Video Premiere: Gathering of Strangers - 'Red and Gold'
Combining pop pomp and swaggering indie rock sensibility, one of the UK’s most hotly anticipated bands, Gathering of Strangers are back with their latest single ‘Red and Gold’.
Having turned heads since their inception, selling out shows up and down the country, and appearing at such prestigious venues as Manchester’s O2 Ritz and London’s Shepherds Bush Empire, five-piece Gathering of Strangers have been a fixture of the UK’s live scene for a number of years, whilst a smattering of post-pandemic singles under their belt in the forms of ‘Cherry Red’, ‘Naked and Blind’ and ‘Antidote’, the latter of which receiving air-play on BBC Radio 6 Music, Kerrang Radio and XS Manchester. the band’s new single ‘Red and Gold’ has done much the same.
Three minutes of hugely anthemic indie rock, it’s a rousing return for the five-piece. Described by the band as being about “having the time of your life with your lover or your family. Simply dancing from sunset to sunrise all night long”, that sense of sheer elation is palpable across the track’s runtime.
