Jo Charrington, president of Capitol UK, said: “This UK Top 10 album debut is a huge moment for Only The Poets, their fans and everyone involved. They're a band driven by honesty, authenticity and a genuine connection with grassroots audiences – their success the result of great songs, years of consistent touring and clarity around who they are and what they stand for.
“It’s a shared win for the band and the community they’ve built, and it’s so brilliant to see that reflected in the UK and international chart results. I couldn't be prouder and am incredibly excited about the year ahead for them.”
