Hailing from Stockport in the North of England, The Rolling People have swiftly risen as a notable act in the UK indie music scene. Despite their young age, this group has already made a significant impact, dazzling audiences with their compelling sound and infectious live performance presence and entertaining listeners around the world while climbing charts and racking up hundreds of thousands of spins of their music online.
Taking cues from iconic bands like The Verve, Fontaines DC and Foo Fighters, The Rolling People made their studio debut in 2022 with the double single “The World Is Mine,” quickly followed by “Better Man” last year, which soared to the top of the iTunes Rock Chart and secured a spot on the iTunes Official Chart. Their live performances have further contributed to their impressive output with sold-out shows across the UK, including gigs at Manchester Academy 3 and other major cities.
Following signing a deal with Manchester’s LAB Records label and dropping their recent single “I’ll Be There” in February, they bring us their latest release with the new single titled “Before It’s Gone.” Capturing perhaps their most spectacular sound to date, their new single shows just why all the hype around this thrilling band is so justified.
The title track from the band’s upcoming EP, “Before It’s Gone” delivers an invigorating indie rock anthem brimming with lofty melodic hooks, rousing guitar-driven instrumentation and pounding drums to form a truly sensational listening experience from start to finish. From the fuzzy twang of the opening guitar chords, the rich timbre of singer Charlie McNichol’s threads engaging melodies as the full band sound swells around his voice to lift the energy with punchy drums and a wall of hazy guitar tones.
Launching into an epic chorus of soaring vocal leads and enveloping rock backing, smooth vocalisations give way to electrifying guitar leads before setting up an incredible finale of powerful and emotionally-charged sound. It’s yet another impeccable display of their stellar songwriting talent and their knack for bringing their sound to life with pure musical flair.
With their forthcoming EP on the horizon and having just played live with award-winning indie outfit The K’s, their highly anticipated headline show at the O2 Ritz Manchester in December and shows with Luka State and Andrew Cushin all ensure that this year will see The Rolling People continue to stake their claim as one of the most exciting bands to come out of the UK in recent years.
Commenting on their new single, frontman Charlie McNichol shares, “We wrote Before It’s Gone as a continuation of our new chapter as a band, exploring a richer sound. I wanted to write a song that had a massive lifting chorus with a more ballady, but still driving and heavy with the feeling we are on a journey to grab our chance before it disappears. It’s us exploring the idea of living your own life and doing everything you can to reach your ambitions.”
