After finishing their UK tour in support of Miles Kane, and after being picked by Noel Gallagher to support him at the Roadhouse back in October, new Manchester based six piece FOLKS have made new track "Skull and Bones" available as a free download.

FOLKS have scheduled a few live dates before the end of the year, including a rescheduled show with Miles Kane in Liverpool:

Tue 22 Nov - Manchester, Deaf Institute
Wed 23 Nov - London, The Lexington
Thurs 1 Dec - Liverpool, Academy 1

Bringing together classic song writing with emotive vocals and irresistible melodies, Folks make music to be listened to and enjoyed over and over. The band were formed when guitarist and writer Michael Beasley hooked up with vocalist Scott Anderson, and they relocated to the US to record what would end up being their debut album, to be released early 2012.

On their return the duo pulled together a full band (Thom Fripp – lead guitar, Harry Gumery – bass, Wil Akroyd - keyboards and Elliot Barlow –drums) which ensured this group could also let rip live. They kept themselves busy in a rehearsal studio, out of the way, letting the tunes evolve into another side of Folks – one with absolute precision playing and amazing stage energy.
