Rising from Newcastle’s indie scene, Geordie outfit Leazes are fast becoming one of the most exciting names in alternative music. Known for their euphoric live shows, relatable lyrics and anthemic hooks, the band have earned a loyal following that’s only growing louder. Since making their debut with the single “Little Miss Media” back in 2023, they’ve steadily built a catalogue of infectious indie cuts, racking up thousands of streams and selling out headline shows across the North East.
With a strong presence both on stage and across social media, Leazes have established themselves as a band who know how to connect. From festival stages to packed hometown venues, their music translates directly into moments of shared joy and youthful abandon. Supported by platforms like BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio UK & USA and Future Hits Radio, the band’s steady rise now feels more like an inevitable explosion.
Their latest single comes with the brand new track titled “Sun’s Out,” a song which feels like the result of everything Leazes have worked towards. Already clockingover 300,000 views in the past month alone, the track is shaping up to be one of the defining sounds of summer 2025. With a shimmering production courtesy of Sugar House Productions, known for work with Corella, Glass Caves and Viola Beach and mastering by Grammy-nominated engineer Robin Schmidt, “Sun’s Out” arrives with a bang.
Jumping straight in as a joyous burst of optimism, “Sun’s Out” is exactly what it says on the tin; a sun-drenched anthem designed to soundtrack everything from road trips to festival fields. Every notes shakes with a sense of escapism, offering a musical exhale that invites listeners to let go of whatever’s weighing them down and revel in the moment.
Kicked off with the strike of drums, the track launches into a bright indie rock soundscape brimming with bouncing energy and lively guitar flickers before singer Joe King’s compelling voice glides in to spin instantly catchy leads above. From the jangling guitars to the infectious chorus to the rousing lead guitar in the bridge, the track captures the feeling of a perfect day, bottled and shaken up with their trademark Northern swagger.
With picture painting lyricism carried by uplifting hooks driven by energising uptempo arrangement, “Sun’s Out” sees Leazes serve up a spectacular musical moment that’s truly impossible not to love. Once again putting their memorable songwriting and slick performance panache on full display, Leazes are sure to put a smile on the faces of countless fans this summer of beyond.
Commenting on the single, frontman Joe King shares, “Sun’s Out is the ultimate feel-good anthem for anyone ready to ditch the daily grind and embrace life’s brighter side. It’s about chasing sunsets, forming new connections, and soaking up every carefree moment with the ones that mean the most. The track appeals to the spontaneous and childlike excitement that comes with summer.”
