Emerging from the South West indie scene, Haytor’s infectious indie pop has seen a range of tastemaker attention, putting them on stages from Bristol to London, from Boardmasters to Lake Fest. The four-piece sharpens an 80s influence for The 1975-style glitter within a guitar-driven sound.
The momentum continues into the new single ‘Be Somebody’, marking another confident step forward. Full volume is required here, as sing-along infectiousness blasts out the speakers, evoking the indie-rock buoyance with sparkling pop sensibility.
Urgent delivery and soaring anthemic flair are bright, hook-heavy and emotive. It’s a cliché to call a song a banger, but this really fits the bill.
Frontman Austin Robison adds, “Be Somebody is a big, anthemic shout for anyone who’s tired of pretending they’ve got it all figured out. It’s about chasing the wrong dreams, second-guessing yourself, and getting lost trying to keep up — but also about letting go, starting fresh, and making your own rules. Built for full-volume singalongs, it’s a feel-good anthem for finding your own way, even if you have absolutely no idea where you’re going.”
