William Beckett Announces Solo EP Details

William Beckett has announced plans to release his debut solo EP in April.

The ex-The Academy Is… frontman recently unveiled plans to launch a solo career, and has now confirmed he will release the first of three planned EPs on the 17th April.

Being released through YIKE Records, ‘Walk The Talk’s tracklisting is as follows.

1. Compromising Me
2. Girl, You Shoulda Been A Drummer
3. Oh, Love!
4. You Never Give Up

Speaking of his move to YIKE Records, and away from the label home of The Academy Is…, Atlantic Records, Beckett said the following:

“After that phone call I stood in silence for 60 seconds, shocked and angry. Then a wave of clarity washed over me. I was free. Free from over thinking and second-guessing. Free from the old formula of ‘Where does this fit?’ and ‘This is what works.’ I took all of my songs and my vision and hit the ground running. I surrounded myself with a whole new team. It’s time to walk the talk. No compromise, no bullshit, no ancient rulebook.”

Beckett will be touring the US in May, and his single ‘Compromising Me’ will be available from the 20th March.

Two more EPs are scheduled for release in July and October.
