Description
The chart-topping, multi-Platinum selling Scouting For Girls return with their new album 'These Are The Good Days' on March 27 2026. It follows the 2023 release 'The Place We Used To Meet' which became their highest-charting album in eight years. The trio behind mega-hits 'This Ain't A Love Song' (#1), 'She's So Lovely' (#7), 'Elvis Ain't Dead' (#8) and 'Heartbeat' (#10) still command a huge, loyal following as evidenced by the majority of their March 2026 headline tour already being sold-out.
The album was entirely written and produced by Roy Stride, and recorded between studios in California, Dublin and the UK with fellow founding members and lifelong friends Greg Churchouse (bass) and Pete Ellard (drums). The album is lifted by the addition of touring guitarist Connor McDonald (James Morrison, George Ezra), whose Clapton-esque playing brings a new musical depth to the band. Most of the record was also mixed by Roy, with the remainder completed by Matt Bishop (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran).
Roy Stride: The album's full of the sunny optimism and joy that's always been such a big part of Scouting for Girls. Almost twenty years on from She's So Lovely, we're somehow selling more tickets than ever, as people keep coming out for that unique connection and joy you only get from the magic of live music. I hope this record adds to the soundtrack -- it's packed with the positivity, fun, and sunshine that people have always associated with Scouting for Girls..."
