The Beat starring Dave Wakeling
The Beat starring Dave Wakeling return with their first studio album since 1982. Released April 2018 via Absolute, Here We Go Love, is a brand-new collection of 13 vital songs that have their feet in the here and now, but lose none of the fire and frenzy of those timeless immediate classics that made the band’s name. The band also tour the UK in 2018.
As engaged and switched on as ever, Dave Wakeling’s lyrics draw from observing life; and given the tumultuous events of recent months his thoughts on what holds us together, but also the impermanence that underscores the human condition have never been more relevant. Here We Go Love has been crafted over the last two years in breaks from touring, Wakeling and the band having performed around a thousand shows.
