Armed with their sixth album, Irwin Sparkes \u0026amp; Alan Sharland pick up where they left off; honing a more adult take on the jubilant sound that made a name for them back in 2007. Reflections between the duo probed the question of why even bother to make an album - at considerable cost - in an age with scant regard for the form? \u003ci\u003e“The conversation that had been picked-up with fans following \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eConfidence had taken on a momentum of its own and we were compelled not to lose something \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eso valuable”\u003c\/i\u003e, says Irwin. With Confidence, Al \u0026amp; Irwin wished to imbue the listener with this new- found sense of self-belief in what they do and who they are. This time the question of how to focus the album was handled in a novel way: \u003ci\u003e“Releasing an album into the world is like releasing \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eyour intentions so we wanted to approach it as if we had a genie offering us one wish”\u003c\/i\u003e, says Al Sharland. “\u003ci\u003eOn a personal and political level, it’s apparent that we could all do with more \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ecompassion.”\u003c\/i\u003eThe way we talk to ourselves influencing how we talk to each other and thereby creating the world in which we live; this tied together the songs already written (‘Everybody Is A Little More Broken Than They Pretend To Be’, and ‘Don’t Hang Your Head’) with those that would be written with the concept of compassion in mind (‘Permission To Rest’). Perhaps where compassion is needed the most is when it comes to people who don’t share our values and this is what the title track ‘Compassion’ is grappling with. \u003ci\u003e“We love playing in this band more than ever and we feel so \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eloved by the fans we have and this album is a big, stanky hug back to them”\u003c\/i\u003e, clarifies Irwin. \u003ci\u003e“We \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003edon’t just want to leave the world with better music than when we found it”\u003c\/i\u003e, winks Al, \u003ci\u003e“we want to \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eleave it a more confident, compassionate spinning orb.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eCompassion is out 15th May, available in all good book stores and car boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLISTEN TO ‘LONELY TOGETHER’ \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHERE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rockabuy Records","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl + Ticket","offer_id":56725692580213,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl + 2 x Tickets","offer_id":56725692612981,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl Only","offer_id":56725692547445,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/5478\/0437\/files\/FullSizeRender_cd9f103e-9861-4681-b770-ce5a69380c54.jpg?v=1778249958"},{"product_id":"the-clause-rockabuy-records-exclusive-limited-scratch-edition-vinyl","title":"The Clause -  Live From VADA Studios - Rockabuy Records Exclusive Limited Scratch Edition - VINYL","description":"\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e The Clause are back, stripped back and live from VADA studios following their number one debut album ‘Victim Of A Casual Thing’ \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis offers the boys at their rawest, alone in the studio giving the most authentic sound of The Clause. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eContinuing in partnership with The Clause, Rockabuy Records is proud to announce a limited edition, numbered, scratch edition of the record, released on a stunning 10” White Vinyl. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTo see your number, simply scratch the pad, or keep it hidden forever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThese are limited to 100 copies, and 100 copies only never to be released again. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUp The Clause!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRelease date - May 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rockabuy Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56904733196661,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/5478\/0437\/files\/7277A8B1-DF6F-4D79-A6AD-B368F9167CB3.jpg?v=1773647094"},{"product_id":"the-hoosiers-compassion-exclusive-rockabuy-edition-ticket-for-in-store-show-vinyl-copy","title":"The Meffs - Business - Vinyl\/Ticket Bundle - Exclusive Rockabuy Scratch Edition Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLive instore Show - Wednesday 16th September - Matinee \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExclusive Rockabuy Records Scratch Edition Vinyl - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exclusive Vinyl comes with a Numbered Obi Strip, numbered out of 75, where you’ll have to scratch away to reveal your number.
