Host: How did you first meet up with Louis Tomlinson?

Andrew: The Louis thing… we done a show called Soccer AM, and I played a song called You Don’t Belong […]. Lo and behold, Louis is a fan of the show and was watching it, I presume, back home, and I got a message off Twitter during one of the commercial breaks, kind of, “Great song, you sound real,” whatever. I kind of didn’t think nothing of it. He had a show called One Night Only at Shepherds Bush Empire in London, and he was nice enough to give me the support slot. Add a couple of drinks to the math there, and then a few more, don’t remember much else, but we ended up on an American tour after that, and then he was nice enough to take me to Europe as well.

Host: What’s he like?

Andrew: He’s amazing. I’ve got so much love and respect for that absolute genius of a man. He took me to every afterparty, introduced me to all of his crew, his band, help me out a lot, was part of the release of the album, across social media and stuff, Open Stage, and all that. He was just a true gent from the moment that I came on the tour to the moment that I came off it. He was amazing.

I don't understand the lthq announcement, could you explain it?

well as I wrote in tags it doesn’t really say what 'partnered' means but I think it makes most sense to read it as louis has put some money into the project : album release

Strap Originals is Pete Doherty’s (of the Libertines and his own solo projects of course) record label but it’s a tiny indie label and so probably doesn’t have the means financially to do a big album launch.

It’s really cool because louis has talked before about wanting to help small indie artist release music (remember the girlband?) and now he get to do that together with some true uk indie heavyweights like.. pete is indie royalty! Louis’ big brain man.. he’s gonna do big things this is only the beginning

Louis Tomlinson and Pete Doherty‘s record label have come together to release new music by emerging artist Andrew Cushin. Check out his latest track ‘Wor Flags’ below.

Both the former One Direction star and The Libertines frontman are set to support the emerging singer-songwriter with the release of his upcoming debut album, ‘Waiting For The Rain’.

Released on September 29, the LP will be made available from Doherty’s own ‘Strap Originals’ – an independent record label devoted to signing new, original artists and retaining their right to evolve and take creative control over their own work. Pre-orders are available here.

Now, following his time playing to sold-out crowds across the US as support to Louis Tomlinson on his ‘Faith In The Future’ world tour, Tomlinson has also offered to lend a supporting hand with the album release, and looks to help Cushin reach a wider audience.

Both Tomlinson and Cushin met last year after the former caught Cushin’s appearance on the Sky Sports show Soccer AM. After being impressed by his performance, he offered him a support slot in London, which then led to support shows across the US and Europe through 2023. From there, Tomlinson and Doherty bonded over their mutual admiration for the artist.

“As somebody who has been interested in up-and-coming acts, working with Andrew was a no-brainer. With his incredible voice partnered with his honesty in lyric I’m really excited to work alongside Peter and the Strap Originals team to help Andrew reach as many people as possible,” said Tomlinson, discussing his vow to support the release of ‘Waiting For The Rain’.

Additionally, speaking of the encouragement from both Doherty and Tomlinson, Cushin said: “It’s amazing to have someone as established as Louis fighting in my corner. It’s been a pleasure getting to know him on and off the stage and I’m learning a great deal from him and his team. I’m looking forward to what I know will be an enjoyable and hugely beneficial collaboration together.”

Earlier this week, Cushin released ‘Wor Flags’ – the latest single from his forthcoming album. Check it out above.

A song devoted to embracing the now and choosing to escape from everyday troubles, the track arrived on Wednesday (August 2) and is the fifth track to be shared from the LP – following ‘It’s Coming Round Again’, ‘4.5%’, ‘You’ll Be Free’ and ‘Dream For A Moment’.

Previous single, ‘It’s Coming Round Again’ arrived back in June, and featured an intimate music video, which was filmed during Cushin’s time touring across North America with Tomlinson.

Later this year, following the release of ‘Waiting For The Rain’ Cushin is also set to embark on a UK headline tour, including two nights at Newcastle’s prestigious City Hall. Tickets and a full list of tour dates can be found here.

Although he signed to Doherty’s record label back in October 2021, this was far from the first time that the 23-year-old songwriter has received backing from an indie legend. Back in 2020, the rising star also joined forces with Noel Gallagher, and the two released the track ‘Where’s My Family Gone’.

ugh I cannot stop thinking about the rumor of Andrew Cushin asking girls from the audience how old they are and inviting them backstage, the implication that 1) he is selecting girls young enough that he can't tell by looking if they're legal or not and 2) he has intentions that they need to be legal for, like I am very aware this is anything but unusual but Louis has created such a beautiful and respectful culture around his tours that it's a jarring and fucked up reminder of the shitty wider culture and I just want to know if Louis knows someone is treating his army of depraved younger sisters like this because I do not think he's gonna like it- and boy am I praying for that reckoning

“Obviously I was a massive Libertines fan growing up. It’s an honour to me. I really look up to [Doherty] as a songwriter, as a poet, as a creative in general. And I also know that he’s got Andrew’s best interests at heart, which is not something you can always say in these kinds of joint ventures.”

Didn't see on your dash, so sharing it🙂🙂

I haven’t gotten out of my inbox yet. 😅😅😅 So, thank you! That’s so cool. And very smart of Louis. I’ve only heard great things about Andrew’s music.

Given this and the AFHF (plus his mention of wanting to do artist management at some point), I think we might be getting an inkling about where Louis wants to take his career. So, so smart.

about the band thing, yes she did changed her name bc she got death threats for not exposing the person and in the end she posted a statement on twitter (i wrote with her over insta dms so i know it was defter posting it)

Oh, I see! My god that’s horrible. This fandom can be so damn hostile and toxic.

I still don’t see the point of her sharing this information. Her message remains pretty much the same “Don’t support Louis’ openers because they can be assholes.”. She’s not wrong but this only leads to suspicions about every opener at AFHF. And that’s so unfair.

Also, thanks for the warning, but people in this fandom have pretty good instincts when it comes to bands Louis gives a push. All of these openers will definitely get a moment of peak attention (whether that’s fair or not isn’t up to us) but if they’re not good enough or give odd vibes they’ll get dropped as quickly. I’m reminded of Andrew Cushin and how he learned a lesson or two with Louis’ fanbase after Red Rocks and kissing a girl in the crowd. We’re loyal to a fault, but to Louis first and we won’t let anyone use us.

In reference to this.

comments on Louis’ post 9/7/23 🥰

[hlupdate]

The Libertines’ Pete Doherty has joined forces with Louis Tomlinson to release the debut album by singer-songwriter Andrew Cushin.

Waiting For The Rain is set to be shared on September 29th through Strap Originals, a label founded by Doherty and manager Jai Stanley. Cushin, who has been signed to the company since 2021, has been supporting Tomlinson on tour throughout the summer in North America and is set to play arena shows across Europe with the former One Direction star later this year.

Through his company 78 Productions, Tomlinson, who scored a number one album last year with Faith To The Future, offered to assist Doherty with the release of Cushin’s debut to help the LP reach a wider audience. “Here at Strap Originals we always put the artist first and it’s amazing that Louis Tomilinson and 78 productions are offering their support to the uber-talented Andrew Cushin,” Doherty said.

Tomlinson, who saw Cushin for the first time on Soccer AM last year, added: “As somebody who has been interested in up and coming acts, working with Andrew was a no brainer. With his incredible voice partnered with his honesty in lyric I’m really excited to work alongside Peter and the Strap Originals team to help Andrew reach as many people as possible.”

Meanwhile, Cushin said of the collaboration: “As somebody who has been interested in up and coming acts, working with Andrew was a no brainer. With his incredible voice partnered with his honesty in lyric I’m really excited to work alongside Peter and the Strap Originals team to help Andrew reach as many people as possible.”

Doherty recently confirmed The Libertines have finished work on their next album All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade. Speaking to Far Out last year, he exclusively revealed the band planned to make new music with former Rolling Stones producer Andrew Loog Oldham in Bogota, Colombia.

Doherty stated: “We’re still chugging along, so we’ll see. We’re going to Bogota in Colombia at the end of March, and while we’re there, we are supposed to be meeting up with Andrew Loog Oldham, The Rolling Stones producer and songwriter.”
