It tells the listeners about how this girl feels trapped in her thoughts, craving love however can’t seem to get out of her mind into the real world. I feel like we can all relate to her, someway or the other. My music is for everyone and No One is just the beginning”.

The Pink Flamingos – I Was
Released back in October of last year, The Pink Flamingos’ ‘I Was’ details itself as an anthem that’s suited for your upcoming summer playlist. With not many years behind their belt, time means nothing when you release music that has an infectious beat and message to it’s core. The Pink Flamingo’s story began on a night out where main songwriter Beau Halford met lead guitarist Will Looms. Unlike most intoxicated conversations, this chat about forming a band actually followed through. Fast forward to now, the outfit’s second single ‘I Was’ is armed with a killer production and layers of energy.
The Pink Flamingos mentioned, “I Was’ is about the balance between thinking, and over-thinking, and how often it’s a very fine line between the two! With the undertone of letting go from negative thought “I Was” is essentially a feel-good track with the aim of inspiring its listeners to get up and go!” Filled with emotion from the track’s message, the upbeat arrangement illuminated through the instrumentation screams out with desire. Layered with grooves that will get you off your chair and dancing to centre stage. Expressive and fusing indie rock with a subtle stroke of rap into the mix, the alternative wonder needs to cool down because it’s HOT. The outfit are set to release a new single in summer, and I for one can’t wait to hear it.

Twin Stranger – Crushed
Welsh quintet Twin Stranger are led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Alex McConnachie. Composing power-pop music, the band’s infectious sound is mixed with pop melodies, synth soundscapes and dream-pop like guitar hooks. Starting as a lo-fi bedroom project, the outfit blossomed into a statement featuring Alex’s multi-instrumentalist brother Liam, as well as friends, Josh Newington (bass), Joe Tobin (keyboards) and Eric Karvik (drums). With elements of brit-pop blended with indie-pop, ‘Crushed’ is the band’s second single. Produced by Alex and producer Todd Campbell (The People The Poet, Samoans, WYNT) at Stompbox studios in South Wales, the short but sweet wonder radiates with light out of every crack.
On the track, Alex stated, “Crushed is about realising that some people you know just love listening to the sound of their own voice and other people’s troubles and feelings and life troubles only really enter their mind for a split second, then they’re gone again. On a more positive note it’s also about summer time when you’re a teenager, the days blend into one and you’re just hanging out with your friends without a care in the world, just living in the moment.” Fuelled with memorable hook lines, the track’s melody will bury it’s way into your head and you’ll be glad. a track that feels like it’ll head the world, ‘Crushed’ can already be heard from Twin Stranger’s future shows. Picture the scenes when the world has gone back to normal, and Twin Stranger start playing this at a live show… wow. A distinctive power-pop number that drives with guidance through the dark.
