Sheppard Announce Debut Album "Bombs Away"

With the highest selling Australian single for 2014 so far and clocking up week seven at #1 (and counting) on the Australian radio airplay charts, Sheppard's debut album Bombs Away has been announced for July 11 with pre-orders available from today.

Their smash hit ‘Geronimo’ spent three weeks at #1 on the Aria Charts, breaking the record for a run at #1 from an independently distributed Australian artist, with their success resulting in their signing to Decca Records for the world outside of Australia and a special invitation to join Keithe Urban on his "Light the Fuse" tour where the band will play to over 70,000 people throughout June.

The album Bombs Away will deliver eleven slices of the band's trademark sound including the near triple platinum "Geronimo" and last year's breakthrough aria nominated hit "Let Me Down Easy" which is about to tip over double platinum in its own right.

Sheppard emerged from Brisbane in 2012 and features siblings George, Amy and Emma Sheppard along with friends Jay Bovino, Michael Butler and Dean Gordon. Striking a rare chemistry, the band has been lauded across the world for their ability to combine rock and pop into finely crafted gems that have seen them tour to the US, Europe, UK and South East Asia.

The album hits stores on July 11 and preorders are available now via the Sheppard store or itunes. You can catch Sheppard live on
