Tors have recently dashed from highlight-to-highlight, with millions of views and streams, support from BBC Radio 1 & 2, selling out their first UK headline tour, an arena tour across Europe, a sold-out headline show in New York, and playing gigs with the likes of Cian Ducrot, Sam Ryder, Freya Ridings, James Blunt and Tom Walker. They’re now raising the bar again in 2024, with the release of their brand new x6 track EP ‘Miracle’ on April 26th, produced by Simone Felice (Noah Kahan, The Lumineers). The EP comes ahead of headline tours across the UK, USA and Europe.

Tors are a band with a rich family heritage in music. Brothers Matt and Theo Weedon are the grandchildren of Burt Weedon OBE, whose ‘Play In A Day’ tutorial books helped numerous leading guitarists in the ‘60s and ‘70s to take their first steps as musicians, while Jack Bowden’s mother and sister are both music teachers. They also apply that innate talent as co-writers, achieving 500 million+ streams for their work with Declan J Donovan, Dean Lewis, Nick Wilson and The Wandering Hearts. The band have made their musicianship one of their most engaging traits, with regular songs teasers which see the trio strip songs back to pure vocal harmonies, often in beautifully serene locations.

"The ‘Miracle’ EP is the truest form of Tors we’ve ever released, a body of work that finally feels and sounds like the band we are in our heads. We recorded it buried in the wild forests and hills of Woodstock, New York with Simone Felice - a producer/mountain-wizard we had previously only dreamed of working with. We met via zoom in a car park before we went onstage at a Cornish festival last summer and flew out to start recording only a couple of weeks later. Simone quickly embraced us as his brothers and took us for a ceremonial baptism in the creek that runs alongside the studio. The following days were a whirlwind of noise, laughter and cutting the bullshit till we knew what we were looking for and the mission became clear. We returned to Woodstock two more times in order to finish what we’d started and got to see the studio in blistering summer, bone-rattling snow and everything in between. Something about the magical environment and Simone’s undeniable mentorship inspired us to record the strongest songs we’ve released to date. We are so excited for this EP to be out in the world and can’t wait for what’s next."
