FANS across the UK may have to wait one more week for the much-anticipated third album from Everything Everything, but it promises to be well worth it.

The release of Get to Heaven has been pushed back by seven days to June 22, yet fans of the art rockers, who formed in Tynedale but are now based in Manchester, are prepared to wait for what is set to be their best record to date.

Led by brilliant frontman Jonathan Higgs, of Gilsland, and featuring drummer Mike Spearman, of Newbrough, the four-piece has made huge waves in the music industry.

The band formed when Higgs, Spearman and fellow former Queen Elizabeth High School pupil Alex Niven joined forces with bass guitarist Jeremy Pritchard at Manchester University.

The line-up has stayed largely unchanged throughout its eight years, although Niven has been replaced by Alex Robertshaw.

Their debut album Man Alive threw them into the national limelight in 2010, making its way to the heady heights of number 17 in the UK charts.

Debut single Suffragette Suffragette earned rave reviews and received air play on BBC Radio One when it was featured by supporter Zane Lowe.

From the album, singles Photoshop Handsome, MY KZ, UR BF and Schoolin were all released, but were unable to break into the top 100.

Despite this, they were getting their sound heard, winning many fans along the way and landing a first, coveted spot at the world-famous Glastonbury festival in 2010.

Their popularity was about to soar, and they were chosen as a support act on tours by Snow Patrol and Muse in 2012.

This coincided with the release of their follow-up album Arc in early 2013 which shot them into the mainstream.

It debuted at number five in the charts, receiving national acclaim from the industry’s leading experts, as testified by its nomination in the Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello Awards.

Of the four singles released from that album, Cough Cough charted highest at 37 while Kemosabe peaked at number 48.

It was Kemosabe which received the highest acclaim though, winning Single of the Year at the 2014 Music Producers Guild Awards while also being shortlisted as Best Contemporary Song at the Ivor Novello Awards the same year.

To build on that success, Higgs locked himself away to write their latest offering, which has got fans across the country eagerly anticipating its release.

Managers Red Light Management have declared it the best offering from the band yet and a review of the album in Q Magazine saw it awarded five stars.

Addictive singles Distant Past and Regret have already whetted the appetite of fans, with the promise of something similarly spectacular from the other nine tracks.

To mark the release of the album, the band will embark on a tour of the UK during November.

Before that, they will appear at a number of high- profile festivals in the summer, including Reading and Leeds, T In The Park, and Germany’s Lollapalooza.
