Tough Cookie announces new EP Devotion
London-based group Tough Cookie is gearing up to release their highly anticipated new EP, Devotion, on October 23rd. This upcoming release follows a compelling start to their journey, marked by their 2025 debut project, ‘The Countryside Is Good For You.
Tough Cookie’s creative path has been fueled by a deep immersion in classic literature and musical inspiration. The band’s artistic direction was significantly shaped during their recent travels, where frontman and lyricist August embarked on a unique adventure.
While on the road, August took Patti Smith’s iconic book Devotion with him, transforming the experience into a rich source of new material for the band. This literary journey didn’t just provide themes; it infused their music with a profound depth and lyrical sensibility.
The experience of touring and absorbing the themes of Devotion proved to be a pivotal moment, directly influencing the sound and message of their upcoming EP. It’s a testament to how the world around them can inspire the next great chapter in a band’s story.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Devotion, anticipating a collection that promises to be both familiar and refreshingly new. Mark your calendars for October 23rd, as Tough Cookie delivers this new work, building on the foundation laid by their earlier project.
