London-based punk rock troubadour Rob Lynch will release his debut album All These Nights In Bars Will Somehow Save My Soul on Tuesday,September 23, 2014 through Xtra Mile Recordings (Against Me!, Frank Turner, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah). The release will follow Rob’s current stint on this summer’s entire Vans Warped Tour and will be released in the midst of a UK headlining tour, which has also just been announced. All These Nights In Bars Will Somehow Save My Soul is now available for pre-order through iTunes HERE and through Xtra Mile Recordings HERE.
Not one to shy away from the rigors of the road, Rob Lynch has been busy carving out his niche in bars and venues across the UK and also in Germany where he’s sold out many shows, played Reeperbahn Festival and even appeared at the legendary St Pauli FC souvenir store. Other notable festival appearances for Lynch, even before he had management, agent or label on board, have included Download, Slam Dunk (UK), Groezrock (BE) and Fest here in the U.S.
Between November 2012 and August 2013, Lynch took time out to record tracks in Philadelphia with Shane Henderson (Valencia) and Hoxton, East London with Sam Duckworth that would go on to make up his full-length album. The result was an unbelievably honest and intimate record, which would eventually be christened All These Nights In Bars Will Somehow Save My Soul, a 12-track journey tackling such themes as the death of his father, life on the road and finding light in times of darkness. As Rob himself says, opener “31/32” is “a call to arms about enjoying the moment we’re living in.” From the sing-along lilt of recent single “My Friends & I” to the therapeutic mellowness “Medicine” and unassuming tearjerker “Widow,” this is an album that tells many a story of sadness and regret but always with an underlying sense of positivity and hope.
