TRIERS’ New Stirring, Indie/Alt Rock Single ‘Home’ Out Now

Shropshire’s Triers return with new single “Home”, out now, a towering indie anthem that lays bare the frustration, resilience, and raw humanity of life inside the music industry.

Recently crowned BBC Introducing Artist of the Week (with plays three times a day on Shropshire, Stoke, Hereford & Worcester), Triers have already seen their music echo around Wolves’ Molineux Stadium and catch the attention of tastemakers at BBC Radio 6 Music. 
“A mountain of sound rising from the Midlands.” – BBC Introducing

With “Home”, the band sharpen that momentum into something fearless — a candid statement about rejection, self-worth, and the refusal to give up. “Home isn’t about a place,” says frontman Nick Taylor, “It’s about chasing your dream, getting told you’re not good enough, and finding your sense of belonging in spite of that. The lyric ‘put me back on the shelf’ came from how it feels to be part of an industry that celebrates you one minute and forgets you the next. But we’re still here, and this song is our way of saying that’s where we belong — in the noise.”

Produced by Gavin Monaghan (Editors, The Twang, Robert Plant) at Magic Garden Studios, “Home” captures the band’s trademark “mountain of sound” — thick layers of guitars, driving rhythms, and vocals that ache with intent. With lines like “Lie to me in routine”, “put me back on the shelf” and “File under shh,” Triers turn their frustration into catharsis — a defiant roar from the underdogs of British indie.

Based between Shropshire and the West Midlands, Triers are a rising indie/alternative force known for their emotionally charged live shows and widescreen sound. Having toured across the UK and progressed to Round 2 of the Artist Breakout Programme, they’ve built a reputation as one of the most compelling grassroots acts in the country. From hometown shows at Albert’s Shed (Shrewsbury/Telford) to stages nationwide, Triers are the sound of unfiltered honesty wrapped in anthemic grit — a band living up to their name.

Triers are:
Nick Taylor – vocals / guitar
CJ Loveitt – guitar
Alex Bachene – drums
CJ Allen – bass / keys / backing vocals

OCEANS ON ORION Release New Single ‘Out Of Your Happiness’, Feat. Dani Sophia

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: OCEANS ON ORION. Leave a comment

With Out of Your Happiness, OCEANS ON ORION step away from post-breakup bravado and into something far more vulnerable. Their new single, featuring guitar wizard Dani Sophia on lead guitar, doesn’t rage – it bleeds. It captures the moment you realize someone you loved has moved on to a joy you’ll never share, and you’re left wrestling with the echo.

“Why did you choose to leave me out of your happiness?”
It’s a question that never finds an answer, only a wall of guitars, crushing riffs, lingering memories, and a voice suspended between love and resentment.

If No Romeo burned the diary, Out of Your Happiness reads what’s left in the ashes. It’s intimate, almost uncomfortably close, a confessional carried by melody, not asking for sympathy, but for release.

Streaming platforms: https://ffm.to/ooyh

Oceans on Orion fuse technical metal precision with emo-punk urgency, wrapping emotional storytelling in powerful riffing, soaring hooks, and brutally honest lyrics. Their glam-tinged, genre-bending approach has earned them placements on playlists like New Nordic Metal & Hard Rock, and stages across Europe – including Rock the Camp 2025 — alongside bands such as Ice Nine Kills, Five Finger Death Punch, Orphaned Land, and Walkways.
