Bristol duo Getdown Services release their second album Massive Champion today via Breakfast Records, following critically acclaimed singles including 'Cha Cha Slide' (BBC 6 Music playlist). The 13-track record, written and recorded between their UK and US tours earlier this year, explores childhood memories, British cultural ephemera and everyday absurdism while pushing deeper into the anarchic sound that has made them one of the UK's most talked-about bands.

**Today, Bristol’s Getdown Services release their hugely anticipated, critically acclaimed second album, *****Massive Champion*****, via Breakfast Records. **

An odyssey of anarchic joy, seditious wit and boundless energy, *Massive Champion *finds childhood best friends Josh Law and Ben Sadler pushing deeper into the singular world they have built over the last five years, while opening up new emotional and lyrical ground. Written and recorded at the beginning of the year, in a brief gap between headline UK and US tours, *Massive Champion* is an ode to childhood, British cultural detritus and the absurd poetry of everyday life, distilling everything that has made Getdown Services one of the UK’s most exhilarating, unpredictable and loved bands.

Released ahead of the album, recent single ‘Cha Cha Slide’ has become another defining Getdown Services anthem, earning a place on the BBC 6 Music playlist alongside a wave of rave reviews. Today, they reveal the **[live session video of ‘Lentils’](https://deathproof.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b075832a252dd785e2fbb4e2f&id=51c815cb0f&e=d98b684971)**, one of *Massive Champion*’s many highlights (there are 13 of them). The release arrives as the band’s extraordinary rise continues at breakneck speed. Following triumphant performances at Harry Styles’ Meltdown, **[Later… With Jools Holland](https://deathproof.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b075832a252dd785e2fbb4e2f&id=7be1343fd8&e=d98b684971)**, sold-out headline tours across the UK, Europe, US and Australia, demand for their biggest headline tour to date has been phenomenal. 86% of the November and December tour is already sold out.

Speaking about the album release, Getdown Services say: *"We’re really excited to see what people make of this album. It’s different this time round because people are actually paying attention to what we do but we’re proud of how little that came into the making of the album though. It’s a solid bit of work and we’ve done a good job of trying to make something honest. Do us a favour and listen to it in full."*  
  
With momentum continuing to build at a remarkable pace, Getdown Services are rapidly becoming far more than one of the UK’s most talked-about new bands.  As *The Guardian* put it, their chaotic, high-octane take on modern British life sits somewhere between rave, satire and social commentary - and it is winning them legions of fans all over the world.
