Popes of Chillitown release their fourth studio album ‘Take A Picture’. A genre-denying melée of energetic, fiercely catchy and immersive songs, the record brings together all the diverse influences in the band, spanning punk, rock, ska, hip-hop, metal, dub, two-tone and drum n bass.
New single ‘Short Straw’ joins recent cuts ‘Crashmat’ and ‘Take A Picture’, gaining support from Spotify, Apply and Deezer and with airplay including from Johnny Doom at Kerrang! Radio, Total Rock, Amazing Radio, Primordial and as wide reaching as national radio in Colombia.
Popes now announce new tour dates and a brand new music video to celebrate the album release. Renowned for their energetic live shows, they have amassed a loyal following, with 3 well-received albums, millions of streams, tours supporting Fishbone, Voodoo Glow Skulls & The Slackers as well as relentless headline touring of their own across the UK & Europe.
The eagerly anticipated fourth album ‘Take A Picture’ is out now on Criminal Records, with downloads, CDs and 12″ Splatter Vinyl available at all good retailers.
