Only Sun

Marking the release of their jubilant new single ‘I Can’t Stand it’ today, Only Sun are pleased to reveal a fittingly emphatic new video to accompany it.


Echoing the music itself, the new video is a whirlwind of vibrant colour peppered with the band’s trademark humour. Filmed at Saracen House Studio in Milton Keynes, what started out as a sincere and artful band shoot, soon descended into pure pandemonium. As Aabid Kanji of Only Sun reflects: “[ For the ‘I Can’t Stand It’ video ] we wanted to focus more on the music and performance side of the song than some of our other (more ridiculous) videos. This concept lasted for about half-an-hour of the shoot day, at which point we discovered the props cupboard in the studio. The video that we’ve ended up with is a perfect amalgamation of Only Sun. Fun, colourful, and just the right amount of stupid.”

Strewn with pin-balling dual guitars and elasticated rhythms reminiscent of Two Door Cinema Club or Circa Waves, and matched with an infectious chorus guaranteed to be your earworm for the day, ’I Can’t Stand It’ is another premium addition to the Only Sun canon. The track follows the band’s summer smash ‘It’ll Be Alright’ released on the Close-Up label earlier this year.

Endearingly tipping its hat to the tug-of-war game that love can sometimes be, ‘I Can’t Stand It’ is something of an inverted love song and dedicated (with tongue-firmly-in-cheek) to the long-suffering love interests of the Only Sun boys. Speaking about the new single, Only Sun say: “I know I drive you crazy. But I love you really. Winding people up is the thing we do best and it is the ones we love that we test the most. Grovelling apologies is our next best skill and the two compliment each other wonderfully. The thing is, it’s way too peaceful all the time – and that’s just a little bit boring isn’t it?

The new single arrives as the High Wycombe five-piece look to get stuck into a string of headline shows across the UK throughout October and November. Kicking-off at Southampton Heartbreakers, the band will then chart their way around 7 UK shows that stand as some of the biggest venues they have played to date. They arrive at the Tynemouth Surf Café on Friday 1st November.

Making a case for being one of the hardest working band’s on the indie scene right now, Only Sun ambitiously delivered 12 top-drawer singles in 12 months in 2018 alone (racking up over 1.6 million Spotify streams in the process), before making their debut on the Closeup label in 2019 with the sensational ‘VICE’. Frequently found in tastemaker playlists including The Indie List, Hot New Bands, New Music Friday UK and earning praise from BBC Radio 6 kingpins Steve Lamacq & Tom Robinson, and from Clash Magazine (who praised the band as: “five dreamers who want to make music that really says something”) and across the wider blogosphere, word is beginning to spread like wildfire about this intrepid indie five piece. And with a string of high profile sold out shows to their name across the UK in 2019 already, it’s clear that this band’s time in the sun is now.

Only Sun are:

Euan Bryden

Ed Miguens

Daz McManus

Taylor Lacey

Aabid Kanji

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema...

The Stagg Do 5 years in the making, written by an American (James DeMarco) , about Geordies, starring Geordies, with Geordie music and with a premiere screened on Westgate Road at the O2 Academy, this was truly a local affair. The story, about a camping trip involving a groom, his best man and his mates takes a turn for the uncomfortable when the father-in-law to be joins the group. Staggy, played by Andrew Stagg is being chaperoned by his fiancee's (Charlotte, played by Therase Neve) father, "The Judge". Daddy-in-law to be, is played by Bill Fellows, a familiar face on many TV series and films. This scuppers the plans of best-man Pob, and pals Si (Simon Buglass) and Radgy (Craig Conway), who really wanted the trip to evolve into a "beer and titties" extravaganza. Much silliness, drug references, the funny things that can happen, in the dark, in the Northumberland countryside add up to an enjoyable romp enhanced greatly by a fabulous soundtrack provided ent...

#livereview Gary Lucas at The Cluny

Live Review:  Gary Lucas at The Cluny, Newcastle Still buzzing from a standing ovation in Liverpool the night before, Gary opened the show with a cover: I Remember .The rich sound came from his “distressed” acoustic guitar which he claimed was older than him .  Gary filled in between songs with history and amazing anecdotes. He was an anglophile in New York.  He studied at Yale. He loved the Move. He reminisced about John peel breaking Beefheart in U.K.  He saw Beefheart in New York. Interviewed Don Van Vliet for student radio whilst majoring in English Literature. Beefheart was bigger in Europe and Australia rather than in the US, but he knew then he wanted to perform with them. The next song was on electric. Evening Bell was a finger-picking  master class. He’s kept the explosive, disjointed quality of the song as he was instructed to play it all those years ago.  He talked about working as record company advertising executive....
