Lawson to support The Wanted on upcoming arena tour
They're the boyband with a difference. Looking to follow in the footsteps of teen-girl-ecstasy-inducing groups like The Wanted and One Direction, newcomers Lawson bring a more mature, soulful brand of pop to the table. They not only play their own instruments, but going by tender acoustic number Standing In The Dark, they're a dab hand at emotional tissues-at-the-ready balladry too.
But why have one boyband when you can have two? The Lawson lads will be taking to the road with The Wanted for a tour of such unparallelled boybandery that it might through the Earth out of alignment. Or something like that.
Running through February and March, the arena tour will no doubt be setting teenage hearts a fluttering everywhere - and in the meantime, there's always a free download of Lawson's rather lovely track Red Sky to enjoy.
Catch both sets of boys on the following tour dates!
FEBRUARY
15 - Nottingham - The Capital FM Arena
17 - Manchester - Arena
18 - Sheffield - Motorpoint Arena
20 - Brighton - Centre
23 - Cardiff - Motorpoint Arena
24 - Liverpool - Echo Arena

Lawson - Standing In The Dark / Merry Christmas
A few weeks ago we featured Lawson's cover of Marry The Night on the blog, now for some original material from the boys!
We're loving their song Standing In The Dark - it really sums up in one track what they're about, strong pop-rock melodies and a maturity befitting a band many years their senior. In this stripped-back, acoustic setting, the band manage the tricky feat of remaining vital and engaging, projecting a polished, well-rounded sound.
And while we're on the subject of well-rounded performances, they've even come up with a rosy-cheeked emotional Christmas song! Lushly produced, it's another standout performance from the band that we reckon will be really making waves in 2012.
Fancy getting to know the band a bit better? Each of the lads have recorded a video of them taking a whistle-stop tour round their hometowns.
