Cooking Vinyl have signed Deaf Havana to a worldwide artist services deal for their forthcoming 10th studio album, which is set for release in 2027.
The agreement follows the British rock band’s sold out October/November UK tour.
“I’ve been a fan of Deaf Havana since first seeing them at Club 85 in Hitchin back in 2008," said Cooking Vinyl's Tom Newman. "It’s been incredible to follow their journey over the years and watch the brothers evolve into the exceptional songwriters they are today. With so much renewed excitement surrounding the band, and some ambitious plans up our sleeves, I truly believe the best chapter of Deaf Havana is yet to come."
Deaf Havana have achieved three UK Top 10 albums, including their silver-certified 2011 sophomore LP Fools And Worthless Liars.
This recent anniversary tour sold over 15,000 tickets in the UK and re-lit a spark for thousands of fans as to just why this band is so special

"This recent anniversary tour sold over 15,000 tickets in the UK and re-lit a spark for thousands of fans as to just why this band is so special.
