Touriste "gonna be household names"
'Drowned in Sound' the music community site that offers News, Features and Listings has featured Touriste's debut single 'Battle On' which was released last Monday (11/09/2006) on Faith & Hope
"Isle of Sheppey four-piece Touriste may be an unfamiliar name to most of you at this moment in time, but trust me: they're gonna be household names this time next year" said Drowned In Sound reviewer Dom Gourlay. "Battle On is what Athlete would have become if they'd continued down the Beta Band road to experimental subversiveness rather than hibernated underneath dad's carpet slippers, or even Keane if they would actually take a chance and do something interesting rather than merely copy the lighter side of their record collections."
Dan finishes his review by saying "... the delightfully haunting 'Shannon's Cannon' could possibly win an award for b-side of the year, such is its infectiousness and sincerity. Touriste, then: coming to slay a stadium near you soon."

Touriste sign to Faith & Hope
Faith & Hope are proud to confirm that Kent based band Touriste are now officially signed to Faith and Hope. The four piece includes the vocals of Sam Harris backed by his brother Kris Harris on bass, Rob Wilkes on guitar and Michael Dove on drums.
Since signing, the guys have been busy in the studio with producer Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros, Hope of The States) at Jacobs Studios in Surrey recording their debut single, pencilled in for release later this summer. After being described as "emotional and melodic", and a "heavyweight Morning Runner" by Steve Lamaq, they have the promise to be a special addition to the already impressive Faith & Hope roster.
If you reside down South, why not check out the guys live, as they'll be playing Barfly B Sides @ The Enterprise London (Jun 1 2006 8:00pm), The Pleasue Unit, London (Jun 19 2006 10:45pm), Flook @ Nambucca London (Jul 1 2006 8:00pm).
The band are amazing live, and we suggest you take advantage of these smaller gigs before this little gem turns into a diamond!
