The new, as yet untitled, album is expected in late 2016 and they will be touring extensively both in the UK and internationally.

Area 11
Area 11 are a four-piece rock band from Bristol, UK.   Despite operating "under the radar", the band has amassed a fanatical following on social media, which has resulted in sold out shows around the UK. Their new album ‘Modern Synthesis’ is released July 1st.

Deap Vally
Californian, all –female hard rock outfit Deap Vally hail from Silver Lake, Los Angeles. Having toured both the US and Europe in recent years the new album from the band, which will be released later this year follows their 2013 debut, which came out on Island Records.

The King Blues
London based The King Blues were formed in 2004 and have released five acclaimed albums to date and most recently the incendiary track “Off With Their Heads”. Their yet-to-be-titled new album for Cooking Vinyl will be released in October.

In other news Cooking Vinyl has also announced the release of an exciting new project from Amanda Palmer who has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with the label.

Joining forces with her 72-year-old father Jack, a semi-professional choral singer, Amanda is preparing for the summer release of ‘You Got Me Singing,’ a collection of 12 cover versions of classic and traditional songs spanning different eras recorded over a seven-day period last year.

Amanda Palmer has also extended her existing agreement with Cooking Vinyl to include North America and Australia.

Rob Collins, General Manager of Cooking Vinyl, said, “With four brand new signings and an exciting new project from one of our favourite artists on the label this is an invigorating time for Cooking Vinyl. SKYE  |  ROSS, Area 11 and Deap Vally all offer something really unique and all have fantastic releases coming out later this year. Amanda Palmer’s new album project with her father is a real departure from her previous material and will surprise people in a good way. All of this along aligned with a strong release schedule from our existing roster of artists means 2016 is shaping up well.”
