News | The Bluetones Set To Return with New EP: A Bold Leap Into the Future
Posted by VMan on August 20, 2024
Kicking things off with a bang, The Bluetones are set to release their new EP, which will include the fiery lead single “Drive Thru.” This track is nothing short of a declaration—it’s about moving forward, leaving the past behind, and embracing whatever comes next. Morriss, the frontman, captures this perfectly when he says, “It’s about not being tied down by other people’s perceptions of you and just going for it. Plus, it rocks.”
Since forming in 1993, they’ve been a staple in the UK indie rock scene, weathering the Britpop era with a lineup that hasn’t wavered. From their thirteen Top 40 singles to three Top 10 albums, they’ve consistently delivered. Their journey hasn’t been without its challenges, but it’s clear that they’ve used each twist and turn to fuel their creativity.
Now, with their own label, Brainhole Records, The Bluetones are preparing to write the next chapter of their legacy. The upcoming EP, and the accompanying single, will soon showcase their latest evolution. A UK/Irish tour is already in the works, where they’ll blend the new with the old, ensuring that their enduring influence is felt both on and off the stage. This is just the beginning—more is on the way, and it’s going to be awesome.
