Cola Return with "Mendicant" | Tour Runs May 28 - June 19
Cola — the trio of guitarist/vocalist Tim Darcy, bassist Ben Stidworthy, and drummer Evan J Cartwright — return with their new single/visualizer, “Mendicant.” Following the release of their “striking” (FADER) sophomore album, The Gloss, “Mendicant” sees Cola take a medieval turn. “Mendicant” is anchored by a whistle and uilleann pipes line, plus Darcy’s signature delivery. “Good god!” he exclaims at the jump, breaking into lyrics that wonder “what was that the pope just said?” and reflect on “breaking regs and breaking norms” — all from the perspective of a humble mendicant. The instrumentation that supplements Darcy’s character analysis is as reliable as ever. Woodwinds rise, guitars swell, and drums flit; Stidworthy and Cartwright’s contributions provide a kinetic launchpad for Cola’s next chapter.
“Mendicant” precedes Cola’s forthcoming European Tour, which includes stops in Italy, France and more, with various stops in between. Cola will be joined by M(h)aol and Junk Drawer on all Ireland shows, and Cola will return for a handful of North American tour dates later this summer. A full list of tour dates are below, and all tickets are on sale now.
