Cock Sparrer Confirm Eighth and Final Studio Album ‘Hand on Heart’
The legendary Cock Sparrer confirms the April 5th, 2024, release of their eighth and final studio album, ‘Hand On Heart,’
Some bands say all they have to say at the very beginning of their career, with diminishing returns the longer they hang around. That could not be further from the truth, however, for the legendary Cock Sparrer, the “biggest punk band most people have never heard of.” As the band gears up for the April 5th, 2024, release of their eighth and final studio album, Hand on Heart, and looks forward to celebrating their 52nd year with headlining shows and festival appearances, it’s never been a better time to be Cock Sparrer than right now!
To celebrate the album, the band has announced two special record release shows in the UK:
04/06/2024: London, UK – O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire
04/13/2024: Glasgow, UK – O2 Academy
The ten tracks that comprise Hand on Heart will thrill the Cock Sparrer faithful with their iconic, anthemic sound, but the band still has surprises and new tricks up their sleeves, including a string arrangement by Simon Dobson (Bring Me The Horizon, Mike Oldfield) that lends a touch of class to the affair. With production overseen by James Bragg & guitarist Daryl Smith, as well as mastering by Grammy-winning engineer Kevin Tuffy, the lads sound better than ever, and for once, more of the budget went into the studio than down the pub!
Pirates Press Records have teamed up with Cock Sparrer to make “Hand On Heart” available for pre-order on classic 12” 180-gram black vinyl, 12” 180-gram Milky Clear vinyl, 12” 180-gram Claret & Blue AsideBside vinyl in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, 12” picture disc with alternative artwork, digipak compact disc, and limited edition cassette!
