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 limitations of consciousness and shot their 90s Britpop swagger straight by the foundations of constrictive id 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 by 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 proper photographs are fired to guide you down the rancorously electrifying rabbit-hole because the earworm proves how liberating it may be to take the very best components of existentialism, unchain your id from expectation and embrace the liberation of cascading by subversions of actuality.
Oasis could have dominated the Britpop summer season, 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 id into one thing freshly riotous.
Something is now accessible on all main streaming platforms, together with Spotify.
