Cardinal Black - Midnight At The Valencia, Manchester

Cardinal Black will release their new album, Midnight At Valencia, on 23 May via Thirty Tigers. The news comes along with their lead single Keep On Running. “It’s a darker track,” Tom Hollister told us, “but unfortunately, I think it will also be very relatable for a lot of our fans.”

Hollister says that Keep On Running was inspired by a friend he knew at university who was pursued by a stalker, hence the aura of menace.

Cardinal Black say that Midnight At The Valencia represents their “10,000 hours” of work. “It’s a long, shared history we have,” Hollister says. “We feel like we’ve paid our dues, and this album is the culmination of all that effort.”

Cardinal Black have a number of in-store dates in May, a headline North America tour in August, returning to the UK in October and Europe in November and December.
