Tough Cookie share new single "Paycheck" and announce headline tour

Speaking of the single, frontperson August says: “I wrote this song on the way home from work - no headphones and a dead phone. I started noticing people, really seeing them - blank faces, tired eyes and I caught a reflection of myself in them. The brutal truth was I was stuck in a loop, worn down, sleep-deprived, and aching to escape it.”

The band have announced a UK tour; culminating in their biggest headline show to date at Hackney’s OSLO on 9 December, with the six-date tour taking in Bristol’s Louisiana and Manchester’s YES Basement along the way.

They will also support powerhouse punk duo The Pill on their upcoming eight date UK tour, kicking off with a sold-out show in Leeds on 24 September and wrapping in London at Omeara, with sold-out dates in Bristol and Manchester en route.
