Tom Lumley & The Brave Liaison - Better Than This
Without a doubt one of the most explosive up-and-coming bands, Tom Lumley & The Brave Liaison have been powering to great heights since they first blasted onto the scene in 2017.
Comprising of Tom Lumley, Jake Day, Billy Stewart and Jonny Thompson, the Cambridge band have supported some of the UK’s hottest acts around, including The Hunna, The Sherlocks, Coasts and Airways, and played on some of the biggest stages in the UK.
Going into 2020 with unquestionable momentum and immense support from fans and critics alike, the band were named as one of Huw Stephens’ ‘Ones To Watch in 2020’, and have been showcasing plenty of evidence to support their case since.
Following the success of their outstanding debut EP Sign Of The Times in April, the band released their new single Better Than This on Friday 6 November.
Commenting on the new single the band said:
Better Than This is an anthem for a generation unheard and uncatered for by the organisations of power, not only in the U.K. but around the world. A soundtrack to the current movement of youth who are tired of being ignored, patronised and used as a scapegoat. This song is a powerful declaration that we’ll no longer be ignored and refused a seat at the table which decides our futures.
Better Than This is an indie rock tune, it’s energetic, catchy as hell and thunders along delivering two and a half minutes of energy and a stop you in your tracks anthem !
Those minutes are packed full of blistering guitars, frenetic drumming and an angst vocal speaking up for today’s youth in a world of political unrest.
That message of the youth is best delivered when Tom sings “it’s life they say when we breakdown, we reach out for help and they let us drown, now we’re pulling up the roots of this old town, building it anew with a new sound, they must have known we want better than this, we’ll take what we what’s ours cos we’re taking the risk, it’s only fools that think they’re stopping it, it’s only fools that think they’re stopping this”.
Better Than This is a track that builds from their previous releases and is all part of laying the foundations that will allow Tom Lumley & The Brave Liaison to rocket to stardom once they can tour their brilliant songs.
They hooked me as a fan with their EP earlier in the year and I can’t give them enough platitudes for the songs that they are releasing, get on board now and tell people further down the road that you were there at the beginning!
