Following on from the recent success of their debut album ‘The Sun Also Rises’ (V2 Records, May 2023) The Utopiates are out to prove they are one of the most prolific new bands out there at the minute. Having spent 2024/25 writing, recording and mixing 12 brand new tracks at The Nave in Leeds (Yard Act, Kaiser Chiefs) the second album is complete and ready for release in March 2026 around a string of headline shows from now until then (check them out).
