London/Cambridge rock band MAUVE have released their new single ‘Branches‘ which is taken from their recently released EP of the same name.The band comprised of Steve Campbell (Guitar/Vox), Leuan Smith (Bass/Vox), Ben Smith (Drums) formed through Gumtree in 2018 and have 2 EP’s to their name, countless shows and sessions/features on Punktastic, BBC Introducing and disorder TV.

‘Branches‘ is a powerful display of alternative rock as MAUVE deliver their exhilarating wall of sound through an explosive and passionate number. The track travels on a jogging bass line as the band create tension for the verses before unleashing a lightning strike of a chorus. Capturing the frustrations of being a band during the pandemic, lyrically it tackles inner struggles but also wider subjects such as climate change through adrenaline inducing soundscapes and tight instrumentation. The soaring guitars swarm around punchy drums and a kinetic bass foundation while Campbell’s warm expressive vocals carry the catchy vocal line with confidence and emotive strength. Well crafted and refined ‘Branches’ is an expressive force to be reckoned with.
