New music video from Tillerman

Hailing from Leeds, Tillerman is a family-focused outfit, anchored by the connection of brothers Jon and Tom Kulczycki who are joined by lead guitarist Shaun Mallia and Iain Moyser on bass. Taking cues from legendary sibling acts like The Everly Brothers and The Carpenters, Tillerman forges bright pop melodies, intricate guitar lines and harmonies that nod to timeless influences such as The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac.

The band’s musical story has been one of evolution and rediscovery, originally starting out under the name Satellite and becoming a key part of the Leeds music scene. However, life took them in separate directions in 2011, leading to a hiatus that allowed each member to explore individual pursuits. Seven years later, they reunited as Tillerman, bringing with them a renewed creative vision and a maturity that can only come from time and experience.

Their reintroduction to the music world came in 2019 with the release of their debut single “Hold Me Haunt Me.” The track marked the start of a new chapter and since then, the band has earned built a loyal following with a series of impressive singles and their knack for blending catchy melodies and meaningful lyrics.

Now, the band shares their latest release, “Rollercoaster,” a track that channels the spirit of the Britpop era with exhilarating modern energy. Recorded at Loom Studio in Leeds with longtime collaborative producer Grant Henderson, “Rollercoaster” is a shimmering tribute to the 90s music that soundtracked the band’s formative years that was initially penned over a decade ago.

With the style’s recent revival, the release of “Rollercoaster” felt more relevant that ever for Tillerman, who serve up a grooving jam brimming with twanging guitar tones, swaggering vocals and instantly catchy hooks. Jumping straight into a bouncy rhythm, shuffling drums and lightly gritty guitars are met with commanding vocals spinning infectious melodic leads before launching into an anthemic chorus of memorable Britpop that’s sure to win over older fans of the genre while charming first time listeners.

The accompanying music video reinforces the nostalgic theme, blending scenes shot in their hometown of Mirfield with visuals captured at Hull Fair, Europe’s largest travelling fair where the lights and lively atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for a song steeped in Britpop aesthetic. Taking inspiration from iconic 90s music videos, the video offers vivid colours and kaleidoscopic effects to cast an engaging visual pairing for Tillerman’s sensational new single.
