S.C.U.M is releasing their new single 'Amber Hands' on July 18th 2011, their first single from their forthcoming debut album which will be released in September.

S.C.U.M formed 2 years ago and were quickly signed to Loog Records, with the line-up Thomas Cohen (vocals), Bradley Baker (machines), Samuel Kilcoyne (keyboards), Joseph Williams (bass) and Ruaridh Connellan (drums), although the latter two have left the band and have been replaced with Huw Webb and Melissa Rigby respectively.
