Vintage Trouble reveal Hopeful record

Vintage Trouble will release third album 1 Hopeful Road on August 14 via Blue Note Records.

The follow-up to 2014’s The Swing House Acoustic Sessions includes 12 tracks, produced by Don Was.

The label say 1 Hopeful Road features “the band’s gift for penning startlingly honest songs about matters of the heart.”

It’s available for pre-order in the UK and Europe now. Vintage Trouble are opening for AC/DC on their current European dates, then play British Summer Time at London’s Hyde Park on June 26 then the Love Supreme Festival in East Sussex on July 4.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
