Tough Cookie releases EP Devotion via Gravity Records
Tough Cookie has released its new EP Devotion via Gravity Records, followed by two headline shows and support dates with thistle.
The band comprises August Tse on vocals and lyrics, Jess Ayres on guitar, Gavin Sullivan on drums, and Dan Hvorostovsky on bass. Tse and Hvorostovsky first met in Leeds a decade ago.
Tse recorded and produced Devotion over two weeks in a church basement rehearsal space in East London. The title takes its name from Patti Smith's book of the same name. Devotion is followed by two headline shows in Manchester and London, as well as a run of support dates with Northampton three-piece thistle.
Tse said that OK Computer and The Bends by Radiohead are very crucial to how the band approaches production and songwriting. Hvorostovsky said that Grace by Jeff Buckley has been a more recent reference point.
