Rolo Tomassi will release their third studio album – ‘Astraea’ – on November 5th.

The new album will be released by Destination Moon Records, the band’s own label that has already released records by bands including Holland and Kappa Gamma as well as last year’s Eternal Youth ROLO TOMASSI anthology album.

The band, which was originally founded in Sheffield and is now based between Nottingham and Brighton, will tour the release across the UK and Europe from October (all tour dates below).

The band will be touring across the UK in October, including a London show on Halloween, and will follow it up with a European tour in November.

The band will also be touring across the world in 2013 with a number of major headline shows and exciting support shows.

‘Astrea’ is the band’s first album since Nathan Fairweather and Chris Cayford joined the band at the end of last year, and was recorded by Jason Sanderson.

Jason was the man behind the band’s debut album ‘Hysterics’, and has worked with a host of other bands including 65 Days of Static and Brontide.

‘Astraea’ will hopefully cement Rolo Tomassi’s place as one of the most exciting and expansive bands in the British rock community.

Lead singer Eva Spence said: “I’ve never felt this focused and involved with my input into a release as I have with this one. I’ve had more direct and certain ideas with the way that the vocals fit in each song and the melodies I’ve worked with, and the lyrics are more centered around one theme.”

“A lot has changed for me in this time, I felt like I’d made a big transition. In this time there had been a lot of ups and downs and big changes in all aspects of my life. I finished writing the lyrics to this album in the most positive state of mind I’ve ever been in. The themes I’ve written about are centered around light, positivity and growth through situations which seem far from hopeful,” she added.
