The Cork trio's tour will also coincide with the release of a new single

Now when we say that this single was long-awaited, we certainly mean it: with the exception of 2005’s odds’n sods Souvenirs collection, it’s been six years since the Cork trio committed anything to plastic. If ‘Miles and Miles’ wasn’t weighed down with so much expectation, you might deem it a humdinger of a record – it certainly sounds amazing on radio, the crescendo in the chorus drilling into the core of your brain. But I have an odd feeling of having somehow expected more. And no, I can’t quite explain it either.

Throughout the '90s and beyond, The Frank And Walters were effectively a lone beacon for Cork rock. But over the last year all that changed, with the emergence of an exciting new scene in the city, centred around the Cork Rocks phenomenon. If the momentum can be maintained, there's enough outstanding young bands strutting their stuff to ensure that the city by the Lee becomes the focus for unprecedented A&R interest.

It’s a mark of the quality of material at their disposal that The Frank and Walters were able to discard tracks like ‘You Asked Me’ as B-sides. Lifted from Souvenirs, the group’s forthcoming rarities collection, this is another slice of the group’s indie-pop brilliance. Fast-paced and with more than a hint of Teenage Fanclub running through its sweltering three minutes, ‘You Asked Me’ is as bouncy and catchy as their cult classics ‘This Is Not A Song’ and ‘After All’. B-sides ‘How Can I Exist’ and ‘Pathways’ are equally impressive. We eagerly await Souvenirs.
