'Warriors' Digital Single Release

5th APR 2013

The Warriors single is set for digital release on June 16th.

Marking their first professionally recorded official release, Warriors is the stunning new single from burgeoning folk group CoCo and the Butterfields. Having emerged back in 2011, the Canterbury group has quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting folk bands in the UK. From humble beginnings busking in their hometown, the band have gone on to support the likes of Bastille and King Charles, and picked up numerous awards during their journey, including the prestigious UK Live and Unsigned 2012 competition. Their unique blend of folk, pop and hip-hop has amassed the group a considerable fan base, soon to be highlighted as they played to 1,200 at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury on 5th May for the official Warriors launch.

Having built up this solid foundation, CoCo and the Butterfields are now set to release their first official single ‘Warriors’. A great song choice, the track showcases the band’s distinct sound quite succinctly. Opening with the song’s powerful chorus line, delicious harmonies and infectious melodies capture the listener immediately. This builds into a foot-stomping instrumental section highlighting the band’s talents. Finding a place amongst this varied instrumentation is acoustic guitar, banjo, violin, double bass and vocal percussion from beatboxer Jamie Smith. Superbly catchy and uplifting, the single should see the band continue their rise to success.

This truly eclectic mixture of tone and timbre makes for an exquisitely fresh sound that is very quickly earning CoCo and the Butterfields their reputation. Now very well established on the national circuit, the Butterfields are bringing their new sonic invention, which they have dubbed 'Fip Fok', to the masses. With shows booked in all corners of the country including some fantastic festival slots, CoCo and the Butterfields will soon be coming to a venue near you.
