Sam Fender announced as ambassador for Record Store Day 2025 #RSD25!

Sam will be releasing a special limited-edition 6 track EP to mark the occasion, ‘Me and the Dog’, which will be available exclusively over the counter at indie record shops on Saturday 12th April 2025.

“It’s a complete honour to be asked to be the Ambassador for Record Store Day 2025. The importance of indie stores cannot be understated. Without them, we lose physical spaces for music fans to discover both their favourite new artists and to forge friendships with likeminded people.

This year is an exciting one for me and the band with the release of our new album, People Watching. We were so privileged to be able to work with the family of legendary North East photographer Tish Murtha and use her photography across the album’s artwork for all formats.

The EP we’re releasing for Record Store Day is called “Me And The Dog EP”, which at one point was going to be the name of the new album, so it just feels right that it should have its own moment. We’ve included two songs that haven’t been released - I’m Always On Stage and Empty Spaces.

Thanks so much to all the independent stores around the world who support us. Let’s all make sure we support them too.”

‘Me and the Dog’ will feature fan favourites, as well as two brand new tracks! Find out more about the release, including the full track list now!
