Scottish trio Traveller have released their new album ‘Blank Page’, which is now available on streaming platforms everywhere. The group – made up of Gerry Sheridan, Brian Socha and Simon Usher – have previously released singles Old Stories, Running and Traveller from the album, with fans getting plenty of opportunity to see what the record will sound like. To celebrate the album launch, the trio have released Us as their next single, the fourth from the 12 song record, which can be heard here. The Americana/country group cite Keith Urban and REM as influences and the album has been self-released.

Rising Welsh artist Shannon Hynes has shared the first piece of music from her upcoming EP in the shape of Off Guard. You can listen to the track here. The EP, which is set to be released sometime in spring, represents a debut record for Hynes, who has previously released singles such as I’m Not Pretty and Someone to Drink With. Off Guard is also the first new music that Hynes has released since December 2018. Speaking about the new song, Hynes said that it represents a new sound for her and that she is full of immense pride that this is the song that will be starting the new era. “Off Guard is a bit of a different sound for me – a bigger sound, you could say,” Hynes said. “In true country music style, it is a step by step story and I’m so proud and excited that this is the lead single of my new project.” Hynes, who is London based, is very much on the live circuit and will be supporting Lucy Blu at her London headline date at The Water Rats on November 26.
