Names - 'The Blue'
Due to headline the Sebright Arms this week - Names release their high energy indie track ‘The Blue’.
Atmospheric and made for big venues - this euphoric track ticks al the boxes for a perfect indie track. Introducing their energetic and relentless brand of fast paced, heartfelt indie-rock. The first of three releases scheduled for this year, The Blue is a song that sees vocalist Ike beg the listener to "let me dream with you", a sentiment which encapsulates what Names are all about.
Trio Names comprises of three school-friends who write, produce and mix everything themselves from their south London base. 2022 saw them release their first music, which culminated in a sold out debut headline show at the famous Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. Their first release of 2023, 'The Blue', which comes out on 08/10/23 is a high energy indie-rock riot, which sees singer Ike imploring the listener to "let me dream with you", a sentiment that encapsulates what this band is all about; escaping somewhere, the radio up loud, driving toward tomorrow. 'The Blue' is released a week before they headline The Sebright Arms in Hackney on the 20/10/23.
