Studios to start work on the new album. The result is a brave record that Little Man Tate knew they could achieve, and one without restraint. Bold, brassy and suitably buoyant. The giddy testosterone that fuelled their debut is still ever-present. Relationships, close encounters and fleeting glances are still Jon Windle’s prime fodder for lyrical recollection, whilst musically the band’s Britpop-informed songcraft have side-stepped leftfield for giddy and intoxicating, guitar-charged, sing-a-long rollicks with a darker, deeper tone. Already Little Man Tate are playing to bigger crowds across the UK. ‘Northing Worth Having Comes Easy’ is the band’s call to arms and proof that passion and good, positive songs are what really matter at a time of industry anxiety.
