Indie rock outfit The Burma have just released their latest single and music video ‘When You’re Gone’ via Spooner Records and premiered via Hot Press. The single is taken from their upcoming EP Sugar Moonlight, which will be available on 3 April. The Burma have landed support slots for acts such as The Academic, The Strypes and Delorentos and have performed at festivals such as Vantastival, Doolin Folk Fest and Whelans Ones to Watch. They have previously received support from Joe.ie, Jammerzine and Golden Plec. The band is looking forward to tour dates both in London, UK and nationwide in Ireland. Since the release of their first single, ‘Quicksand’, the band has gained extensive national airplay and have received over ten thousand plays across streaming platforms.
