23 FEBRUARY 2018 (Toronto, ON) - Island Records/Universal Music Canada artist Bishop Briggs, who has amassed over 316 million global streams and soared to #3 on the Alternative chart with her massive RIAA-certified gold single “River” – today releases her brand new single “White Flag”, from her highly anticipated debut album entitled Church of Scars, scheduled to be released on April 20. See full album tracklist below.

About the song, Bishop Briggs said: “White Flag is about pushing till there is sweat stinging your eyes, blood under your nails and never giving up, no matter what the circumstances are.”

Affirming her exploding fan base, Bishop Briggs will embark on a headlining North American tour this spring opening on April 27, at Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. The month-long tour of the U.S. and Canada will wrap up June 2 at Metro in Chicago. For info on tickets and unique, limited VIP Tour Experiences, go to bishopbriggs.com/tour.

Bishop can also be heard these days on her cover version of the INXS classic, “Never Tear Us Apart”, the latest song to be released from the Fifty Shades Freed Official Soundtrack. She joins the soundtrack roster that includes Julia Michaels, Hailee Steinfeld x BloodPop®, Liam Payne & Rita Ora, Ellie Goulding, Sia, Dua Lipa, Jessie J, and others.

As the global MTV Push: Artist to Watch for January, Bishop Briggs was prominently featured in interviews as well as live performances of “River”, “Wild Horses”, “Dream” (her most recent single), and “Never Tear Us Apart”. “River” and “Wild Horses” were featured on last year’s 6-track Bishop Briggs EP.

About Bishop Briggs:

Born in London to Scottish parents, Bishop Briggs grew up in Japan and Hong Kong. Days after graduating high school, she moved to Los Angeles where, after years of performing at any venue that would have her, she was discovered in a small hole-in-the-wall by a former-A&R rep and the rest was history. The music of Bishop Briggs transcends the limitations of singular genres, blending folk, pop and electronic music into a wholly unique sound. Her debut track “Wild Horses” reached #1 on Spotify’s Canadian Viral Chart and #2 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 charts, with airplay on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation, Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Show and a prized spot in Acura’s 2016 TLX and ESPN’s NFL Playoffs ads. She followed up with gold certified single, “River,” a searing and cathartic track that has captured the attention of tastemakers and gatekeepers and rose to #3 on the Alternative chart with over 40 million global streams. Bishop has performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (watch that performance HERE), Late Night With Seth Meyers (watch that performance HERE), Conan, and Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! (watch that performance HERE). The critically acclaimed self-titled Bishop Briggs EP, her sold out debut headlining tour, and live performance slots opening for Coldplay, Kaleo, alt-J, and Bleachers triggered the emergence of Bishop Briggs in 2017. In 2018, the release of “White Flag” and her debut album, underscored by her next headlining tour, proclaim the arrival of Bishop Briggs as one of 2018’s most important breakout artists.
