Indie Rock from Tom Collins

Based in North Wales, Tom Collins is a singer-songwriter with a penchant for turning personal reflections into widescreen anthems. Serving up his own brand of indie rock cut with the melodic appeal of pop, his music strikes a delicate balance between vulnerability and drive.

Since his debut in 2019, Collins has earned a reputation for honest, emotionally-charged songwriting, influenced by modern UK acts like Sam Fender and Jamie Webster and delivered with the fiery spirit of classic British rock. His artistic journey began with Telling Tales, a four-track EP that introduced listeners to his engaging vocal presence and heartfelt lyricism.

It kick started a career that’s since been peppered with high-profile support slots alongside bands like The View, The Sherlocks and RATS, attesting to his ability to hold his own on some of the UK’s most exciting stages. Collaborations and co-writes have also played a crucial part in his musical adventure, particularly his songwriting sessions in Spain with Kyle Falconer of The View, which helped develop his sound and fuel new creative directions.

Now he brings us his first release of 2025 with his new single titled “Little Louis,” a single that marks a new chapter in his artistic story. Where earlier work leaned heavily into the energy of guitar-driven indie, “Little Louis” introduces a more contemplative atmosphere without losing its bite. It’s a track built for those in-between hours, moving enough to soundtrack a solo night drive, yet big enough in scope to fill a festival field.

Opened by the subtly uptempo pace of muted guitar notes and Tom’s compelling vocals which bounce above as the punch of shuffling drums injects a steady groove. Propelled by the snap of striking drums, the track bursts into a dazzling chorus of gripping pop-tinged hooks and bright layers of guitars, crafting an energising and truly infectious sound.

Led by his expressive vocal performance carrying heartfelt storytelling lyrics, “Little Louis” sees Tom Collins serve up an epic indie rock anthem brimming with invigorating rhythm and impassioned performance. Returning this year with an incredible new single, Tom Collins is set to continue going from strength to strength on his captivating musical voyage and we can’t wait to see what he’s got in store next.
