Brussels-based band CMON CMON is reshaping power pop in their own highly original way, bringing catchy songwriting and energising arrangements to the music scene. Formed by frontman Jorrit Hermans, bassist Steven Omblets and drummer Michel Becx, the trio has been quick to stake their claim as one of Belgium’s most exciting musical exports over the last couple of years.
With their compelling studio releases and engaging live shows, CMON CMON has earned a loyal fanbase and become an increasingly known act around the world. The band unveiled their sound in July 2022 with their debut single, “The Summers We Missed,” they followed up with more singles in the build up to their well-received debut album, The Crack And The Light, which arrived the next year.
Produced by Grammy-nominated Alex Newport and released to critical acclaim, the album earned a coveted spot on The Sunday Times Best Albums of the Year list and received widespread radio support. Off the back of a successful UK tour in support of the record, CMON CMON is now looking ahead to their upcoming EP, Headwind, which has been produced by James Brown at Trypoul Studio in The Netherlands.
Opening the first window into this new era, the lead single, “All The Other Kids,” has already set high expectations for what’s to come. Now, CMON CMON is back with their latest single, “Turn Off The Lights,” building on their penchant for crafting a memorable mix of power pop and indie rock, the track delivers another dose of the band’s fusion of driving rhythms, emotive lyrics and bright vocal performance.
Brought in by the roll of drums and sweep of jangly guitar tones, an upbeat sound of bouncy energy is met by Jorrit’s delicate vocal work, floating above the subtly driving arrangement. With an infectious chorus brimming with singalong writing and uplifting backing vocals, “Turn Off The Lights” serves up a stunning sound that’s guaranteed to impress anyone who hears it.
Building with slick lead guitar flourishes, the finale stacks layers of buoyant vocals to craft an epic final moment and leave a lasting impression of the song. Continuing to build the excitement for their forthcoming EP release, CMON CMON are set to continue their thrilling musical adventure throughout 2025 and beyond.
