Scouting for Girls announce details of new album “These Are The Good Days”
Scouting For Girls is gearing up to release their latest album, ‘These Are The Good Days’, on March 27th, 2026, marking their return following the success of their 2023 record, ‘The Place We Used To Meet’. The band, known for hits like ‘This Ain’t A Love Song’, ‘She’s So Lovely’, ‘Elvis Ain’t Dead’, and ‘Heartbeat’, have already sold out the majority of their upcoming headline tour, proving their enduring popularity.
The title track and lead single of the new album, ‘These Are The Good Days’, encapsulates a joyous celebration of the present moment, featuring a bright piano melody, sun-kissed guitars, and soulful gospel vocal harmonies, a first for Scouting For Girls. The song radiates a modern interpretation of classic Californian pop-rock, infused with the band’s distinctive British flair.
The album as a whole promises a theme of positivity and living life to the fullest, with an energetic vibe that shines through tracks like ‘Get What You Give’ and the exuberant orchestral closer, ‘Alright In The End’. Other standout songs include the timeless ballad ‘Stars Never Fade’ and the sixties-inspired pop tune ‘Don’t You Go Solo’. Overall, ‘These Are The Good Days’ offers a much-needed dose of optimism in today’s climate of negative news.
Lead singer Roy Stride took the reins in writing and producing the album, which was recorded across studios in California, Dublin, and the UK, with bandmates Greg Churchouse and Pete Ellard. The addition of touring guitarist Connor McDonald enhances the band’s musical depth, with his Clapton-esque style bringing a fresh sound to their music. The album was predominantly mixed by Roy, with additional mixing by Matt Bishop.
Fans can now pre-order ‘These Are The Good Days’ in various formats, including digital, CD, and turquoise vinyl. The band’s official store also offers exclusive limited edition ‘band member’ CDs with bonus tracks, each curated by a different band member.
