The Simpletone is back with vengeance in their darkly kinetic alt-rock anthem, Circles

Posted on 4 October 2024
The Simpletone

After amassing renown for the intensity of their live performances following their 2010 inception, releasing three critically acclaimed LPs, gaining a cult following, winning the Cambridge Band Competition, joining New Model Army on tour and being revered by Classic Rock Magazine, The Simpletone broke their fair share of hearts when they split in 2017.

After a six-year hiatus, The Simpletone sound is sharper than ever; their comeback track, Circles, which teases what’s to come in their upcoming fourth LP, The Eternal Now, dares you to imagine the veins of blues rock running through a sonic love child conceived between Sisters of Mercy and Queens of the Stone Age.

The shadowy rock licks bring the arcane atmosphere as the rhythm section intravenously injects kinetic energy into the anthem, which proves that The Simpletone weren’t down and out in 2017; they were priming for one of the most scintillating artistic reinventions the UK alt-rock scene has seen in the past decade.

Circles will be available to stream on all major platforms from October 4th. Hear the single on YouTube and follow The Simpletone on Instagram and Facebook to stay up to date with all future releases.

So Long: Ethan Russell needs to get the frustration out before he explodes on Circles

Posted on 12 March 2023

Falling into sneaky traps due to this tempestuous stream of life inside a seemingly wicked maze of treacherous tricks, Ethan Russell attempts to venture away from the deep end of his mind via the new single to reflect wholeheartedly with, Circles.

Ethan Russell (born Antalosky) is a small-town Pennsylvania indie pop singer-songwriter and music producer who grew up listening to quality sounds thanks to his parents.

“I remember lip-syncing the entire Red Hot Chili Peppers’ – By The Way live show in my living room literally every day as a kid,” Antalosky says.

Showing us what it feels like to be lost inside a former love, Ethan Russell displays such maturity in this deftly projected underground illusion which is sealed with brilliance. Ethan has brought back a striking memory for many, who have felt the wrath of cruel luck romantically.

Circles from Pennsylvania-born indie pop singer-songwriter Ethan Russell is an incredible soundtrack for anyone who feels like things are at their worst right now. Sung with calm precision and with so much meaning simmering out of all speakers, elevating our minds away from the sadness and into a new mission to change the mood of millions.

When the mind is twisted, everything is flipped upside down.

Listen up on Spotify.
