London Grammar Releases Debut METAL & DUST EP Today

London Grammar is Hannah Reid, Dot Major and Dan Rothman, who formed the band while attending university together. After spending most of 2012 in the studio working on their debut album, London Grammar revealed their first single, "Hey Now," on their Soundcloud in December. "Hey Now" has hit almost 370,000 plays to date, while total Soundcloud plays are now over 1.5 million.

The Metal & Dust EP will come out in America today, June 25th via Columbia Records. The EP will include their latest UK single "Wasting My Young Years" as well as "Hey Now," "Metal & Dust" and a Dot Major remix of "Hey Now." "Wasting My Young Years" is an emotional and passionate track featuring an intricate piano hook and haunting vocals that lead into a beautiful and powerful chorus backed by escalating drums and guitars. The"Wasting My Young Years" official music video, directed by BISON, can be viewed HERE, and you can see a gorgeous live rendition at The Guardian HERE.

The London trio will play Glastonbury and various other festivals in the UK this summer, following two sold out headline shows at London's Electrowerkz and Islington Assembly Hall. The band should be making their way to the states in the near future. London Grammar is also featured on the Disclosure album track "Help Me Lose My Mind".
