The Boo Radleys have announced details of a brand-new studio album, as well as the 30th Anniversary reissue of their lauded, landmark 1993 album, Giant Steps.

Keen to celebrate the past as well as the present, the announcement that Giant Steps, the Creation Records album that, for many, cemented their legacy as one of Britains greatest yet unsung bands will delight fans keen to complete their collections. Bringing their story to the present, The Boo Radleys new single, Seeker, introduces the bands eighth album, set for release on Fri 9 June 2023 on the bands own Boostr label.
