Two years ago, British pop band Scouting For Girls stole our hearts and jetted off to the stars with them. The trio, fronted by the exuberant showman, Roy Stride, arrived with a clutch of contagious hits (She’s So Lovely, Heartbeat, It’s Not About You, Elvis Ain’t Dead) and one of the most successful number 1 debut albums (‘Scouting For Girls’ released September 07) in years, to become the biggest-selling new Brit band of the year. It culminated in 3 Brit Award nominations (British Breakthrough Act, British Single (Heartbeat) and British Live Act), multiple sold-out tours and the three everyday guys from London emphatically became a home-grown phenomena.
‘Everybody Wants To Be On TV’, Scouting For Girls’ fantastically fresh and exciting second album was no walk in the park for the three boys from Harrow. Friends since school, and a band for just as long, they entered the limelight merely weeks after signing to Epic Records back in February 2007. The eponymous debut was released just seven months later and Scouting For Girls quickly became a British favourite. Such is the demand for more in an instantaneous world, that the difficult album number 2 was quickly proving tougher with every sold-out gig finished and every record sold.
Coinciding with the release of their new album, Scouting For Girls are hitting the road and will return to Bournemouth this May to bring ‘Everyone Wants To Be On TV’ to an audience who so greatly received their debut album back in 2008.
