JW Paris adopted on from the success of singles like “Geeks & Freaks”, “Who Are You”, and “Royalty” with their newest riotously kinetic indie earworm, Something, launched forward of their 2025 EP. The London-based alt-rock three-piece, made up of Daniel Collins, Gemma Clarke (Babyshambles, Adam Ant), and Aaron Forde, broke down the obstacles of consciousness and shot their 90s Britpop swagger straight via the foundations of constrictive identification parameters. If something goes to persuade you to shed your inhibitions… it’s Something.
The hinges are nonetheless on, however solely tightly sufficient to maintain the shimmer of the jangly guitars luminous via the scuzz, the distortion deliciously woozy, and the percussion punctuated with the sort of Machiavellian panache that solely somebody who lives and breathes resistance to conformity may ship. Vocally, all the appropriate pictures are fired to guide you down the rancorously electrifying rabbit-hole because the earworm proves how liberating it may be to take one of the best elements of existentialism, unchain your identification from expectation and embrace the liberation of cascading via subversions of actuality.
Oasis might have dominated the Britpop summer time, however now that the legacy acts have bedded down with the money from their exorbitant ticket costs, JW Paris is proudly owning Britpop autumn with a sound that loops risk and identification into one thing freshly riotous.
Something is now accessible on all main streaming platforms, together with Spotify.
