Only The Poets, having built a reputation as of the most exciting and fastest-growing artists in Europe, look to build on their massive successes of 2022. Based in Reading, UK, Only The Poets are Tommy (Song Writer/Vocals), Clem (Guitar), Andy (Bass) and Marcus (Drums). Garnering millions of streams across the globe via a catalogue of demos and receiving 8,000+ CD pre-orders for the band's most recent self-released 'Our Time' EP, the band's trajectory sees fans describe a sense of family, belonging and escapism to their music and live shows.
While The Cure and 90s British indie might have had a more direct influence on that sound, growing up in Reading and nearby Banbury, the Reading Festival also loomed over the band members' late-teens, dropping an annual hint that a "small town existence" wasn't the only option thanks to music.
"They're very autobiographical songs. I have a lot to say about a lot of stuff because I tend to wear my heart right there on the end of my sleeve. Sonically though, we soon found a way to deliver that sentiment in a manner that feels hopeful. We're just four lads who love music, so we just wanted people to be able to escape and enjoy the beauty of music with us."
