Based in Leicestershire in the UK, The Harbours are an indie pop duo that’s quickly made an impact as an exciting new act in the music scene. Formed by Will, who handles lead guitar, backing vocals, drums and bass and Ollie, who takes on lead vocals, guitar, keys and bass, the pair use their diverse talents to bring to life their shared sonic vision.
The story of The Harbours began back in 2020 when Will and Ollie met at university. When the pandemic led to lockdowns, the two found themselves confined to their halls of residence. To pass the time and lift their spirits, they, along with other musically inclined friends, would spend hours singing and playing music.
This period of impromptu jamming sessions evolved into the formation of a band and over the next three years, they gigged locally, playing over 40 live performances. Upon graduating, Ollie and Will decided to formalise their musical partnership by stepping out as The Harbours, dedicating themselves to creating and performing music full-time.
Earlier this year, The Harbours made their official debut in April with the single “Out of Sight,” which showcased their unique blend of modern indie and classic pop influences. The track was well-received and helped them gain a loyal following, particularly via extensive radio support from BBC Introducing.
Now, The Harbours have returned with their sophomore single, “So Sweet,” a vibrant and catchy tune that perfectly distils the spirit of youthful romance and the carefree vibes of summer days. Jumping straight in with the flicker of lively guitar leads riding the uptempo bounce of the drums, an instant upbeat sound wraps around the listeners as Ollie’s sooth vocal leads float above the guitar-driven arrangement to spin infectious melodies that will stick with you for days.
Perfectly balancing a dreamy indie rock sound with danceable rhythm, “So Sweet” sees The Harbours serves up another stunning jam brimming with memorable moments and vibrant instrumentation peppered with dashes of sax, strings and slick lead guitar work. As they continue to impress on their second outing, 2024 is sure to be a breakout year for this thrilling new duo who are set to win over fans across the UK and beyond.
