Deacon Blue - Turn up your radio!. Deacon Blue released the new single ‘Turn Up Your Radio!’ on, 26 February 2025. The track is taken from the forthcoming studio album – their tenth – entitled The Great Western Road, which features 12 new songs and will be available on 21 March 2025 through Cooking Vinyl. Additionally, to herald the album’s arrival, a limited run of five theatre shows will be held in late March / April 2025, followed by 15 arena shows across the UK and Ireland [all dates follow]. The Great Western Road arrives on a momentous anniversary, it is 40 years since songwriter and frontman Ricky Ross and drummer Dougie Vipond created the group’s first incarnation. Longtime fans and recent devotees alike will immediately fall for the album’s trademark combination of rock and pop, by turns rousing and poignant, with their inimitable soul and gospel seasoning. The vibrant first single ‘Late ’88’ was hailed as ‘Record of the Week’ and added to the A-list by BBC Radio 2. Ricky Ross said of the inspiration behind the new song, “‘Turn Up Your Radio!’ was a complete vibe impulse. I heard a mad club mash-up on the car radio one day and I came home inspired to make something as brash that involved a similar massive sound. I went straight into my home studio and started to pile sounds on a simple ‘4 on the floor’ track. The lyrics were all suggested by the sound that was emerging…and it seemed everyone loved going with the vibe. The key change came later on when we cut it for real.”
