Mumford & Sons Live Dates & New Single "Roll Away Your Stone"

Mumford & Sons release their new single, ‘Roll Away Your Stone’ through Gentlemen Of The Road / Island Records on the 7th June 2010. It is taken from the band’s critically acclaimed, platinum selling Top 5 debut album, ‘Sigh No More’. It's turning out to be Mumford & Sons' year. Spurred on by glowing word-of-mouth recommendations and a fearsome live reputation, their debut album, 'Sigh No More', has spent the first three months of 2010 in the Top 20 of the UK's album chart, soaring beyond 350,000 sales in the process. The four friends have been on the cover of the NME, sold out a triumphant British tour and secured some great slots at the summer's biggest festivals. And it's not just in the UK where things are sky-rocketing for them. The band were in Australia at the beginning of the year, where 'Sigh No More' knocked Susan Boyle off the top of the album chart and stuck around at the summit for four weeks, achieving double platinum status. And, in the next few months, they've got sold out shows to look forward to as far afield as Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the USA, where they took David Letterman's show by storm in February. The folk-rockers even took their euphoric live show to India in December 2009, where they played sold-out performances in Pune, New Delhi and Hyderabad. While they were there, the band decamped to a studio in New Delhi to collaborate with a collective of Rajasthani musicians (the resulting recordings are due to appear sometime this year). Footage of the India trip can be seen in a terrific new tour film on YouTube. Roll Away Your Stone is the rousing follow-up to The Cave, a track which dominated the nation's airwaves throughout February and March. The new single is a similarly stomping tale of desire and defiance, which looks set to add further fuel to the band's incredible rise.
