Away Days have announced the release of their debut self-titled EP.

Fronted by guitarist and vocalist Jono Yates alongside fellow ex-Blitz Kids members Matt Freer and Nic Montgomery, the band will release their debut EP on May 6th via Speaking Tongues.

Alongside their EP announcement, the band has also revealed their new single release ‘Through The Night’, which is streaming now via Kerrang!

The band will also perform at this years Slam Dunk Festival on the acoustic stage over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

Speaking of the formation of Away Days, Jono Yates said: “We just wanted to play music that we felt comfortable playing again. We were all brought up on punk rock and on our last album, we abandoned all of our principles and lost our way.

“Now we’re firmly grounded, focused and just making songs we’d actually want to listen to. Over the last 4 years, we’ve been moulded and marketed by an industry that we grew to hate. That was why it [Blitz Kids] had to end.

“Now we’re doing everything on our own with the help of some close friends we met during our time as Blitz Kids who we trust. I took out an overdraft to pay for this recording and even drew the artwork myself. It’s DIY through and through. It reminds me of the old days and why we started making music together in the first place, and it’s an exciting time for us!”

The Away Days EP track listing is as follows:
1. Messiah
2. Through The Night
3. Give Me My Life Back
4. I Look Alright (But I’m Not)
