If you like a sure and certain ominous, dark groove with your course, fuzzy guitar and celestial synths, then WRKHOUSE are the lads you’ve been waiting ever patiently for. Their debut single ‘Getaway’ sees them bringing the aforementioned elements, topped off with a treacle-smooth, soulful melody, not unlike Manchester electronic-pop maestros Hurts with a grittier, more abrasive edge.
Having discarded a previous moniker (Lewys) and spent three years touring their rejuvenated wares across the width and breadth of the UK, the North Wales foursome appear to have conjured up enough hard-hitting, bass-lead, passion-packed numbers to start setting them free from the confines of sweaty gig venues to the wider music listening world and if the rest of their arsenal is as strong as this initial effort then we reckon the sky’s the limit for them.
‘Getaway’ was released on Friday 9th February 2024 and is available to hear on all of the streaming platforms. We’ve put a bandcamp link so you can hear the whole track below. If you like what you hear you can always bung them a quid to download and own it. Just, y’know, have a think about it:
