Following on from a pair of Top 5 singles, Lawson get set to release their third and possibly biggest song to date. The band are at their best when they play live and ‘Standing In The Dark’ has always brought the house down, making it the perfect choice for their third single, out October 14th. With the band’s forthcoming Hometowns Tour of intimate gigs coinciding with the much anticipated release of their debut album, Lawson are looking for an epic finish to 2012.
Since the band’s debut single reached Number 4, the band have continued to conquer the charts, with follow-up ‘Taking Over Me’ peaking at Number 3. Over the summer Lawson have also played a series of major festival slots including: Hard Rock Calling, T in the Park and V Festival.
"Standing In The Dark has been our favourite song to perform live for such a long time” says Ryan from the band. “Andy and I wrote it whilst staying in a mate's flat which was overlooking the O2 Arena a couple of years ago and getting the chance to perform it earlier this year at the arena itself was a definite highlight for us as a band.
“It's without doubt the song we're most excited about releasing to date. Am sure the fans will be as thrilled as we are that it's going to be our third single before our album Chapman Square comes out."
Lead singer Andy Brown penned the track with bassist Ryan Fletcher about a relationship breakdown, the pain every guy feels when they see their ex with another man; a theme which runs throughout the band’s debut album.
