Based in Toronto, Canada, Union Duke comprises of Matt, Ethan, Jim, Will and Rob, the accompanying press tells us that they are genuine friends who take influence from the gems of their parents’ record collections and injecting an extra dose of rock n roll attitude, whilst staying true to their traditional roots. I’ve no reason to doubt this after hearing their latest single which proves they are clearly good listeners as well as players. With ‘Atlas of Love’ they open to a simple guitar strum before building into a classic warm-sounding roots-rock gem that is a credit to those classics they were raised on and is sure to be an instant hit with their ever-broadening fan-base.
The single follows the release of earlier singles Ladidadida and 1,2,3, both of which received radio play across Europe and North America, Atlas of Love is the latest glimpse at one of Canada’s best kept musical secrets.
Atlas of Love is out this Friday, November 1st.
