Scouting For Girls – release their brand new album ‘These Are The Good Days’ featuring focus track ‘Stars Never Fade’

Scouting For Girls today release their brand new album ‘These Are The Good Days’ and announce that they will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a special one-off weekend in which they will play the biggest shows of their career to date. They will celebrate with a show at Manchester’s AO Arena on February 12th 2027, before playing a huge homecoming at the OVO Arena Wembley the following day – playing to a total of approximately 33,000 fans.
 
The album title ‘These Are The Good Days’ is the truth for the trio, whose enduring popularity continues almost twenty years after their breakthrough. Their current headline tour has seen all 24 shows sell-out; their previous album saw them return to the Top 20 for the first time in eight years; and the future is brighter still, with their two biggest headline shows ever confirmed for 2027. So these are the best of times, and those sentiments fuel the dynamic, defiant, sunshine-filled singalong optimism of the new album.
 
As vocalist and songwriter Roy Stride says, “What this album is about, what I feel the band is about, what my life is about… It’s all the same: bringing people together through live music and having a good time and singing along. And that’s why live music is so important. That’s what the title song is all about. About being in the present moment but also coming together.”

That sense of unity inspires the new focus track, ‘Stars Never Fade’Roy wrote the song in response to the excitement and awe-inspiring atmosphere generated by the great Oasis comeback, and its blend of irresistible melodies with a huge singalong chorus give it the feel of being Scouting For Girls’ answer to ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’.

Fans eager to support Scouting For Girls in their quest to once again climb the charts can buy the album HERE. Formats include two striking vinyl designs, and three value-for-money CDs themed around each band member. Roy’s adds five unplugged tracks, bassist Greg Churchouse’s adds four new songs from the sessions as well as an alternate vocal version of ‘Counting Down The Days’, while drummer Pete Ellard’s features band commentary for every song. All album bundles purchased from their official store are rewarded with a signed print.
