Luna Bay - New Music

Luna Bay – Video Star

British indie-rock quartet Luna Bay are back with a very special take on the classic 1979 hit ‘Video Star’ by The Buggles.

Lyrically inspired by the competitive nature of the music industry, the song features bold lyrics like ‘Radio’s dead and I killed the video star’, while the production delivers an energetic stadium-rock sound that is utterly captivating.

Luna Bay will headline London’s iconic Omeara on the 3rd February 2024, alongside a new EP which is scheduled for release around the same time. As a tastemaker favourite, the band have so far gained more than 12 million cumulative streams, and landed placements on playlists as prominent as Spotify’s New Music Friday.

Luna Bay – You

British rock outfit Luna Bay are back with a massive banger to kick-start the weekend.

‘You’ looks at that moment when you finally become independent and begin your own journey in life. Alongside its relatable lyricism, the song’s production treats listeners to an energising blend of pop, indie and rock.

“Our new single ‘You’ explores the change you experience moving away from home and how it affects the relationships you had with the people you grew up with. It’s also written as a letter to yourself and how those feelings always still remain deep down, even though you and the people around you have changed, for better or worse.”

To date, Luna Bay have amassed more than ten million career streams, and currently command close to 50k listeners on Spotify. You can explore their previous singles (…they’re all brilliant) here.

New Music: Rye Milligan

Welsh musician Rye Milligan is already a familiar face within the British indie-rock scene as a member of hugely popular outfit Luna Bay.

Aside from his work with the group, Rye is also an emerging singer, songwriter and producer who releases music with his best friend and dummer, Ceri Bain.

New single ‘Run Honey’ showcases a production that fuses alternative pop with indie in a refreshingly unique way, and is lyrically inspired by the monotony of life. Elaborating further on the song’s creation, Rye explains:

“I wrote the second verse for this while waiting for the Easy Life boys and their crew to arrive at their rehearsal studios in Leicester. I had this instrumental that I’d made and was just playing it on loop over my headphones, using any opportunity and free time to write.”

To date, Milligan’s work has picked up coverage on outlets as noted as BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio and Clash Magazine. An upcoming EP is scheduled for release soon.
