Toby Sebastian Returns With Down The Westside

Toby Sebastian has released his brand new single Down The Westside ahead of kicking off his headline tour across the UK & Europe later this month. The new single from the highly acclaimed British musician and actor is a powerful indie rock track which boasts a soulful blues-laced rock ‘n’ roll swagger made for striding down the Sunset Strip, paired with an inescapable chorus of infectious “oooos” to soundtrack the night as it really gets loose.

Ahead of its global release players of the multi-million user mobile music game Beatstar have had their chance to tap their way through the riffs and rhythms of Down The Westside exclusively in app this week. The song is now available worldwide on all streaming platforms here, check it out below:

On the single Sebastian says, “Down The Westside is one of those songs that came out of nowhere. When Matty Benbrook (producer and cowriter) and I sat down to have a jam with Donny Little, co-writer of Paolo Nutini’s first album and my current guitarist, we exchanged ideas as the song unfolded. It felt so in tune with the rock artists that I grew up listening to – elements of the likes of Bowie, Marc Bolan, and the Arctic Monkeys.

“The song is unlike anything I’ve ever written before. Exploring this new sound was a refreshing departure from my usual style and a chance to embrace a different tone. Down The Westside to me is a testament to the power of spontaneous collaboration. I feel the song has an energy that is impossible to resist.”

Down The Westside is a taste of Toby’s forthcoming album due for release later this year. Fans can expect to hear the brand new single and more from his highly anticipated record live during his upcoming headline tour. The tour will start with 10 dates in the UK, kicking off in Cardiff at Clwb Ifor Bach on 20th Marc, wrapping up at London’s Bush Hall on 11th April. He will then play three dates throughout the Netherlands as well as a show in Berlin on 20th April.

Toby Sebastian (born Sebastian Toby M. Pugh) launched himself into the public eye in 2012, beginning his career as an actor which has seen him play roles such as Trystane Martell in Game Of Thrones, portraying Andrea Bocelli in the biopic The Music Of Silence, Rudy in Coffee Wars alongside Kate Nash and Sally Phillips, while he has also played Johnny in ALL YOU NEED IS ME which also featured Carl Barat, Pete Wentz, Elvis Costello, James Cordon and George Michael.

He self-released his debut album Into The Light in 2013 and following its release his acting career skyrocketed. Toby released new music in 2019 which presented a revitalised sound and instantly resonated with fans leading his string of singles achieving multi-million streams. In 2021 Sebastian teamed up with his sister, Academy Award-nominated film star Florence Pugh, for the single Midnight and this once again proved a tearaway streaming hit. In 2023 the pair released the video which was met with great critical praise. Check out the video from the siblings below:

Sebastian has also been making an impressive mark live in recent years, since 2022 he has sold out London venues including Islington Academy and Omeara and in 2023 he embarked on his first headline tour across the UK. 2024 is set for the release of his new album and marks the year the remarkable multi-talent cements his name across music, film and more.

Wyatt Flores Brings Honest Heart And Sharp Style To London’s Roundhouse

On a crisp October night at London’s Roundhouse, Wyatt Flores stepped onto the stage to a roaring crowd, his name echoing around the vaulted room with a force that surprised even him. Supporting 49 Winchester on their UK run, the Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter might technically have been the opener, but from the reaction that greeted him, it was clear many had come just as much for Wyatt.
