Definitely, Maybe The Night Of Our Lives – Sunday At Reading Festival 2024

After two days of great music, the last day had a lot to live up to. I started the day at the BBC Introducing Stage to mix things up. Daydreamers took to the stage with their youthful pop to a surprisingly large crowd. The light-hearted songs were very reminiscent of The 1975, with the charismatic frontman, powerful drums and bass lines, and the 80s-style guitar accompaniment. There was a good mixture of songs some of the crowd knew, and their new single which despite having a slower beat, was very well received. It is clear that this band are headed for good things as they were naturals on the stage and the crowd loved every second.

The Darkness Tease ‘Dreams On Toast’ With ‘Rock And Roll Party Cowboy’ Ahead Of UK Tour

The Darkness have released their brand new single Rock And Roll Party Cowboy, the opening track of their forthcoming album Dreams On Toast out March 28th via Cooking Vinyl. The Darkness go hell for leather on the new single, channelling the sounds of hard rock legends such as ZZ Top, Motörhead and Judas Priest with searing solos, hell-raising vocals and a fist-pumping rhythm section to create a tongue-in-cheek reflection on the hedonistic, macho music scene of the ‘70s and ‘80s.
