Hartlepool newcomers Champ are wasting no time. Today (Aug 28) they unleash their thrilling second single ‘Future’, a widescreen indie anthem following hot on the heels of debut track ‘Taste To Run’backed by us back in June and also by NMEDIY and BBC Radio 1.

Written as an ode to “friends and family working away to build a better life,” frontman Jonny Bee calls it a song for anyone chasing something just out of reach.

With a sound echoing The War On Drugs, Tame Impala, Wunderhorse, Champ are also gearing up for their first ever UK headline tour this autumn; taking in London, Manchester, their hometown Hartlepool and more.
