Calpurnia Release Spotify Singles EP, Announce World Tour Dates

Calpurnia released their debut EP Scout earlier this year and since then have amassed millions of streams, played to pack rooms and festivals and made their late night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this past Summer. Today, the four piece are excited to announce the release of their Spotify Singles EP.


The band had this to say about the music: "Inspired by Weezer's triumphant cover of Toto's Africa, we decided to take on Say It Ain't So, a fan-favourite song on the console game Rock Band. We played that song so many times in the game it inspired us to actually learn how to play it as a band! We also hope people enjoy a different take on our tune Wasting Time, which is the second track on our debut EP Scout. 

Recording these songs live at the Spotify Studio was a fantastic way to help us get ready for our upcoming European and Southern US tours, and a great way to pay homage to a band that's changed music many times over."

The band, led by Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things fame, have also announced additional world tour dates including a run of U.S. dates in early 2019. See below for a full rundown.

Acclaim for Scout EP:
The poppy melody and simplistic lyrics transcend Calpurnia from a band that is literally and figuratively put on a stage tgenuine young teenagers in pursuit of perfecting the modern indie-rock sound." - LA Times
