New single from The Samurais

Hailing from East Dorset in the UK, The Samurais are an indie rock outfit formed by lead singer and rhythm guitarist Neil Sexton, Tim Jones on bass, lead guitarist Rob Russell and drummer Paul Currah.

When they started the band in 2018 they began playing covers and originals gigs at various venues along the south coast, building up their reputation as performers to the point where they’re now being selected as headliners for local music festivals such as H&W Dorset Beer Festival in Blandford and Lightening Bolt Festival in Poole. Along the way they’ve also played at this year’s Teddy Rocks Festival and a sold-out show at Poole Lighthouse Theatre for ‘Live and Unheard’.

Now working on more material as they put together and record their debut album, they shared the first taste of their studio music earlier this year with their debut single “Do What you Feel”. Bringing us their sophomore track, they recently released their latest single titled “Silence of the Day”, making an impact straight away with radio support from BBC Radio Solent and more than 25 other radio stations in the UK, Europe, USA, Australia and South Africa.

With their second single, they lay down a timeless indie rock sound full of memorable lead melodies and delicate guitar-based arrangement that builds from a gentle ballad-style intro to an epic rock crescendo. Serving to showcase The Samurais’ talent as songwriters and performers, with “Silence of the Day” the outfit builds more excitement around them as a rising band and for their upcoming debut record.

Commenting on the new single, the band shares, “This song was mostly written whilst out walking on a hot summers day during lockdown trying to clear the head. It’s about staying strong and keeping faith that things will work out, even when things seem hopeless.”
