Bio: Leeds-based indie rockers The Brazen have released their anthemic new single ‘Delusion’. The new single follows sold-out shows all over the UK and media support from BBC Introducing, Fred Perry Subculture & more than 25 regional stations for their 2016 debut album Laser Lips. Since forming in early 2015, the five-piece have been tearing up venues around the UK and picking up fans at every gig. United by shared influences & musical cornerstones The Stone Roses, Queen & U2, their combination of classic rock sounds and Britpop melodies has also gained national and regional radio airplay and glowing online press. The boys’ debut album Laser Lips was recorded with producer Ed Heaton (Jon Gomm, Fold, NARCS) and channelled the glory days of 90’s indie into a vibrant set of pop rock tunes.
Track: Delusion
Why we Like It: Its smooth floaty indie, tender and laced in melancholy tones while still holding enough grit and edge to add texture to the track. The addition of orchestral string parts from Kieran O’Malley adds a layer of gravitas and epic melancholy to their fist-in-the-air chorus.Its subtly dramatic and elegant with a grandeur that sways and glides like a feather in the air.
The Brazen will be celebrating the release of the new single with the following live dates –
14th April – AATMA, Manchester
5th May – O2 Academy, Birmingham
13th May – Verve Bar, Leeds

Our Worth A Listen Track this week comes from The Brazen
The Leeds/Birmingham-based indie rock band The Brazen which consists of Ryan Hobbs (Vocals), Matt Lucas (Lead Guitar), Trev Phillips (Bass), Adam Larner (Drums) and Rob Clayton (Guitars) released their new single ‘Laser Lips’ yesterday, ahead of their début album that is set for release this May. ‘Laser Lips’ is a catchy upbeat tune full of swagger and a rock and roll vibe that makes you want to dance. Its an infectious tune that shows just how versatile these guys are. While ‘Burn It Down’ written by their very own Trev Phillips has a heavier rock sound, ‘Laser Lips’ lightens things up with a disco dance feel that definitely makes you want to “shake your hips”. Rob Clayton shows off his writing skills with the catchy fun lyrics accompanied with tight luminous instrumental and a blazing slick guitar solo. The contrast in style of both Phillips and Clayton make for a really promising album as their writing styles are different but they have the ability to combine elements of their styles to make great tunes.
‘Laser Lips’ is an energetic fun song that will have you up and dancing in no time! and we mustn’t forget to mention the confident strut like swagger in Hobbs vocals it will make you want to get up and strut your stuff with them.
The Brazens album will be available to pre order from tomorrow so make sure you get your copy!

‘Burn It Down’ is the first single to be taken from The Brazen’s début album. The Leeds/Birmingham-based indie rock band’s single was released on March 25th. Ryan Hobbs (Vocals), Matt Lucas (Lead Guitar), Trev Phillips (Bass), Adam Larner (Drums) and Rob Clayton (Guitars) have created a melodic song with tight instrumentals.’Burn It down’ is full of slick, radiant guitar riffs pounding drums and fluent vocals. This song is very catchy and upbeat and is a very promising track that ticks all the boxes. It is well written and composed with soft verses that burst into a vigorous chorus. A strong single to set us up for what looks like a stunning album to come.
The Brazen’s début album is set for release this May and was recorded with talented producer Ed Heaton (production credits include Jon Gomm, Fold, Ellen & The Escapades & more) at the beginning of this year. With a string of sold out shows and a performance at Elland Road already under their belt, these guys are set to do well.
