Points drop new single “Steal To Feed”

UK-based rock outfit Points are fast earning a reputation for their thrilling guitar-driven sound and profound lyrics. The band’s ability to balance hook-driven melodies with meaningful themes has seen them win over listeners via a sound that feels both comfortably familiar yet forward-thinking.

Their unique approach to rock music, built on assured musicianship and powerful vocals, has firmly placed Points on the map of must-watch rock acts in the UK and beyond. First making their entrance back in 2018, they dropped their debut five-track EP, Adapt, before taking a hiatus from sharing their original sound with the world.

Returning this summer with new material, they released their first single, “Hey,” an epic rock ride of heartache and emotion that struck a chord with both fans and tastemakers alike. Building on the momentum of “Hey,” Points have now followed up with their latest release, their brand new single titled “steel to feed.”

Produced by Max Hopwood at London Road Studios, “Steal To Feed” is the second of a trio of tracks they recorded together and it stands as a bold anthem of escape and resilience. The song transports listeners into a dystopian landscape, exploring themes of survival and defiance in the face of uncertainty.

Setting a smokey atmosphere by the strike of plucked notes, the arrangement swells with intricate guitar leads and pattering drums before the lofty vocal leads enter to soar above the energising instrumentation. Spinning gripping melodies and picture painting lyrics, with “Steal To Feed,” Points lay down an engrossing listening experience that nods to their influences from the past and filters them through their own innovative sound.

Rising with impassioned vocal bursts and an enveloping soundscape full of charged energy in the crescendo, the track builds to an incredible finale that leaves a lasting and memorable impression. It’s a spectacular slice of the band’s highly original songwriting and visceral rock sound as they go from strength to strength with each move. With the third single produced in their recent sessions, “the artist,” set to arrive this November, Points are sure to continue impressing with their immense sound and compelling sonic vision.

Commenting on the single, vocalist and bass player Rob Sanderson shares, “From the moment we wrote the music, images of a getaway scene in a post-apocalyptic world came to mind, like in the films ‘The Book of Eli’ and ‘Mad Max’. With that, the song evolved into a futuristic Robin Hood story. The classic tale of stealing from the rich to give to the poor. It made me think how better off we could all be if we helped each other, and even if things are looking extremely bleak, there’s probably someone out there trying to make a difference in one way or another.”
