Melbourne’s British India have reformed with their first new music in eight years and a national tour to go with it.
The new song is called ‘The Gospel of Luke’.
“All I want to do is play live rock n roll, it’s my lifeblood, which is why we kept playing gigs, but my urge to write songs just wasn’t there,” Declan Melia says. “Then one day, out of the blue, I picked up my guitar and ‘The Gospel of Luke’ appeared.”
The new song comes from a revised line-up with Jack Tosi replacing guitarist Nic Wilson. The song was recorded at Melbourne’s Sing Sing Studios with longtime producer Glenn Goldsmith and engineer Aaron Dobos.
British India released six albums between 2007 and 2017. The last album was ‘Forgetting The Future’. The band’s biggest hit was ‘Run The Red Light’ from 2007.
