GBS’ new album, Fortune’s Favour, was released in June on Warner Brothers Canada / Red Eye USA.
The disc sees the band “boldly embracing new sounds and new ideas, fearlessly pushing boundaries of their own art and music.”
“Walk on the Moon,” the first single released in Canada from the CD has already hit the airwaves, with “Love Me Tonight” and “Here and Now” slated for U.S. release.
