Scouting For Girls sign with Absolute

12 May 2025 - Press release

British band celebrating 15th anniversary of UK No.1 This Ain’t A Love Song in 2025.

 

Scouting For Girls have signed an exclusive label services deal with Absolute.

The agreement comes at a landmark time for the British trio, as they celebrate the 15 year anniversary of their UK No.1 single, This Ain’t A Love Song, and announce their next album set for release in 2026.

Absolute Label Services will support the new album with digital marketing, distribution, and project management, as well as running a long-term strategic D2C campaign.

Fresh from selling out their 2024 tour in record time, with over 45,000 tickets snapped up, fans can look forward to a summer full of festival appearances across the UK this year, and a newly-announced headline tour for 2026.

Scouting For Girls debuted in June 2007 with their It’s Not About You EP, followed by hit single She’s So Lovely in September that same year. The track currently has more than 200 million streams on Spotify.

On the new deal with Absolute, the band said: “We’re truly impressed by everything Absolute has accomplished. From their successes with the likes of Busted and McFly to the ambitious vision they presented us, we knew this partnership would propel us to even greater heights. We can’t wait to share our new music and celebrate this exciting phase in our career.” 

Absolute Director Mark Dowling said: “We’re proud to welcome the brilliant Scouting For Girls to Absolute. I’ve long admired everything they’ve accomplished over a consistently impressive career. The fact that their live bookings are stronger than ever speaks volumes — not only are they still energising their loyal fanbase but clearly attracting new fans too. We’ve got some exciting plans lined up for the year ahead, and it’s shaping up to be a dynamic new era for the band. Their decision to partner with a truly independent company in Absolute reflects their desire for a hands-on, committed team — and we’re ready to deliver the tailored support and attention they deserve.”
