Pentire – Being Underwater

Herefordshire indie chaps Pentire kick off their year with not only a new single but also a UK-wide tour, which we highly recommend you try and catch.

‘Being Underwater’ serves as the group’s focus track on their new EP, titled ‘Love On TV’ (out now). The song itself is a sincere and mellow, yet emotive, piece of music that mirrors its lyrics beautifully.

“‘Being Underwater’ is about moving out to the city and finding life beyond your hometown. Growing up and succumbing to real life can feel isolating and often as if you’ve been ‘underwater’ all these years. This song was written during a visit back to my family home, in a break from the newfound city life.” – Jack Morgan, Pentire

Pentire’s momentum has continued to grow recently, with the band’s music gaining support from outlets like BBC Radio 1 and 6Music, and their headline concert shows selling out nationwide.

Pentire – Give Me A Reason

With an ever-growing fanbase and continuing support from prominent tastemakers all across the country, it looks almost certain that Pentire will become the UK’s next big indie-rock group.

Today sees their return with an energising new single called ‘Give Me A Reason’. Serving as a teaser to the band’s upcoming ‘Now In A Minute’ debut EP (out this May), the track details the feelings of despair that occur when a relationship starts to break down.

“‘Give Me A Reason’ was written during a break from festivals in the summer of 2022. I was finally back in my childhood room after years at uni and on tour. It was refreshing being back where I used to write songs with the rawness and vulnerability of adolescence, which then inspired me to write this single.” – Jack Morgan, Pentire

Following a successful run of shows with milk. earlier this month, Pentire will once again hit the road in May on their very own headline tour. Dates are below and tickets can be found here.

New Music: Pentire

It’s safe to say that four-piece outfit Pentire are behind some of the most exciting indie-rock sounds to emerge from the UK right now.

Influenced by the likes of The Killers and Stereophonics, this promising group create energising and anthemic songs that are immediately captivating.

Powerful new single ‘Spinning’ is inspired the mental support that we sometimes seek from the people that are closest to us.

“For us, ‘Spinning’ represents a feeling of being trapped in your own thoughts, looking for a light. Embodied within a romanticism, this single represents looking to a loved one for help during hard times”.

While still early in their career, Pentire have already picked up attention from industry heavyweights as respected as Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy. The group will shortly embark on a UK tour alongside milk. (dates below, tickets here).
