Balter - 'Someone New'

Northampton band Balter bring a new level of excitement to the jangle-pop genre with recent single 'Someone New'.

Consisting of Tom Drury (vocals/guitar), Jake Lewis (guitar), Liam Kay (bass) and Jack Cox (drums), the band have only just sat their GCSEs, which is surprising as they bring a level of maturity to their sound. Anyone who has caught the band at one of their early, buzzy, packed-out shows. Still yet to release any music into the world, the band have been quietly bubbling away in the studio with producer, Jonathan Hucks (Hallan, Dream Nails), with the release of their debut single ‘Someone New’, due in February 2025.

Talking about the single, frontman, Tom explains… “This is about the aftermath of a relationship and the overwhelming feelings of loneliness and regret. I wrote this song after a particularly painful break up and it’s based around the idea of wanting to change myself in order to be better for them. I wanted to be the ‘someone new’ rather than her finding that in someone else.
