Shanghai Treason Release “Hero’s Welcome” From Upcoming Debut Album

Hero’s Welcome tells the true story of one of the Shanghai Treason‘s great grandfathers; who escaped a P.O.W camp in WW2, the track is taken from the band’s upcoming self titled debut album that is due to be released in January 2022. Shanghai Treason will also be embarking on a 16 date UK tour supporting Celtic Punk legends The Rumjacks in January & February 2022

“It’s kind of an unbelievable story. One I felt deserved to be immortalised in song, it already felt like the kind of tall tale that would be well suited for presentation in a more traditionally Folk storytelling fashion. We had been playing around with the track for a year or so before I heard our guitarist ‘Tom Jackson’ singing the lyrics that I’d written one rehearsal, it’s was a kinda lightbulb moment really where it felt like it should be TJ who sings the track, everything seemed to click together from there, he’s got a great voice and will no doubt be singing more tracks in the future, it’s another string to our bow” (singer Sam Christie)
