Out now: ‘Falling Over Backwards’ is the comeback single from legendary blues and pub-rock artist Brinsley Schwarz. The track is the lead from his new studio album ‘Shouting At The Moon’ due out on 14th November via Fretsore Records and follows critically acclaimed 2021 release Tangled.

Shouting At The Moon represents Brinsley’s third solo album begun with his debut release ‘Unexpected’ in 2016 followed by Tangled, his first album for Fretsore Records in2021.

On the new single, Brinsley states;

“Looking for one more track for the album, got into the studio with some lyrics and a bit of a tune in my head, trying not to forget it. Played it to James on acoustic guitar. It was not going that well until James switched to Hammond organ, and it all just came together. Oh and lovely sax from Simon.”

Founder of the 70s pub-rock icons (if icons is not too strong a word!) of the same name, and subsequently Graham Parker and The Rumour, Brinsley’s passion for writing and recording reignited in recent years following two albums and tours with that band, as well as duo shows with Parker, resulting in his debut solo album Unexpected. Its 2021 follow up, Tangled, received widespread critical acclaim in the UK with glowing reviews and multipage features in the likes of MOJO, Uncut and RnR Magazine. Tangled charted in the Top 20 of the UK Official Chart Company’s Americana album chart in 2021.

Shouting At The Moon is already generating key interest from music press, with upcoming confirmed support in Record Collector and Shindig. Fans can stream ‘Falling Over Backwards’ HERE.

More on Brinsley Schwarz:
It’s not everyday a band takes on the eponym of their lead guitarist, and this was in the days before Van Halen, but a London-based pop outfit evolved into what would become pub-rock legends Brinsley Schwarz.
Remembered for their iconic performances and breaking ground in forging the foundations of London’s pub-rock scene, the Brinsleys brewed up a storm across the capital and the music world throughout the early 70s, with opening slots for the likes of Paul McCartney.

Since disbanding in the mid 70s, the band members went on to embrace varying facets of artistic output, with Nick Lowe going on to international solo success releasing hits including ‘Cruel to Be Kind’, a leftover from the Brinsley days.

Fans will recall Brinsley’s distinctive talents on display from the early years with the Brinsleys and performances with Ducks Deluxe, the six years with Graham Parker and the Rumour and nine years as Graham’s sideman guitarist and sometime record producer.

Now in his 6th decade in the music industry, Brinsley’s next creative delivery will be 2021’s extended-play, ‘Tangled’. Fans can expect a first listen to the new material when his upcoming single “Storm in the Hills” released on digital services on November 27th.
