The Reytons - 'Let Me Breathe'
South Yorkshire indie rockers Reytons return with new single ‘Let Me Breathe’.
Indie-rock stalwarts, the four piece Reytons, aren’t ones to shy away from high-octane, explosive cuts, as evidence by their number-one sophomore record “What’s Rock And Roll”, and their latest venture, “Let Me Breathe” is no different.
Comprised of Jonny Yerrell, Joe O’Brien, Lee Holland and Jamie Todd, Reytons have had an impressive climb to music fame that has seen them go from playing small venues to headlining sites such as Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse and Sheffield’s Utilita Arena in little over a year.
Accompanied by the announcement of their upcoming third record - “Ballad Of A Bystander”, “Let Me Breathe” boasts insatiable rock-infused guitar lines, a walloping bass and a nostalgia-ridden melody that wouldn’t go amiss snuck into an Oasis record (think “Definitely Maybe”). .
With a narrative oriented around needing to be free and breaking away (“You suffocate me/ Let me breathe”), the cut sticks to the band’s tried and tested formula that shot them into stardom, and whilst not bringing anything entirely new to the table in terms of Reytons’ sound, it’s refreshing for a band to remain with what the know, and execute it to perfection.
Their third record “Ballad Of A Bystander” is set to be riproaring bakers-dozen of aspirational stadium-worthy cuts, and their most outstanding and sonically developed album yet.
With an already impressive discography to their name and their new album set for release, 2024 is due to be Reytons’ most important year yet.
