a familiar face on the North West scene, they’ve been making waves for a good few years now, having put out a bunch of incredible tunes, and performing all across the region and selling out shows on the regular in their Preston hometown ๐ŸŽถ

this new track sounds fantastic, blending their earlier indie-rock roots with more metal-infused, heavier elements that really paves the way for their anthemic, driving brand of alternative rock – with expert lyricism, they’re able to paint a picture with their lyrics, matched with instrumentation that compliments the wordcraft fantastically, the track ebbs and flows and truly feels like a journey with the band. it’s a brilliant listen! ๐Ÿ‘Š

we’ve covered their music a few times in the past, and we’re huge fans of their upbeat, down-to-earth folky sound, and this new single is no different – with a real gritty texture from the get-go, it’s got relatable, grounded lyricism, and you can hear the musicianship within the band, how well they gel together and that they’re truly creating something unique to themselves. this track has a real catchy hook, a proper singalong anthem – it’s a great listen and another lovely tune under their belts! ๐Ÿ™Œ
