Pentire - 'Being Underwater'
Rising Herefordshire based indie band Pentire have just released 'Being Underwater' - which is taken from their new EP 'Love on TV'. The track explores small-town youth, the energy of the mosh pit, and the thrill of experiencing life to the fullest.
Brought up on a mix of The Killers, Paolo Nutini and Stereophonics, frontman Jack Morgan met his bandmates in the quiet town of Ross-on-Wye. Having lived their school lives with a burning intention to break out and play shows, Pentire have grown from making a racket in their mum’s shed to selling out venues across the country.
Speaking of the upcoming EP, Jack says, “The creation of this EP has seen both love and loss, and so it naturally has a little piece of each of us woven between the lyrics and melodies. It represents the last 15 months of our lives, on the road and in the studio, and we couldn’t be more happy with it.” Continuing to talk about the EP’s upcoming focus track, he continues, "'Being Underwater' is about moving out to the city and finding life beyond your hometown. Growing up and succumbing to real life can feel isolating and often as if you’ve been ‘underwater’ all these years. This song was written during a visit back to my family home, in a break from the new-found city life".
The four-piece have begun to take the UK by storm, supporting breakout acts like milk. and LARKINS, whilst pulling off their own sold-out headline shows. With shoutouts from tastemakers like Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1, Steve Lamacq on BBC 6Music, and John Kennedy on Radio X, Pentire have cemented their spot as one of the most promising indie bands of their generation.
