Alternative Rock from Lia Rye

Lia Rye is a rising star in the UK music scene at just 19 years old, channelling the spirit of alternative rock with her powerful vocals and gripping riffs. Hailing from London but now based in Leeds, she takes cues from artists such as YONAKA, Bring Me The Horizon and Royal Blood, crafting her own unique sound via meaningful lyricism and electrifying instrumentation.

Since bursting onto the scene at the age of fifteen with her debut single “Novacaine,” Lia Rye has been on a journey of musical exploration and growth. Her time at the prestigious BRIT School further developed her talents, resulting in the release of her sophomore outing “Habits” and subsequent single “One Track Way,” all leading up to her first EP FEVER DREAM in 2022.

Now accompanied by a talented band consisting of drummer Sam Mortimer, bass player Griff Garland and guitarist Ben Robinson, Lia Rye has been making an impact on the Leeds live music circuit, delivering magnetic performances at venues such as Stylus, Hyde Park Book Club, Lending Room and Northern Guitars.

Returning earlier this year with new material, she shared the single “Bad Dream” which she now follows up with her latest release, the brand new track titled “All of the Time.” This new single revolves around the complex emotions of frustration, liberation and uncertainty that accompany the journey into adulthood. With a poignant message, Rye addresses the societal judgment faced by young people for their decisions, highlighting the desire for freedom and the conflict between “wasting time” and missing out on their “prime.”

Brought in by the delicate twang of guitar tones as the rattle of cymbal adds tension to the atmosphere, Lia’s commanding vocals enter to thread bright melodic leads. With the crunch of distorted guitar tones and rolling patter of drums, the energy builds up before launching into an epic explosion of anthemic alternative rock led by powerful vocal lines and driving instrumentation.

Flowing with slick ebb and flow, the intensity rises and falls throughout the track to deliver a raucous slice of energising and catchy rock music. With another display of Lia’s superb songwriting brought to life via stunning vocal performance and rousing instrumental work, “All of the Time” sees Lia Rye and her band continue to go from strength to strength on the next chapter of their thrilling musical adventure.
