Release Date: March 30, 2015 on Ear To Ear Records
On March 30, Tape Runs Out will release their debut double A-side single ‘Friends’ through UK label Ear to Ear Records.
The band’s debut LP is expected in autumn 2015.
Tape Runs Out unashamedly display their edgy, refreshing pop-mindedness in these two tracks, with a potent elixir of guitars, hooks and the familiar soft hush of early 90s male vocals. This release includes the hallmark “Friends”, a layered jangle anthem sure to inspire dreaming and gazing, and the stand-out track “Flowers” is reminiscent of ‘Rock Action’ era Mogwai on ecstacy with a remarkable Cure-laced cool-down effect.
About Tape Runs Out: One of the most exciting bands to come out of Cambridge in recent times, Tape Runs Out have being enthralling audiences around England for the past couple of years. Although they have been variously described as indie, shoegaze, dream pop and electronica but they certainly borrow elements from these genres, they have carved out their own sound by blending cleverly crafted melodies, melancholic ambience and dreamy reverb-tinged rhythms. Headed by Liam Goodrum-Bell, Tape Runs Out’s music is infectious with a modern and unique twist, bucking stereotypical trends with songs to be savored by those who like to ‘feel’ and absorb the music, as well as the most intricate and scrupulous music lovers.

On Feb. 11 they release the “Revolution – The Shoegaze Revival” compilation with backing from several heavy hitters from shoegaze’s first wave. Creation Records co-founder Joe Foster explains, “This is a new comp with the best of the world shoegaze/magical psychpoppy’s REBIRTH….
